ADJUSTING OVEN TEMPERATURE
The temperature in your new oven has been set correctly at
the factory, so be sure to follow the recipe temperatures and
times the first few times you bake in your new oven.
If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust
it yourself. To decide how much to change the temperature,
set the oven temperature 25°F higher or lower than the
temperature in your recipe, then bake. The results of this
‘lest" should give you an idea of how much the temperature
should be changed.
To Adjust Oven Temperature:
1. Push the BAKE button.
2. Select a temperature between 500°F and 550®F with the
SET knob.
3. Quickly (within two seconds, before the BAKE Function
energizes) push and hold the BAKE button.
The display will change to the amount of degrees differ­
ence between the original factory temperature setting and
the current temperature setting. If the oven has the origi­
nal factory setting, the display will read 00.
4. The temperature can be adjusted up to 35®F hotter or
cooler (in 5°F steps), by turning the SET knob. A minus
sign (-) before the number means that the oven will be
cooler by displayed amount of degrees.
5. When you have made the desired adjustment, push the
CLOCK button to go back to the time of day display or use
your oven as you would normally.
Note: The self-clean temperature will not be changed by the
adjustments described above.
