You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks
to become more familiar 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. These
thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it does not affect broiling or self-cleaning
temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease 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 fat
content 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 the other hand,
contain less fat and more water. The high- moisture content of these spreads affect the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best
results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
To Adjust the Thermostat
Press the Bake and Broil Hi/Lo pads at the
same time for 3 seconds until the display
shows SF.
Press the Bake pad for the oven which you
want to use. A two-digit number shows in
the display.
Press Bake again to alternate between
increasing and decreasing the oven
temperature.

The oven temperature can be adjusted up
to (+) 35°F hotter or (-) 35°F cooler. Press
the number pads the same way you read
them. For example, to change the oven
temperature 15°F, press 1 and 5.
When you have made the adjustment,
press the Start pad to go back to the time
of day display. Use your oven as you would
normally.
