ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT—
DO IT YOURSELF!
You may find that your new oven cooks differently
than the one it replaced. We recommend that you
use your new oven for a few weeks to become more
familiar with it, following the times given in your
recipes as a guide.
If you think your new oven is too hot or too cool,
you can adjust the thermostat yourself. If you think
it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler. If
you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make
it hotter.
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive
thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores,
to check the temperature setting of your new oven.
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.
The thermostat adjustment for Baking also affects
Convection Baking and Convection Roasting.
To Adjust the Thermostat:
1. Press the upper oven BAKE
and BROIL HI/LO at the same
time for 2 seconds until the
display shows “SF.”
NOTE: The thermostats in the
upper and lower ovens need to
be adjusted separately. Once
you have completed step 1
follow the steps below pressing
the upper or lower oven pads
depending on which oven
thermostat you want to adjust.
2. Press BAKE. A two digit
number shows in the display.
Press BAKE once to increase
(+) the oven temperature, or
twice to decrease (-).
3. The oven temperature can be
adjusted up to (+) 35°F. hotter
or (-) 35°F. cooler. Press the
number pads the same way you
read them. For example, to
increase the oven temperature
15°F., press 1 and 5.
4. When you have made the
adjustment, press START to go
back to the time of day display.
Use your oven as you would
normally.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling
or self-cleaning temperatures. It will be retained in
memory after a power failure.
