USING YOUR RANGE

ADJUSTING THE OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Although your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than your old oven.

If you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting results, you can change the offset temperature by following the steps below.

NOTE: DO NOT measure oven temperature with a thermometer. Opening the oven door will lower the oven temperature and give you an incorrect reading. Also, the thermometer temperature reading will change as your oven cycles.

1. Press and hold CLOCK for 5 seconds.

PRESS

YOU SEE

The display will show the time of day. Then you

 

 

will see the current offset temperature, for

 

 

example “00,” if you have not already adjusted

 

 

the temperature.

 

 

 

 

(factory setting of “00”)

2. Set the new offset temperature.

PRESS

Press s to raise the temperature or t to lower

 

the temperature in 10°F amounts. You can set

 

the temperature change to as low as -30°F or as

 

high as +30°F. A minus (-) sign will appear before

 

the number when decreasing the temperature

 

setting. The minus sign shows the oven will be

 

cooler by the displayed amount. There is no sign

 

in front of the number when increasing the

 

temperature setting.

How to determine the amount of adjustment needed

The chart at the right tells you how much to adjust the offset temperature to get the cooking results you want. You can figure out cooking results by the amount of browning, moistness, and rising times for baked foods.
