Temperatures often vary between a new oven and an old one. As ovens age, the oven
temperature often “drifts” and may become hotter or cooler. See page 8 for instructions
on adjusting the oven temperature.
NOTE: It is not recommended to adjust the temperature if only one or two recipes are
in question.
