"DO-IT-YOURSELF"
OVEH
TEMPERATURE
ADJUSTMEHT
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_
Your oven has been preset to maximize
cooking
efficiency.
If you think your new oven is too hot
(burning foods), or not hot enough (foods are under-
cooked) you can adjust the temperature yourself. The
appearance and texture of foods Is a better Indicator of
oven accuracy than an Inexpensive oven thermometer.
We do not recommend
the use of inexpensive
thermometers,
such as those found in the grocery
store, to readjust
the temperature
setting
of your
new oven,
These thermometers can vary by 20°-40°F,
Also, you must open the oven door to read the
thermometer and this changes the temperature of the
oven.
To decide how much to change the temperature, set the
oven temperature
25°F higher (if foods are under-
cooked) or 25°F 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.
To adjust temperature
follow these instructions;
I. Press and hold down the HR, UP and DOWN arrow
pads at the same time, until the display shows a two
digit number.
(This two digit number may vary
according
to the original factory
setting.)
2. Press the HR.
UP arrow
pad to increase
the
temperature up to +35°F hotter,
Press the HR. DOWN
arrow pad to decrease the
temperature by -35°F cooler,
3. When this adjustment
has been made the display will
return to the time of day clock.
Your oven's thermostat
will retain this temperature
adjustment
until each of the three steps above are
repeated° This adjustment will remain in memory even
after a power failure°
You wilt not need to do anything
else.
Bake as you
normally would. This adjustment will not affect broil or
clean temperature°
