Adjusting the oven temperature calibration on your Hotpoint wall oven microwave combo
Over time, the temperature setting on your oven can drift away from the factory setting. Then you'll find that your oven consistently bakes or roasts food faster or slower than the time specified in the recipe. Fortunately, you can recalibrate your oven to get it closer to the original setting.
Press the BAKE button just until the temperature displays the current offset setting—usually 0 or 00, unless you recalibrated the oven previously. Use the arrow keys to increase or decrease the offset to calibrate the oven to detect the proper temperature. Press the BAKE button to save the calibration setting.
Repairing arc burn marks inside the microwave cavity of your Hotpoint wall oven microwave combo
- For microwaves that are not stainless steel on the inside, you can repair arc marks up to the size of a quarter using this touch-up paint, but only if the marks appear on the inside walls, the floor, or the ceiling. Don't attempt repairs on the outer frame, or the door. Any repairs to the door or frame could affect the shielding and cause radiation leaks. And don’t attempt repairs on burn marks larger than a quarter, as that could be a sign of a more serious problem and should be checked out by a service technician. Also, don't use this repair on microwaves with a stainless steel the inside, because the paint won’t stick.
- Clean the area using soapy water and dry the spot thoroughly.
- Sand the burnt spot down to bare metal using a fine grit sand paper. Wipe the area clean to remove any residue.
- Apply a thin coat of microwave cavity touch up paint. Wait for 5 minutes to allow the first coat of paint to dry. Reapply a second coat of microwave cavity touch-up paint. Be sure to wait 24 hours for the paint to dry before using your microwave.
