(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). 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 and hold the Bake key and release when the display shows the factory temperature setting of 00. If the oven temperature has been previously adjusted from the factory setting, the last adjusted value will appear in the display instead. 2. The temperature can now be adjusted up +35°F (+19°C), in 5°F increments with each press of the key. 3. When lowering the oven temperature using the key, minus sign (-) will appear before the number to indicate that the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount of degrees. 4. To accept the change, wait for the oven control to provide an acceptance beep. NOTE Oven temperature adjustments made will not affect the Broil temperatures. If the display is set for Celsius, adjustments made will be in 1°C increments 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. 23
