How to Calibrate a Kitchen Aid Oven Thermostat
If your KitchenAid oven isn't cooking food properly, it could be due for a calibration. Although the temperature of the oven is calibrated at the factory, it may be necessary to recalibrate the oven after regular use. Calibrating your oven ensures that the internal temperature of the oven compartment is equivalent to the temperature set on the electronic oven control. When your oven is calibrated, cook times are more predictable, ensuring that food is not under- or over-cooked. Does this Spark an idea?

Press and hold the "Bake" button until a "0" appears on the display, which takes approximately four seconds.
