My new oven doesn't
cook like my old one.
Is something wrong
with the temperature
settings?
Your new oven has a different cooking
system from your old oven and therefore
may cook differently than your old oven.
For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperatures
carefully. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you
can adjust the temperature yourself to meet your specific cooking
preference.
NOTE:
This adjustment affects Bake, and Convection
