Adjust the oven thermostat--Easy
to do 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°E
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling temperatures. The adjustment will be retained 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.
Recipefailure can result if cakes,pies, pastries,
cookiesor candies are made with low-fat
spreads.The lower the fat content of a spread
product, the more noticeable these differences
become.
Federalstandards 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.
