Oven Temperature Control
IMPORTANT:
Do not use a thermometer to measure oven
temperature because opening the oven door and element or
burner cycling may give incorrect readings.
The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook
faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature
calibration can be adjusted. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or
Celsius.
A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed
amount. No sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed
amount. Use the following chart as a guide.
To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:
1.
Press and hold BAKE until the lower oven display shows the
current calibration, for example, “0° CAL COOK TEMP”, if not
yet adjusted or about 5 seconds.
2.
Press BAKE to increase and BROIL · MAXI · · ECONO to
decrease the temperature in 5°F (3°C) amounts. The
adjustment can be set between 35°F (21°C) and
-35°F (-21°C).
3.
Press START.
