COOKING RESULTS

|
|
Cooking results are | •The oven temperature seems too low or too high. See “Adjusting the oven |
not what you expected | temperature control” on page 13 to adjust the oven temperature. |
| •You did not preheat the oven before baking (if called for in the recipe). |
| •The recipe you are using may need to be altered to improve the taste or |
| appearance of the food. |
| •You are using a pan that is not the correct type or size. Refer to a reliable |
| cookbook or recipe for the recommended pan type and size. |
| •There is not enough air space around the pan when baking. Allow 11⁄2 to 2 |
| inches of air space on all sides of the pan. |
| •The cookware is too large or too small for the surface unit being used. |
| The pan should be the same size or slightly larger than the surface unit |
| being used. |
| •The range is not level. (See the Installation Instructions.) |
