Adjusting Oven Temperature
Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to
ensure an accurate baking temperature. For the first few
uses, follow your recipe times and temperature
recommendations carefully. If you think the oven is cooking
too hot or too cool for your recipe times, you may adjust
the control so the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the oven
temperature displayed.
The oven temperature may be increased as much as +35°F
(+19°C) or decreased -35°F (-19°C) from the factory
calibrated settings.
Example; to increase (+) or decrease (=) the oven
temperature by 20°F:
1. Press and hold Bake key pad until the control provides
the 2nd audible tone (about 6 seconds).
2. Enter 2 0 using numeric key pad.
3. Press Flex Clean key pad to toggle between plus (+) if
increasing temperature or minus (-) if decreasing the
temperature. These symbols will show in the display.
4. Press START to accept change.
Important notes:

Broil or Flex Clean function temperatures
" If the temperature shows an adjustment of 20°F, and a
+20°F adjustment is needed, you can toggle between the
minus (-) or plus (+) in the display when pressing Flex
