Adjusting Oven Temperatures

Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to ensure
accurate baking temperatures. 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.
To increase (+) or decrease (-) the oven temperature by 20°F:
1.
Press and hold Bake until the control produces an audible
tone (about 6 seconds). The factory offset temperature of
0 (zero) should appear in the display.
2. Enter 2 0 using numeric keys.
3. Press Self Clean to toggle between plus (+) if increasing
temperature or minus (-) if decreasing the temperature.
4. Press
to accept change.
Important note:
Oven temperature adjustments will not change the Broil or
Self Clean function temperatures.
If the temperature shows an adjustment of -20°F, and a
+20°F adjustment is needed, toggle between the minus (-)
or plus (+) in the display by pressing the Self Clean key.
Do not use oven thermometers such as those found in
grocery stores. These oven thermometers may vary as much
as 20 to 40°F degrees from actual temperatures.
