General Oven Tips

Condensation

The oven vent is located above the oven door. It is normal to see steam escaping from the vent and condensation may collect on areas above the vent such as the display.

Temperature Sensor

Your new oven has an electronic temperature sensor that accurately maintains the temperature selected. Your previous oven may have had a mechanical thermostat that drifted gradually to a higher temperature. As a result, you may need to adjust your favorite recipes when cooking in your new oven.

High Altitude Baking

When cooking at high altitude, recipes and cooking time will vary from the standard. For accurate information, write the Extension Service, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521. There may be a charge for the bulletins.

CAUTION

Many factors affect cooking performance.

Always check food for doneness before serving
