Adjusting Oven Temperature
Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to
ensure an accurate baking temperature. For the first few
uses, follow your recipe times and temperature
recommendations carefully. If you think the oven is cooking
too hot or too cool for your recipe times, you may adjust
the control so the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the oven
temperature displayed.
The oven temperature may be increased as much as +35°F
(+19°C) or decreased -35°F (-19°C) from the factory
calibrated settings.
Oven temperature adjustments made will not change the
Broil or Select Clean operating temperatures.
DO NOT USE oven thermometers such as those found in
grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside
your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much
as 20 to 40°F degrees from actual temperatures.
The oven temperature adjustment may be made if your
oven control has been set to display °C (Celsius)
temperatures. Minimum and maximum settings for
Celsius is plus (+) or minus (-) 19°C.
If the display mode is set for Celsius, adjustments made
will be in 1°C increments each press of the
or
key pads.
Important notes:
To adjust oven temperature:
1. Press Bake key pad.
2. Set the oven temperature to 550°F (287°C) by pressing
and holding the
key pad. Release when 550°F
appears in display (287°C if control is set for Celsius
display mode).
3. Within 2 seconds, press and hold Bake key pad until
numeric digit(s) appear. Release Bake keypad.
The
display now indicates the amount of degrees offset from
the original factory temperature setting and the current
temperature setting. If the control still has the original
factory calibration, the display will read 0.
4. The temperature may be adjusted up or down 35°F
(19°C), in 5°F increments by pressing and holding the
or key pads. Adjust until the desired amount
of temperature offset appears in the display and release
key pad.
5. Press
to accept and return to normal operation.
