Oven Cooking Adjusting the Oven Temperature Oven temperatures are carefully tested for accuracy at the factory. It is normal to notice some baking or browning differences between a new oven and an old one. As ovens 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 the Bake pad. 2. Enter 550° by pressing the appropriate number pads. 3. Press and hold the Bake pad for several seconds or until 0° appears in the display. If the oven temperature was previously adjusted, the change will be displayed. For example, if the oven temperature was reduced by 15° the display will show "-15°". 4. Press the Autoset 0 pad to adjust the temperature. Each time the Autoset 0 pad is pressed, the temperature changes by 5°. The oven temperature can be increased or decreased by 5° to 35°. Pressing the Autoset 0 pad will first cycle through increasing the oven temperature (5, 10, . . . 35). Continuing to press the Autoset 0 pad will then cycle through decreasing the oven temperature (-35, -30, . . . -5). 5. The time of day will automatically reappear in the display. You do not need to readjust the oven temperature if there is a power failure or interruption. Temperature adjustment applies to Bake, Convect Bake and Convect Roast only. Broiling and cleaning temperatures cannot be adjusted. Favorite The Favorite pad allows you to save the time and temperature from Cook & Hold function. To set a Favorite cycle, a Cook & Hold function must be either active or just programmed. To set a new Favorite cycle or to save a currently running Cook & Hold as a Favorite: 1. Program a Cook & Hold cycle as described in the Cook & Hold section on page 12. 2. Press and hold the Favorite pad for three seconds. • The newly set or currently running Cook & Hold cycle will be saved. • A beep will sound to indicate that the control has accepted the Favorite setting. To start a cycle programmed into Favorite: 1. Press the Favorite pad. • Time and temperature for the set Cook & Hold cycle will be displayed. (If no Cook & Hold cycle has been programmed, "nonE" is displayed.) 2. Press Bake, Convect Bake or Convect Roast. • The Favorite cycle will begin immediately. • The selected cycle word will light in the display. • The cooking time will light in the display. When the cooking time has elapsed: • The selected cycle word will turn off. • HOLD and WARM will light. • 170° will display. To cancel a Favorite cycle in progress: 1. Press the CANCEL pad. • The stored Favorite cycle will not be affected. 2. Remove food from the oven. 16
