Adjust the oven thermostat—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 morefamiliar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. Thesethermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it does not affect broiling, convection or self-cleaningtemperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.To Adjust the Oven Thermostat (on some models)Press the Bake and Broil Hi/Lo pads (ondouble oven models, use the upper ovencontrols) at the same time for 3 secondsuntil the display shows SF. Then proceedwith steps 2 through 4, using the padsfor the upper or lower oven.Press the Bake pad. A two-digit numbershows in the display.On models with number pads,press Bake again to alternate betweenincreasing and decreasing the oventemperature.The oven temperature can be adjustedup to (+) 35°F hotter or (-) 35°F cooler.On models with number pads, pressthem the same way you read them.For example, to change the oventemperature 15°F, press 1 and 5.On models with Temp + and – pads,press them to increase or decrease thetemperature in 1 degree increments.When you have made the adjustment,press the Start pad to go back to thetime of day display. Use your oven asyou would normally.To Adjust the Oven Thermostat (on some models)Pull the OVEN knob off the shaft, look at theback of the knob and note the current settingbefore making any adjustment. The knob isfactory set with the top screw directly underthe pointer.Pull off the OVEN knob.Loosen both screws on back ofthe knob.Hold both parts of the knob as shown inthe illustration of the back of the OVENknob and turn so the lower screw movesin the desired direction.You will hear and feel the notches as you turnthe knob. Each notch changes temperatureabout 10° Fahrenheit.Tighten the screws.Return the OVEN knob to the oven.Re-check oven performance before making anyadditional adjustments.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 youdecrease 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 fatcontent 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 theother hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affect the texture and flavorof baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containingat least 70% vegetable oil.Turn the disk counterclockwise toincrease the oven temperature.Turn the disk clockwise to decreasethe oven temperature.14Safety InstructionsOperating InstructionsCare and CleaningTroubleshooting TipsConsumer Supportor(depending on model)+
