I've been suspicious that both ovens in my Neff U1661 are no longer getting to the set
temperature so have just checked with an oven thermometer - it shows 20-30 degrees
colder than the setting in each oven. I'm going to try the thermometer in another oven
ASAP but I suspect it's telling the truth because we've had some under-cooked things
recently.
Are there any calibration adjustments on the temperature controls?
Any suggestions on what to check?

(I've asked this on UKwhitegoods too)

Workaround:

Candlewax melts at around 45%C 113%F. Allegedly.

Put a (bit of) candle in used tin, stick it in the oven set the
oven to 45% give it a few minutes - this may be relevant - and
see if it melts.

If it doesn't increase the oven setting by small increments until
it does.

Make a note of this difference and try increasing the setting by
this amount every time you use the oven. Or you could calculate the
difference as a percentage of the original setting and increase the
setting by this percentage.

I see no reason why this shouldn't work until you get near the maximium
possible setting.

The oven will probably need to be ventilated in some way afterwards
to get rid of the smell of the melted wax

This will give your oven "character", personalise it, and means that
were any thieves foolish enough to steal your oven, they'd suffer
from undercooked food for their pains.

Providing that is, that you keep the piece of paper on which you've noted
the adjustment figure on a separate piece of paper, rather than sticking
a label on the oven itself.
