The temperature in the oven has been preset at the factory. When first using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times and temperatures. If you think the oven is too hot or too cool, the temperature in the oven can be adjusted.

The baking results should help you to decide how much of an adjustment is needed.

The oven temperature can be adjusted ±35°F (±19°C ).
