Adjust the lower and upper oven
thermostats—Do it yourself!
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become
more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in
memory after a power failure.

To Adjust the Lower Thermostat
|~^ Touch the Bake and Warm pads at the
same time for 3 seconds until the display
shows SF.
^ Touch the Bake pad. A two-digit number
shows in the display.
Touch Bake once to decrease (-) the oven
temperature, or twice to increase (+).
The oven temperature can be adjusted up
as much as 35°F or down as much as
35°F. Touch the number pads the same
way you read them. For example, to
change the oven temperature 15°F, touch
1 and 5.
~/f\ When you have made the adjustment,
touch the Stoft pad to go back to the
time-of-day display. Use your oven as you
would normally.
NOTE- The thermostat adjustment for Baking
will also affect Convection Baking or Convection
Roasting.
To Adjust the Upper Thermostat
Pull the OVEN CONTROL knob off the
range and look at the back side. To make
an adjustment, loosen (approximately one
turn), but do not completely remove, the
two screws on the back of the knob.
With the back of the knob facing you, hold
the outer edge of the knob with one hand
and turn the front of the knob with the
other hand. To raise the oven temperature,
move the top screw toward the right. You'll
hear a click for each notch you move the
knob. To lower the temperature, move the
top screw toward the left.
Each click will change the oven
temperature approximately 10°F. (Range is
±30°F. from the arrow.) We suggest that
you make the adjustment one click from
the original setting and check oven
performance before makingany additional
adjustments.
~j] After the adjustment is made, retighten
screws so they are snug, but be careful
not to overtighten.
Re-install knob on range and check
performance.
The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the
other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.
