ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT—

DO IT YOURSELF!

You may find that your new oven cooks differently
than the one it replaced. 
We recommend that you
use your new oven for a few weeks to become more
familiar with it, following the times given in your
recipes as a guide.

If you think your new oven is too hot or too cool,
you can adjust the thermostat yourself. 
If you think
it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler. If
you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make
it hotter. 

We do not recommend the use of inexpensive
thermometers, 
such as those found in grocery stores,
to check the temperature setting of your new oven.
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.

To Adjust the Thermostat:

1. Press BAKE and BROIL HI/LO

at the same time for 2 seconds
until the display shows “SF.”

2. Press BAKE. A two digit

number shows in the display.
Press BAKE once to increase
(+) the oven temperature, or
twice to decrease (-).

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 START
to go back to the time of day
display. Use your oven as 
you would normally.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling 
or self-cleaning temperatures. It will be retained in
memory after a power failure.
