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 broiling, convection or self-cleaning
temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.
To Adjust the Oven Thermostat
Press the
Bake
and
Broil Hi/Low
pads
at the same time for 3 seconds until the
display shows
SF.
Then proceed with
steps 2 through 4.
Press the
Bake
pad. A two-digit number
shows in the display.
On models with number pads,
press
Bake
again to alternate between
increasing and decreasing the oven
temperature.
The oven temperature can be adjusted
up to (+) 35°F (approx. 20°C) hotter
or (-) 35°F (approx. 20°C) cooler.
On models with number pads, press
them the same way you read them.
For example, to change the oven
temperature 15°F, press 1 and 5.
On models with
Temp +
and
–
pads,
press them to increase or decrease the
temperature in 1 degree increments.
When you have made the adjustment,
press the
Start
pad to go back to the
time of day display. Use your oven as
you would normally.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the
other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affect the texture and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing
at least 70% vegetable oil.
