USING YOUR OVEN

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, after using the oven for a period of time, 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 inaccurate reading. Also, the thermometer temperature reading will change as your oven cycles.

Saving energy

To avoid loss of heat, open the oven door as little as possible.

Use a timer to keep track of cooking time.

Plan your meals for the most efficient use of the oven by cooking more than one food at a time, or baking while the oven is still hot after cooking a meal.

2. Set new offset temperature.

Press the “up” () pad to raise the temperature or the “down” () pad 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 decreas- ing the temperature setting to show the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount. There is no sign in front of the number when increasing the temperature setting.
