Adjust the oven thermostat – Easy to do yourself!
You may find that your new oven cooks differently that 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°F.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures (on some models). The adjustment will be retained in
memory after a power failure.

the back of the knob and note the current set-
ting before making any adjustments.

pointer toward the words "MAKE COOLER."
Each notch changes the temperature by 10°F.

5. Replace the knob matching the flat area of the
knob to the shaft.

Most recipes for baking have been developed us-
ing 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.
Note: Except Model JCAS445
4. 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 nor-
mally.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling
or self-cleaning temperatures. It will be retained
in memory after a power failure.
Federal standards require products labeled "mar-
garine" 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 affects the texture and flavor of
baked goods. For best results with your old favor-
ite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads
containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
