GE JBS26P How to Set Immediate Start and Automatic Stop, How to Set Your Range for Baking

Baking

When cooking a food for the first time in your new oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven thermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” from the factory setting and a difference in timing between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes is not unusual. You may be inclined to think that the new oven is not performing correctly. However, your new oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more apt to be accurate than the oven it replaced.
