"DO IT YOURSELF"TEMPERATUREADJUSTMENT
You may feel that your new oven cooks
differently than the oven it replaced. We recommend that you use your new oven afe w
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 (burning
foods) or not hot enough (foods are undercooked) you can adjust the temperature yourself. Theappearanceandtextureoffoods
is a better indicator of oven accuracy than an inexpensive thermometer, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature
settingofyournewoven. Thesethermometers
can vary by
thermometers. Opening the door will change the temperature of the oven.
To decide how much to change the
temperature, set the oven temperature 25 degrees higher (if foods are undercooked) or 25 degrees lower (if foods are burning) than the temperature in your recipe, then bake. The results of this "test" should give you an idea of how much the temperature should be changed.
1o Make sure the oven control knob is in the OFF position. Remove the knob by pulling it straight off.
2, Look at the back of the knob. The pointer in the center indicates the original temperature setting.
