# Asko oven temperature calibration

### Accuracy and evenness are not the same complaint

An oven a few degrees out and an oven perfectly accurate at its own sensor while being wildly uneven inside both arrive as food that comes out wrong, and no amount of calibration fixes the second. So the cavity is mapped with a probe at several positions through a full preheat and hold before anything is adjusted. A door seal that has taken a set is the commonest cause of uneven by a distance, and it is cheap; an offset applied to an uneven oven moves the problem around rather than solving any of it.

What this involves

Accuracy and evenness are different problems with different repairs

Measured with an independent probe at several points, not at one

A door seal that has set is the commonest cause of uneven, not the sensor

Map the cavity

Probe readings at several positions through a full preheat and hold, so unevenness is distinguished from inaccuracy before anything is adjusted.

Check the door and the fan

Seal along its whole length, hinge closure and the convection fan's behavior. Heat leaving at one corner shows as an oven that browns on one side.

Adjust and prove it

Offset set where the platform allows it, then the map repeated so the correction is demonstrated rather than claimed.

### Can you just set it a bit hotter?

Only once the map shows the cavity is even. Otherwise the correction helps one shelf and makes another worse, and the oven ends up further from right than it started.

### Is it worth doing on a European oven in an American kitchen?

Frequently, and sometimes the answer is that the oven is correct and the habits around it changed — different trays, different rack positions. We say so when that is what the map shows rather than adjusting a machine that is right.
