Adjusting the Oven Temperature

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 ovens get older, the oven temperature can shift.

To cancel the 12-hour shut-off and run an oven continuously for 72 hours:

1. Press and hold the Clock pad for three seconds

•“SAb” will be displayed and flash for five seconds.

•“SAb” will then be displayed continuously until turned off or until the 72-hour time limit is reached.

•BAKE will also be displayed if a bake setting is in use while the oven is in Sabbath Mode.

•All pads are inactive except CANCEL and Clock. All other functions EXCEPT BAKE (Timer, Keep Warm, Clean, etc.) are locked out during the Sabbath Mode.

To cancel the Sabbath Mode:

1.Press the CLOCK pad for three seconds.

•“SAb” will flash for five seconds.

•The time of day will return to the display.

OR

2.After 72 hours, the Sabbath Mode will end.

•“SAb” will flash for five seconds.

•The time of day will return to the display.

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 degrees higher or lower than your recipe recommends, then bake. The results of the first bake should give you an idea of how much to adjust the temperature.

To adjust the oven temperature:

1.Press the appropriate Bake pad.

2.Enter 550° by pressing the appropriate number pads.

3.Press and hold the Bake pad for several seconds or until 00° appears in the display.

If the oven temperature was previously adjusted, the change will be displayed. For example, if the oven tem- perature was reduced by 15° the display will show “-15°”.

4.Press the Autoset pad to adjust the temperature.

Each time the Autoset 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. Temperature adjustment applies to Bake, Convect Bake and Convect Roast (lower oven only) only.
