Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!

You may 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.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

The type of margarine will affect

 

baking performance!

 

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. The

 

lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

 

Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by

 

weight. Low fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high

 

moisture content of these spreads affect the texture and flavor of baked goods. For

 

best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads

 

containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
