Adjusting Oven Temperature
Note : The adjustments made will not change the self-cleaning temperature.
When first using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times and temperatures. If you think the oven is too hot or too cool, the
temperature in the oven can be adjusted. Before adjusting, test a recipe by using a temperature setting that is higher or lower
temperature than the recommended temperature. The baking results should help you to decide how much of an adjustment is
needed.
