U sing and Caring for Your Oven

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.

Release the Bake pad when a number appears in the temperature display and you hear a tone.

“0” (the setting shown) is set at the factory.

2. Set new offset temperature.

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 dis- play goes past 35°F. At that point the display will return to 0 and will then de- crease 5°F for every time you press the Bake pad. You can set the offset tem- perature adjustment as low as -35°F or as high as +35°F. (To determine the amount of adjustment needed, see the chart on page 21.)
