Range & Wall Oven - Cannot Set Oven Temperature

Many Ranges and Wall Ovens have a Fahrenheit or Celsius Temperature Selection as one of the “Special Features” found in the Owner's Manual. If the oven temperature cannot be set above 290 degrees or there is an ERR in the display, the oven is set for Celsius degrees.

Changing the Oven Temperature Selection to Degrees Fahrenheit

Press the BAKE and BROIL HI/LO pads at the same time for 3-5 seconds until the display shows SF.
Press the COOK TIME and BROIL HI/LO pads at the same time (on some models press BROIL only, refer to your use and care manual). The display should show C. Press both pads again until F shows in the display.
Press START to complete the change.

To change back to Celsius, follow the same instructions provided above. This information is included in the Owner's Manual for the specific model you own.
