Temperature Adjustment - Sears Kenmore 911.41475 Owner's Manual

"DO IT YOURSELF"
TEMPERATURE
ADJUSTMENT
You may feel that your new oven
cooks differently than the oven it
replaced. We recommend that you
use your new oven a few weeks to
become more familiar with it,
following the times given in your
recipes as a guide.
If you think your new oven is too hot
(burning foods) or not hot enough
(foods are undercooked) you can
adjust the temperature yourself The
appearance and texture of foods is a
better indicator of oven accuracy than
oven thermometers, to check the
temperature setting of your new oven.
These thermometers can vary by
20-40 degrees. In addition, the oven
door must be opened to read these
thermometers Opening the door will
change the temperature of the oven.
To decide how much to change the
temperature, set the oven
temperature 25 degrees higher (if
foods are undercooked) or 25
degrees lower (if foods are burning)
than the temperature in your recipe,
then bake. The results of this "test"
should give you an idea of how much
the temperature should be changed.
While the oven is not in
use, press and hold
down both the BAKE
and BROIL pad, for 3
seconds, until the
display shows SF
_3b.
Press the BAKE pad. A
factory set 2 digit
number will show in the
display, usually 00
if you think the oven
is not hot enough,
Press the NUMBER pad
to increase (+) the
temperature up to
+35°F,
if you think the oven
is too hot,
Press the BAKE pad
again and the NUMER
pads to decrease (-)
the temperature down to
.35°F
Press the START pad,
This increased or decreased
temperature setting wilt remain in
memory until the above steps are
repeated. A power failure will not
affect this setting°
The broil and self-clean temperatures
will not be affected.
