The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the
other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affect the texture and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few
weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the
thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.
To Adjust the Thermostat
Pull the
OVEN TEMP
knob off the shaft,
look at the back of the knob and note the
current setting before making any
adjustment. The knob is factory set with
the top screw directly under the pointer.
Pull off the
OVEN TEMP
knob.
Loosen both screws on back of
the knob.
Hold both parts of the knob as
shown in the illustration of the back
of the
OVEN TEMP
knob and turn so
the lower screw moves in the desired
direction. You will hear and feel the
notches as you turn the knob. Each
notch changes temperature about
10° Fahrenheit.
Tighten the screws.
Return the
OVEN TEMP
knob to the
oven.
Re-check oven performance before making any
additional adjustments.
