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.
NOTE:
This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it does not affect the broiling temperature.
The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

BAKE
and
BROIL HI/LO
pads at the same time for 3 seconds

The oven temperature can be
adjusted up to (+) 35°F hotter or
(-) 35°F cooler. Tap the
