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 keypad until the control provides
the 2nd audible tone (about 6 seconds).
2. Enter 2 0 using numeric keypad.
3. Press Self Clean keypad 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:
• Oven temperature adjustments made 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, you can toggle between the
minus (-) or plus (+) in the display when pressing Self
Clean keypad (See step 3).
• DO NOT USE oven thermometers such as those found in
grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside
your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much
as 20 to 40°F degrees from actual temperatures.
• The oven temperature adjustment may be made if your
oven control has been set to display °C (Celsius)
temperatures. Maximum and minimum settings for
Celsius are plus (+) or minus (-) 19°C respectively.

Operating Oven Light

The interior oven light will automatically turn ON when the
oven door is opened.
Press Oven Light to turn the interior oven light ON and
OFF whenever the oven door is closed. Note that the oven
light will not work during a Self Clean cycle.
The interior oven light is located at the upper left rear wall of
the oven interior and is covered with a glass shield held by
a wire holder. The glass shield protects the bulb from high
temperatures and should always be in place whenever the
oven is in use.
To replace the interior oven light, see Replacing oven
light in the Care & Cleaning section.

Restoring Default Settings

Restoring your default settings will reset all recipes and
other adjustments to factory settings. These include 12 or
24 hour display, continuous bake or 12-Hour Energy
Savings mode, silent or audible control mode, Fahrenheit or
Celsius temperature display and any oven temperature
adjustment settings that have been made.
1. Press and hold the 7 keypad until the first single tone
sounds (6 seconds).
