3 CONTROL LOCK for about 5 seconds until "CONTROL LOCK"
and a picture of a lock appear on the display. Repeat to unlock
and remove "CONTROL LOCK" from the display.

Oven Temperature Control

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven
temperature because opening the oven door during cycling may
give incorrect readings.
The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook
faster or slower than your previous oven, so the temperature
calibration can be adjusted. It can be changed in Fahrenheit or
Celsius.
A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed
amount. No sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed
amount. Use the following chart as a guide.
ADJUSTMENT °F
(AUTOMATIC °C CHANGE)
5° to 10°F (3° to 6°C)
15° to 20°F (9° to 12°C)
25° to 35°F (15° to 21°C)
-5° to -10°F (-3° to -6°C)
-15° to -20°F (-9° to -12°C)
-25° to -35°F (-15° to -21°C)
To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:
1. Press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds or until the oven display
shows the current calibration, for example, "0° CAL COOK
TEMP" or "0° CAL."
2. Press BAKE to increase and BROIL/MAXI/ECONO to
decrease the temperature in 5 F (3 C) amounts. The
adjustment can be set between 35°F (21 C) and
-35°F (-21 C).
On some models, press the TEMPERATURE "up" or "down"
arrow pads (buttons) to increase or decrease the temperature
in 10°F (6°C) amounts. The adjustment can be set between
30°F (18°C) and -30°F (-18°C).
