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.Put the Oven Temperature knob in the OFF position.

2.Press and hold the HOUR INCREASE

HOUR

and the HOUR DECREASE pads at the

 

 

same time for 5 seconds until the display

 

changes.

3.Immediately, before display changes back, press the HOUR INCREASE or DECREASE pads to increase or decrease the temperature in 5 degree increments.

The oven temperature can be increased up to 35°F. hotter or decreased 35°F. cooler.

If the oven adjustment is set cooler than the factory setting a minus sign “–” and the offset temperature will appear in the display.

4.Wait several seconds for the control to automatically set and return to its previous setting.

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