Thermostat Adjustment-Dolt Yourself - GE JBP19 Use And Care & Installation Manual

You may feel that your new oven cooks differently
than the one it replaced. We recommend that you
use your new oven for 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 or too cold,
you can adjust the thermostat yourself. If you think
it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler. If
you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make
it hotter.
To Adjust the Temperature on Models with HOUR Pads
1. Press and hold the HOUR INCREASE
A
and the HOUR DECREASE pads for
5 seconds until the display changes.
2.
Using the HOUR INCREASE/
HOUR
DECREASE pads, change the set
temperature to be hotter or cooler
in 5 degree increments.
The oven temperature can be increased up
to 35°F. hotter or decreased 35°F. cooler.
If the oven adjustment is set cooler
than the factory setting a minus sign "-"
and the offset temperature will appear in
the display.

for 5 seconds to make the oven 20°F. hotter or

When you are adjusting the thermostat, the
following lights will flash indicating where the

adjustment button:
OVEN ON indicates the thermostat will be set at the
factory setting.

the knob.
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive
thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores,
to check the temperature setting of your new oven.
These thermometers may vary 2040 degrees.
3. Wait several seconds for the control to
automatically set and return to its previous setting.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or
the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be
retained in memory after a power failure.
