Adjust the Oven Thermostat

Wall Oven

Do it yourself!

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.

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

NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking temperatures; it does not affect broiling, convection or self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

To adjust the oven thermostat

1Press the BAKE and BROIL HIGH/LOW pads at the same time for 3 seconds until the display shows “SF.”

2Press the BAKE pad of the oven on which you want to adjust the oven thermostat. A two-digit number shows in the display.

Press BAKE once to decrease (-) the oven temperature, or twice to increase (+).

3The oven temperature can be adjusted up to (+) 35°F hotter or (-) 35°F cooler. Press the number pads the same way you read them. For example, to change the oven temperature 15°F, press 1 and 5.

4When you have made the adjustment, press the START pad to go back to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affect the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

ZEK938, ZET938, ZEK958, ZET958 specifications

The GE Monogram ZET958, ZEK958, ZET938, and ZEK938 are premium wall ovens designed to elevate culinary experiences in modern kitchens. With a focus on innovation, these models combine sophisticated design with advanced technology to deliver exceptional cooking performance.

One of the standout features of the GE Monogram wall ovens is their European-inspired design, which offers a sleek and professional appearance. The stainless steel finish not only enhances the aesthetic of any kitchen but also ensures durability and ease of cleaning. The ergonomic controls are strategically positioned for user convenience, allowing easy access to all cooking functions.

In terms of cooking capabilities, these wall ovens are equipped with a powerful convection system. This technology circulates heated air throughout the oven, ensuring that food cooks evenly and efficiently, eliminating hot spots. This results in perfectly baked goods and evenly roasted meats every time.

The ovens also feature multiple cooking modes, including traditional bake, roast, broil, and the advanced steam baking option. A steam baking function introduces moisture into the oven during the baking process, which helps to create a beautifully crisp exterior while keeping the interior moist. This is particularly beneficial for artisan bread, pastries, and even meats.

Another significant characteristic of the GE Monogram series is the integration of smart technology. With Wi-Fi connectivity, users can monitor and control their ovens remotely via a smartphone app. This functionality allows chefs to preheat their ovens, adjust cooking settings, or receive notifications when their food is ready, making it easier to multitask in today's fast-paced environment.

Furthermore, these models come with a self-cleaning feature that minimizes user maintenance. The high-temperature cleaning cycle vaporizes food residue, leaving the oven clean without the need for scrubbing.

Safety is also a priority in these wall ovens, featuring advanced sensors that detect when the oven is overheated and automatically shut it down to prevent accidents.

In summary, the GE Monogram ZET958, ZEK958, ZET938, and ZEK938 wall ovens embody luxury and functionality. With their combination of powerful convection cooking, steam baking, smart technology, and elegant design, these ovens meet the needs of both amateur cooks and seasoned chefs, making them a valuable addition to any kitchen.
