Range & Wall Oven - TrueTemp System
The TrueTemp™ system with advanced technology provides exceptional cooking performance and consistently even oven temperatures. The TrueTemp™ system includes an electronic oven control and a platinum tipped oven sensor for even heat distribution and maximum oven control. The TrueTemp™ system was featured on many Ranges and Wall Ovens for many years. This system is no longer featured on our newer models.
Understanding the TrueTemp™ System on Ranges and Wall Ovens
The TrueTemp™ system was designed with a SmartLogic™ electronic oven control using a platinum tipped sensor that monitors and maintains the oven temperature. It senses sudden, significant heat loss and responds with extra power. The control will click on and off as it cycles every 2 to 3 minutes, which is normal.
