Do it
yourself!
You may find that your new oven cooks
differently than the one it replaced. Use your
new oven for a few weeks to become more
familiar with it. If you still think your new
oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust
the temperature yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found
in grocery stores, to check the temperature
setting of your oven. These thermometers may
vary 20–40 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking
and roasting temperatures; it does not affect broiling,
convection, speedcooking or self-cleaning temperatures.
The adjustment will be retained in memory after a
power failure.
The type of
margarine
will affect
baking
performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed
using high-fat products such as butter or
margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat,
the recipe may not give the same results as
with a higher-fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies,
pastries, cookies or candies are made with
low-fat spreads. The lower the fat content
of a spread product, the more noticeable
these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled
“margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by
weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand,
contain less fat and more water. The high
moisture content of these spreads affects the
texture and flavor of baked goods. For best
results with your old favorite recipes, use
margarine, butter or stick spreads containing
at least 70% vegetable oil.
To adjust the

1 Select SETTINGS, then MORE, then MORE,
then ± temp. Select upper or lower oven for

temperature adjustment in 1° increments.
Continue until desired number is displayed.
The oven temperature can be adjusted up
to (+) 35°F hotter or (-) 35°F cooler.
3 When you have made the adjustment, select
HOME to go back to the main display. Use
your oven as you would normally.
