Broiling Chart

Oven temperatures are carefully tested for accuracy at the factory. It is normal to notice some baking or browning differences between a new oven and an old one. As ranges get older, the oven temperature can shift.

You may adjust the oven temperature if you think the oven is not baking or browning correctly. To decide how much to change the temperature, set the temperature 25° higher or lower than your recipe recommends, then bake. The results of the "test" should give you an idea of how much to adjust the temperature.

To adjust the oven temperature:

1.

Press Bake.

 

2.

Enter 550° by pressing the More+ pad.

 

3.

Press and hold the Bake pad for several

More+

seconds or until 0° appears in the display.

If the oven temperature was previously adjusted, the change will be displayed. For example, if the oven temperature was reduced by 15° the display will show ,,15 °''"

4.Press the More+ or Less= pad to adjust the temperature.

Each time a pad is pressed, the temperature changes by 5°. The oven temperature can be increased or decreased by 5°to 35°.

5.The time of day will automatically reappear in the display.

You do not need to readjust the oven temperature if there is a power failure or interruption. Broiling and cleaning temperatures cannot be adjusted.
