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 the 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 BAKE for 5 seconds.

The display will show the current offset tempera- ture, for example “00,” if you have not already adjusted the temperature.

2.Set the new offset temperature.

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.
