ADJUSTING THE OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROL

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

If you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting results, you can change the offset temperature by following the steps below.

1.Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds.

The display will show the current offset tempera- ture, for example “00,” if you have not already adjusted the temperature.

NOTE: DO NOT measure the oven temperature with a thermometer. Opening the oven door will lower the oven temperature and give you an incorrect read- ing. Also, the thermometer temperature reading will change as your oven cycles.
