Adjusting Oven
Temperature
The temperature in the oven has been set at the factory. When first using the oven,
be sure to follow recipe times and temperatures. If you think the oven is too hot
or too cool, the temperature in the oven can be adjusted. Before adjusting, test a
recipe by using a temperature
setting
that
is higher or lower
than the
recommended temperature. The baking results should help you to decide how
much of an adjustment is needed.
