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 or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained 

in memory after a power failure.

To Adjust the Thermostat

Touch the 

Bake

and 

Broil Hi/Lo

pads 

at the same time for 3 seconds until the
display shows 

SF.

Touch the 

Bake

pad. A two digit number

shows in the display. 

Touch 

Bake

once to decrease (-) 

the oven temperature, or twice to
increase (+).

The oven temperature can be adjusted
up as much as 35°F. or down as much
as 35°F. Touch the number pads the
same way you read them. For example,
to change the oven temperature 15°F,
touch 

1

and 

5.

When you have made the adjustment,
touch the 

Start

pad to go back to the

time of day display. Use your oven as
you would normally.

NOTE: 

The thermostat adjustment for Baking 

will also affect Convection Baking or Convection
Roasting. 

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 affects 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.

Adjust the upper oven thermostat—Do it yourself!

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
