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.

To Adjust the Thermostat

Pull the OVEN TEMP knob off the shaft, look at the back of the knob and note the current setting before making any adjustment. The knob is factory set with the top screw directly under the pointer.

or cooler.

Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating

The lower screw moves toward HOTTER to increase the temperature.

The lower screw moves toward COOLER to decrease the temperature.

Hold both parts of the knob as shown in the illustration of the back of the OVEN TEMP knob and turn so the lower screw moves in the desired direction. You will hear and feel the notches as you turn the knob. Each notch changes temperature about 10° Fahrenheit.

Tighten the screws.

Return the OVEN TEMP knob to the oven.

Re-check oven performance before making any additional adjustments.

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 affects 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.
