BAKING RESULTS ARE NOT
WHAT YOU EXPECTED.
➢
Check the oven temperature selected.
Make sure oven is preheated when
recipe or directions recommend pre-
heat.
➢
Check rack positions. See page 9.
➢
Use correct pan. Dark pans produce
dark browning. Shiny pans produce
light browning. See “Cooking Made
Simple” booklet for more information
on bakeware.
➢
Check the use of foil in the oven. Nev-
er use foil to cover an entire oven rack.
Place a small piece of foil on the rack
below the pan to catch spillovers.
➢
Check pan placement. Stagger pans
when using two racks. Allow 1–2 inch-
es between pans and oven walls.
➢
Make sure the oven vent has not been
blocked. See page 8 for location.
➢
Check to make sure range is level.
BAKING RESULTS DIFFER FROM
PREVIOUS OVEN.
➢
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.
FOOD NOT BROILING PROPERLY.
➢
Check oven setting. See page 10.
➢
Check rack positions. See page 9.
➢
Aluminum foil was incorrectly used.
Never line the broiler pan insert with
foil.
