How to Calibrate or Adjust your Maytag Range or Oven
The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven. The oven temperature can be calibrated to fit your needs. If you have determined your oven needs to be calibrated, below are the most common calibration methods. Each method is going to be specific to your range or oven, so each method may need to be tried to determine which is correct for your specific model.
Determine Calibration Method | Oven Calibration Directions |
---|---|
Method 1 Does your control have a setting, options, or tools button? |
|
Method 2 If you press and hold the Temp/Time down arrow keypad for 5 seconds does the oven display show the current setting, for example, “0°F CAL” or “00.”? |
|
Method 3 If you press and hold BAKE for 5 seconds does the oven display show the current calibration, for example, “00.”? |

If the directions for your range or oven is not listed above please refer to your Owner's Manual.

New Oven and Too Cold
The oven provides accurate temperatures; however, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven.
It is normal to notice some baking or browning differences between a new oven and an old one. As ovens get older, the oven temperature can shift, this could indicate the oven temperature is either too hot or not hot enough.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure oven temperature. Burners will cycle on and off as needed to provide consistent temperature but may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door will affect cycling of the burners, impacting the temperature.
