Thermostat - GE JSS16 Owner's Manual

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.

Thetype of margarine will affect bakingperformance!
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" m contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the
other hand, contain less fat and more wateL The high moisture conmnt of these spreads affects the mxtme and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at legist
70% vegetable oil.
