Adjust the oven thermostat--Easy to do yourself! www.AmericanaAppliances.
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_O°F.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures (on some models). The adjustment
will be retained in memory after a power failure.

Thetype of margarinewi// affectbakingperformance!
Most recipes for baking have been
developed using high fat products such
as butter or margarine (80% fat). If y/ou
decrease the fat, the recipe may/not
give the same results as with a higher
fat product.
Recipefai/ura can result if cakes,pies, pastries,
cookiesor candiesare made with low fat spreads.
Thelower the fat content of a spreadproduct, the
more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled
"margarine"
to contain
at least 80% fht by
weight. Low-flit spreads, on tile other hand,
contain less tilt and more water: Tile high
moistme content of these spreads affects
tile texture and flavor of baked goods. For
best results with your old fi_vorite redpes,
use maigarine, butter or stick spreads
containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
