How to know if oven is C or F? ›

If the temperature goes up to about 250, it's Celsius. If the temperature range goes up to about 500, it's either Fahrenheit, or you're looking at a kiln. Look at the highest number the dial goes up to. If it is around the 250 range, then the calibration is in Centigrade.
