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 offset 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 Flex Clean keypad to toggle between plus (+) if
increasing temperature or minus (-) if decreasing the
temperature. These symbols will show in the display.
4. Press to accept change.
Important notes:
• Oven temperature adjustments made will not change the
Broil or Flex 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 Flex
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 from actual temperatures.
• The oven temperature adjustment may be made if your
oven control has been set to display °C (Celsius)
temperatures. Minimum and maximum settings for
Celsius are plus (+) or minus (-) 19°C.
