"BQiT 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 control knob is in the off
position, press and hold, at the
same t_rae, the HOUR UP and
DOWN arrow pads for 4 seconds
until the display shows a two digit
number.
2, Press the HOUR UP arrow pad to
increase the temperature from the
original setting up to +35 ° F hotter,
OF
Press the HOUR DOWH arrow
pad to decrease the temperature
from the original setting down to
-35 ° F cooler.
3. When this adjustment has been
made the display will return to the
time of day.
This adjustment will remain in memory
until these steps are repeated and a
new temperature is selected. It will
remain in memory even after a power
failure.
This adjustment will not affect the Broil
or Clean temperatures.
