It
the Oven Thermostat
If you don’t think the oven is heating at the right
temperature when you are baking or roasting, you
can reset the thermostat yourself.
When cooking food for the first time in your oven,
use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven
thermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” from
the factory setting and the differences in timing
between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes are
not unusual. Your oven has been set correctly at the
factory and is more likely to be accurate than the oven
which it replaced.
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive
thermometers, such as those found in the grocery
store, to re-adjust the temperature setting
your new
oven. These thermometers can vary by 20-40 degrees.
To decide how much to change the temperature,
set the oven temperature
higher or lower than
the temperature in your recipe, then bake. The results

temperature should be changed.

Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control
system. We recommend that you operate the range for a number of weeks
using the time given on recipes as a guide to become familiar with your
new oven’s performance. If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the
