Oven Calibration - Viking 30'' W Service Notebook

Electric oven calibration using the EATON
thermostat. The adjustment screw is located
on the bottom of the thermostat ( 3/32 Allen
head screw ). Each 1/4 turn is equal to approx-
imately 35 degrees.

temperature.
If the oven temperature is off more then 50 degrees
you should change the thermostat.
REMEMBER WHEN YOU CHANGE THE OVEN
TEMPERATURE YOU ARE ALSO CHANGING
THE SELF-CLEAN TEMPERATURE. (As a rule
of thumb you should only calibrate the thermostat only
to increase the oven temperature.)
A. Center Oven Temperature Check: Before
turning the oven on, check the thermostat
sensor bulb position. It should be straight, no
kinks and secured in the mounting clips.
B. Place the oven rack in the center of the oven.
C. Place the thermocouple lead in the center of the
rack and close the door. Avoid touching metal
with the thermocouple junction.
D. Set the selector switch to " BAKE" and the
temperature dial to 350*.
NOTE: Do not overshoot the 350* mark. When
you go beyond 35 0*, return the control to the
lowest setting and reset to 350*.
E. Cycle the oven 5 times ; Average the 3rd, 4th,
and 5th cycles. The temperature is acceptable if
the average is 350* +/-25 *.
