GE JBP15DMBB, Use And Care Manual

Page: 20 / 80

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.
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°F.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures (on some models). The adjustment will
be retained in memory after a power failure.

Each click will change the oven
temperature approximately 10°F. (Range is
plus or minus 60°F from the arrow.) We
suggest that you make the adjustment one

oven performance before making any
additional adjustments.
After the adjustment is made , retighten
screws so they are snug, but be careful not
to overtighten.
Replace the knob, matching the flat area
of the knob to the shaft, and check
performance.
