Setting Oven Controls

Adjusting oven temperature

Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to ensure an accurate baking temperature. For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperature recommendations carefully. If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for your recipe times, you may adjust the control so the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the oven temperature displayed.

The oven temperature may be increased as much as +35°F (+19°C) or decreased -35°F (-19°C) from the factory calibrated settings.

To adjust oven temperature:

1.Press Bake key pad.

2.Set the oven temperature to 550°F (287°C) by pressing

and holding the Adjusting oven temperature key pad. Release when 550°F appears in display (287°C if control is set for Celsius display mode).

3.Within 2 seconds, press and hold Bake key pad until numeric digit(s) appear. Release Bake keypad. The display now indicates the amount of degrees offset from the original factory temperature setting and the current temperature setting. If the control still has the original factory calibration, the display will read 0.

4.The temperature may be adjusted up or down 35°F (19°C), in 5°F increments by pressing and holding the

To adjust oven temperature: or Operating oven light (on some models) key pads. Adjust until the desired amount of temperature offset appears in the display and release key pad.

5.Press Manual background to accept and return to normal operation.

Important notes:

Oven temperature adjustments made will not change the Broil or Select Clean operating temperatures.

DO NOT USE oven thermometers such as those found in grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much as 20 to 40°F degrees from actual temperatures.

The oven temperature adjustment may be made if your oven control has been set to display °C (Celsius) temperatures. Minimum and maximum settings for Celsius is plus (+) or minus (-) 19°C.

If the display mode is set for Celsius, adjustments made

will be in 1°C increments each press of the Manual background or Manual background key pads.

Operating oven light (on some models)

The interior oven light will automatically turn ON when the oven door is opened.

Press the rocker switch marked OVEN LIGHT on the control panel to turn the oven light ON or OFF whenever the oven door is closed.

The oven light is located at the upper left rear wall of the oven interior and is covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The glass shield protects the bulb from high temperatures and should always be in place whenever the oven is in use.

To replace the interior oven light, see Replacing oven light in the Care & Cleaning section.
