Adjust the Oven Thermostat
Wall Oven
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 only affect
baking temperatures; it does not affect broiling
or self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment
will be retained in memory after a power failure.
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.
To adjust
the oven
thermostat
1 Press the BAKE and BROIL HIGH/LOW pads at
the same time for 3 seconds until the display
shows “SF.”
2 Press the BAKE pad of the oven on which you
want to adjust the oven thermostat. A two-digit
number shows in the display.
Press BAKE once to decrease (-) the oven
temperature, or twice to increase (+).
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
the START pad to go back to the time of day
display. Use your oven as you would normally.
NOTE: For double oven models, the upper and
lower ovens are adjusted separately.
