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 temperatures. The adjustment will be retained after a power failure.
Adjust the oven thermostat—Easy to do yourself!
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.
Pull the Oven Temp knob off the
