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 F (11–22 degrees C).
NOTE:
This adjustment will only affect baking, convection baking (on some models) and convection roasting
(on some models) temperatures; it will not affect broiling or self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be
retained in memory after a power failure.
To Adjust the Thermostat
Touch the
BROIL HI/LO
and
BAKE
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
again to alternate
between increasing and decreasing
the oven temperature.
The oven temperature can be
adjusted up to (+) 35ºF (19°C)
hotter or (-) 35ºF (19°C) cooler.
Touch the number pads the same
way you read them. For example, to
change the oven temperature 15ºF
(8°C), 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.

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

models) clean time or twice for a
3-hour (4-hour on some models)

A 3-hour self-clean time is
recommended for use when
cleaning small, contained spills. A
self-clean time of 4 hours or longer
is recommended for a dirtier oven.
If a time other than 4 hours or
3 hours is needed, use the number
pads and enter the desired clean

dirty your oven is.

will show the clean time remaining. It will
not be possible to open the oven door
until the temperature drops below the
lock temperature and the
