Adjusting oven temperature

Although your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than your old oven.

If, after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the baking/ roasting results, you can change the offset temperature by following the steps below. The control will “remember” the selected offset even after the power has been inter- rupted or lost.

NOTE: Do not measure oven temperature with a thermometer. Opening the oven door will lower the oven temperature and give you an inaccurate reading. Also, the thermom- eter temperature reading will change as your oven cycles.

1. Choose Bake setting.

Each time you press the Bake pad, the displayed temperature will increase by 5°F. To decrease the temperature, hold down the Bake pad until the display goes past 35°F. At that point the display will return to 0 and will then decrease 5°F for every time you press the Bake pad. You can set the offset temperature adjustment as low as -35°F or as high as +35°F. (To determine the amount of adjustment needed, see the chart on page 24.)

3. Enter the adjustment.
