Adjust the oven thermostat--Do it yourself!
Youmay 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.
Donot use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary20-40 degrees.
NOTE,"Thisadjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; # does not affect broiling, convection or

Thetypeofmargarine will affect bakingperformance!
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. Thelower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards reqtlire l)rodtl('ts labeled "margarh_e" to contain at least 80% tilt by weight. Ixmqht spreads, on the
other hand, contain less tilt and more water The high-moisture content ot these spreads affect the texture and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with your old filvorhe redpes, use mmgarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.

Both the broiler pan and grid can also be
cleaned in a dishwasher;
Do not store a soi/edbroi/erpanandgrid
