ADJUSTI]NG
OVEN TEMPERATURE
The temperature in your new range has been set correctly
at the factory,
so be sure to follow the recipe tempera-
tures and timesthe
first few times you bake in your new
oven.
If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler, you can
adjust it yourself.
To decide how much to change the
temperature,
set the oven temperature
25°F higher or
lower than the temperature
in your recipe, then bake.
The results of this "test" should give you an idea of how
much the temperature
should
be changed.
To adjust
temperature:
1_ Push the BAKE button.
2o Select the temperature
between 500°F and 550°F
with the SET knob.
3. Immediately,
push
and hold the BAKE button.
Continue to hold BAKE until the display changes to
show the preset oven temperature adjustment° If the
oven temperature
has the original factory
setting,
the display will read "00".
4. The temperature can be adjusted up to 35°F hotter or
35°F cooler (in 5°F steps), by turning the SET knob.
A minus sign (-) before the number means that the
5_
oven will be cooier by displayed
amount of degrees.
The temperature
you select
is the new preset oven
temperature
adjustment.
When you have made the desired adjustment,
push
the CLOCK button
to go back to the time of day
display or use your oven as you would normally.
The adjustment
you have
made
to the

the
oven
temperature
by that
amount
each
time
you

adjustment

temperatures,
It
will
be
remembered
when
power
is removed,
We
do
not
recommend
the
use
of
inexpensive
thermometers,
such as those
found in grocery
stores,
to readjust
the
temperature
setting
of your
new
oven,
These thermometers
can vary by 20 °- 40°F.
