Use and Care Manual
Your new touch pad control has additional features that you may choose to use. The following are the features and how 
you may activate them. 
The special feature modes can only be activated while the display is showing the time of day. They remain in the  
control’s memory until the steps are repeated. 
When the display shows your choice, touch the Start/On pad. The special features will remain in memory after  
a power failure.
NOTE: The Sabbath feature and the Thermostat Adjustment feature are also Special Features, but they are addressed 
separately in the following sections.

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 not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in 
memory after a power failure.
To Adjust the Thermostat
 Touch the Bake and Broil Hi/Lo pads at 
the same time until the display shows SF.
 Touch the Bake pad. A two-digit number 
shows in the display.
 The oven temperature can be adjusted up 
to (+) 35°F hotter or (–) 35°F cooler. Touch 
the + pad to increase the temperature in 
1-degree increments.
 Touch the – pad to decrease the 
temperature in 1-degree increments.
 When you have made the adjustment, 
touch the Start/On pad to go back to the 
time of day display. Use your oven as you 
would normally.
Energy Saver Mode (on some models)
To save energy, you can turn off the time of 
day clock and the display when the range is 
not in use.
