(Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For well done 170°F (77ºC). All cook times shown are after 2 minutes of preheating. Adjusting the oven temperature Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to ensure an accurate baking temperature. For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperature recommendations carefully. If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too cool for your recipe times, you can adjust the control so the oven cooks hotter or cooler than the temperature displayed. Do not use oven thermometers such as those found in grocery stores to check the temperature settings inside your oven. These oven thermometers may vary as much as 20 to 40 degrees from actual temperatures. To adjust oven temperature: 1. Press Bake. 2. Set the temperature to 550°F (288°C) by pressing and holding . 3. Within 3 seconds, press and hold Bake until numeric digit(s) appear. Release Bake key. The display now indicates the amount of degrees offset between the original factory temperature setting and the current temperature setting. If the oven control has the original factory calibration, the display will read 00. 4. The temperature can now be adjusted up or down 35°F (19°C), in 5°F increments. Press and hold to adjust the temperature higher un- til the desired amount of offset appears in the display. When lowering the oven temperature using , a minus sign (-) will appear before the number to indicate that the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount of degrees. 5. When you have made the desired adjustment, press OFF to go back to the time of day display. NOTE • Oven temperature adjustments made will not affect the broil or self cleaning feature temperatures. • If the display is set for Celsius, adjustments made will be in 1°C increments with each press of arrow keys. • If at any time during the process of adjusting the oven temperature feature you decide not to make the change, press the OFF key once before the acceptance beep.
