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.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Easy to do yourself!

ge.com

Pull the OVEN TEMP knob off the range
and look at the back side. 

To make an adjustment, loosen
(approximately one turn), but do not
completely remove, the two screws on
the back of the knob.

To 

increase

the oven temperature,

move the pointer toward the words

“MAKE HOTTER.”

To 

decrease

the oven temperature,

turn the pointer toward the words

“MAKE COOLER.”

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 click from the original
setting and check 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.
