Adjusting The Oven Temperature Control ,--14 - Whirlpool RB17OPXY Use And Care Manual

Adjusting the oven temperature control
Does your oven seem hotter or colder than your
old oven? The temperature of your old oven may
have shifted gradually without you noticing the
change. Your new oven is properly adjusted to
provide accurate temperatures. But, when
compared to your old oven, the new design may
give you different results.
If, after using the oven for
a
period of time, you
are not satisfied with the temperature settings,
they can be adjusted by following these steps:
Single/upper oven:
1.
Push the Bake pad and hold for 4 seconds.
The display will show the current temperature
offset, for example "00" if you have not
previously adjusted the temperature.
2. To adjust the temperature, use the Temp
pad(s). Push A to raise the temperature or V
to lower the temperature in 5'F increments.
You can set the temperatule change to as low
as -35'F or as high as +35'F. A minus (-) sign
will appear before the number when decreas-
ing the temperature setting to show the oven
will be cooler by the displayed amount.
3. After making the desired adjustment, push
any command pad to enter the new offset
temperature.
