The lower temperature allows food to cook to the well done stage without excessive browning. To change oven temperature during broiling, press the Broil pad and then the More+ or Less- pad to switch between LO and HI broil.

It is normal to notice some baking or browning differences between a new oven and an old one. As ranges get older, the oven temperature can shift. You may adjust the oven temperature if you think the oven is not baking or browning correctly. To decide how much to change the temperature, set the temperature 25 ° higher or lower than your recipe recommends, then bake. The results of the "test" should give you an idea of how much to adjust the temperature. To adjust the oven temperature: 1. Press Bake. 2. Enter 550° by pressing the More+ pad. 3.
