Adjusting the Oven Thermostat
If you don’t think the oven is heating at the right temperature when you are baking or roasting, you can reset the thermostat yourself.
When cooking food for the first time in your new oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven thermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” from the factory setting and the differences in timing between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes are not unusual. Your oven has been set correctly at the factory and is
more likely to be accurate than the oven which it replaced.
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive thermometers, such as those found in the grocery store, to check the temperature setting of your new oven. These thermometers can vary by 2040 degrees.
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 “test” should give you an idea of how much the temperature should be changed.
To Adjust the Temperature:
1.Press the BAKE pad.
2.Select an oven temperature between 500°F. and 550°F.
3.Immediately, before “ON” appears, press and hold the BAKE pad for about 4 seconds. The time display will change to the oven adjustment display.
4.The oven temperature can be adjusted up to
(+) 35°F. hotter or
5.When you have made the adjustment, press the CLEAWOFF pad to go back to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect Broil or Clean temperatures. It will be retained in memory after a power failure.

Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately
using an oven control system. It is recommended that you operate the oven for a number of weeks using the time given on recipes as a guide to become familiar with your new oven’s performance. If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjusting the Oven Thermostat section.
