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
temperatures; it will not affect Broil or Clean.
Food does not bake
properly Oven controls improperly set. See the Cooking Modes section.
Rack position is incorrect or rack is not level. See the Cooking Modes section and Cooking
Guide.
Incorrect cookware or cookware of improper
size being used. See the Cookware section.
Oven temperature needs adjustment. See the Special Features section.
Ingredient substitution Substituting ingredients can change the recipe
outcome.
