Kenmore 970- 6986 manual Adjusting oven temperature, Restoring factory default settings

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

Example — To increase (+) or decrease (-) the oven temperature by 20°F:

1.Press and hold Bake keypad until the control provides the 2nd audible tone (about 6 seconds).

2.Enter 2 0 using numeric keypad.

3.Press Flex Clean keypad to toggle between plus (+) if increasing temperature or minus (-) if decreasing the temperature. These symbols will show in the display.

4.Press to accept change.

Important notes:

•Oven temperature adjustments made will not change the Broil or Flex Clean function temperatures.

•If the temperature shows an adjustment of -20°F, and a +20°F adjustment is needed, you can toggle between the minus (-) or plus (+) in the display when pressing Flex Clean keypad (See step 3).

•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 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 are plus (+) or minus (-) 19°C.
