You may find that your new oven cooks
differently than the one it replaced. Use your
new oven for a few weeks to become more
familiar with it. If you still think your new oven
is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the
thermostat yourself.
1 Press the BAKE and BROIL HI/LO pads
at the same time for 3 seconds until the
display shows "SF."
2 Press the BAKE pad of the oven which you
want to adjust the oven thermostat. A two
digit number shows in the display.
Press BAKE once to decrease (-) the oven
temperature, or twice to increase (+).
3 The oven temperature can be adjusted up to
(+) 35°F. hotter or (-) 35°F. cooler. Press the
number pads the same way you read them.
For example, to change the oven temperature
15°F., press 1 and 5.
4 When you have made the adjustment, press
the START pad to go back to the time of day
display. Use your oven as you would normally.
Most recipes for baking have been developed
using high fat products such as butter or
margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat,
the recipe may not give the same results as
with a higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies,
pastries, cookies or candies are made with
low fat spreads. The lower the fat content
of a spread product, the more noticeable
these differences become.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found
in grocery stores, to check the temperature
setting of your oven. These thermometers may
vary 20–40 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or
the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be
retained in memory after a power failure.
Federal standards require products labeled
"margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by
weight. Low fat spreads, on the other hand,
contain less fat and more water. The high
moisture content of these spreads affect the
texture and flavor of baked goods. For best
results with your old favorite recipes, use
margarine, butter or stick spreads containing
at least 70% vegetable oil.
