Adjusting the Oven Temperature
Oven temperatures are carefully tested for accuracy at the
factory. It is normal to notice some baking or browning
differences between a new oven and an old one. As ovens
get older, the oven temperature can shift.
You may adjust the oven temperature if you think the oven is
not baking or browning correctly. To decide how much to
change the temperature, set the temperature 25 degrees
higher or lower than your recipe recommends, then bake.
The results of the first bake should give you an idea of how
much to adjust the temperature.
To adjust the oven temperature:
1. Press the appropriate Bake pad.
2. Enter 550° by pressing the appropriate number pads.
3. Press and hold the Bake pad for several seconds or until
00° appears in the display.
If the oven temperature was previously adjusted, the
change will be displayed. For example, if the oven tem-
perature was reduced by 15° the display will show “-15°”.
4. Press the Autoset pad to adjust the temperature.
Each time the Autoset pad is pressed, the temperature
changes by 5°. The oven temperature can be increased or
decreased by 5° to 35°.
5. The time of day will automatically reappear in the display.
You do not need to readjust the oven temperature if there is a
power failure or interruption. Temperature adjustment applies
to Bake, Convect Bake and Convect Roast (lower oven only)
only.

they must be turned on before the Sabbath Mode is
