 If your oven said temperature is too hot or not hot enough, you may need to adjust your oven's thermostat settings. We'll walk you through this simple process in a few quick and easy steps. No tools are required for this process. The video features temperature adjustments for control panels with plus and minus buttons or up and down arrows depending on which model you are using.

If this does not look like your control panel, please check out our other temperature adjustment videos. To find your model, you can adjust your oven set temperature up or down by up to 35 degrees by simply accessing the special features menu on the control panel. Press bake and broil button simultaneously and hold for three seconds.

You will then see SF appear in the display, then press bake. You will then see a number between 35 and negative 35 in the display. Use the up arrow or plus button to increase the set temperature by one degree increments. To decrease the temperature, use the down arrow or minus button. For example, if you want to increase your oven's temperature setting by five degrees, press the upper plus five times.

If you want to decrease your oven's temperature by five degrees, press the down arrow or minus button five times. To save and exit the special features, press start.
