SSaaffeettyy Instrruuccttiioonnss OOppeerraattiinng Insttrruuccttioionnss Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support Adjust the oven thermostat-Easy to do yourself! GEAppliances.com 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°F. NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures (on some models). The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure. To Adjust the Thermostat with this Type of Knob Front of OVEN TEMP knob (knob appearance may vary) Pointer Pull the OVEN TEMP knob off the range and look at the back side. To make an adjustment, loosen (approximately one turn), but do not completely remove, the two screws on the back of the knob. To increase the oven temperature, move the pointer toward the words "MAKE HOTTER." To decrease the oven temperature, turn the pointer toward the words "MAKE COOLER." Each click will change the oven temperature approximately 10°F. (Range is plus or minus 60°F from the arrow.) We suggest that you make the adjustment one click from the original setting and check oven performance before making any additional adjustments. After the adjustment is made, retighten screws so they are snug, but be careful not to overtighten. Replace the knob, matching the flat area of the knob to the shaft, and check performance.
