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°F.
NOTE:
This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures (on some models). The adjustment
will be retained in memory after a power failure.

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 affects 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.
