Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!
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 degrees.
NOTE:
This adjustment will not affect the broiling temperature. The adjustment will be retained in memory
after a power failure.
To Adjust the Thermostat
Press the
BAKE
and
BROIL HI/LO
pads
at the same time for 3 seconds until
the display shows
SF.
Press the
BAKE
pad. A two digit
number shows in the display.
The oven temperature can be
adjusted up to (+) 35°F. hotter or (-)
35°F. cooler. Tap the
TEMP +
pad to
increase the temperature in 1 degree
increments. Tap the
TEMP –
pad
to decrease the temperature in
1 degree increments.
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.
The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
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.
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.
Care and cleaning of the oven.
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the oven.
How to Remove Packaging Tape
To assure no damage is done to the finish
of the product, the safest way to remove
the adhesive left from packaging tape on
new appliances is an application of a
household liquid dishwashing detergent,
mineral oil or cooking oil.
Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
Wipe dry and then apply an appliance
polish to thoroughly clean and protect
the surface.
NOTE:
The plastic tape must be removed from all
chrome trim. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
Oven Shelves
Clean the oven shelves with an abrasive
cleanser or steel wool.
After cleaning, rinse the shelves with
clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
