BAKING
(continued)
Aluminum Foil
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result
in poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.
Don>t Peek
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes provide minimum and maximum baking times such as “bake 3040 minutes.”
DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum time. Opening the oven door frequently during cooking allows heat to escape and makes baking times longer. Your baking results may also be affected.
ADJUST THE OVEN THEmOSTAT—DO ZT YOURSELF!
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. We recommend that you use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it, following the times given in your recipes as a guide.
If you think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself. If you think it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler.
If you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make it hotter.
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your new oven. These thermometers may vary 2040 degrees.
