ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT—

DO IT YOURSELF!

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. We recommend that you use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it, following the times given in your recipes as a guide.

If you think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself. If you think it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler. If you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make it hotter.

We do not recommend the use of inexpensive thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your new oven. These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.

To Adjust the Thermostat:

1.Press the BAKE pad.

BAKE

2.Select an oven temperature between 500°F. and 550°F.

3.Immediately, before the BAKE indicator stops flashing, press and hold the BAKE pad for about 4 seconds. The display will change to the oven adjustment display.

4.The oven temperature can be adjusted up to

(+)35°F. hotter or (–) 35°F. cooler. Use the + or – pads to select the desired change in the display.

5.After you have made the adjustment,

CLEAR press the CLEAR/OFF pad to go back

OFF to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or self-cleaning temperatures. It will be retained in memory after a power failure.
