SERVICE INFORMATION
Adjusting the Oven
Thermostat
After using your oven the first few times, it
may seem hotter or cooler than your previous
oven. Oven thermostats, over a period of
years, may drift from the factory setting and
timing differences of 5 to I0 minutes are not
unusual between an old and a new oven. You
may be inclined to think that the new oven is
not performing correctly; however, your new
oven has been set correctly at the factory and
is more likely to be accurate than the oven it
replaced.
If you think the oven should be hotter or
cooler, you can adjust it yourself. To decide
how much to change the thermostat, set the
oven temperature 25°F higher or lower than
the temperature in your recipe, then bake. The
results of the "test" should give you an idea of
how much the thermostat should be changed.
To adjust the thermostat:
I. Press the OVEN TEMP pad.
2. Press the A or V pad and select an oven
temperature between 500°F and 550°F.
3. Press and hold the OVEN TEMP pad for
about four seconds. The display will change
to the oven adjustment display which reads
00 °.
4. The oven thermostat can be adjusted up to
+35°F hotter or -35°F cooler. Use the • or
• pad to select the desired change in the
display.
5. When you have made the adjustment, press
the CANCEL pad to return to the time of
day display. Use your oven as you would
normally.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the Broil
temperature. The new temperature will be
remembered if the power is interrupted.
Fault Codes
