oven temperature. See "Adjusting the oven temperature" in

It is possible to experience some odors and/or a small amount
of smoke from a new range. The odor will diminish after first
using the oven. Before cooking for the first time, turn the oven
ON to 400°F for 30 minutes to one hour. This will allow for an
initial burn-in period and help eliminate odors. If necessary,
ventilate the kitchen by opening a window.
This is normal while the oven heats to temperature or cools
down.

This is normal. To ensure the best possible results, do not
block the oven vent area when cooking.
See Setting Oven Controls section and review instructions
for the desired cooking function.
Clear any cookware or items that is blocking the oven vent
area.

temperature or cook time to prevent overbrowning. Dark pans
are recommended for pies; shiny pans for cakes, cookies and
muffins.
Try preheating the oven before placing food on oven rack.
Adjust oven rack position upward or downward as needed.
Try centering food in oven for single items. When cooking
multiple food items space cookware to allow air to circulate
completely around the food items. Review section for
"Aluminum foil and liners" in the Care & Cleaning section.
Try adjusting the recipe's recommended temperature or
cooking time. If you still feel the oven is too hot or cool, try
offsetting the oven temperature. See "Adjusting the oven
temperature" in Setting Oven Controls section.
