Thermostat - GE PK916 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 vary20-40 degrees.
NOTE" This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; # does not affect broiling, convection or
self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

Thetype 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.
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 i)roducts labeled "illargalJne" to contnin at least 80% tilt
by
weight, ixmqht spreads, on the
other hand, contain less tilt and more water; The high-moisture content (ff these spreads afli_ct the texture and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with your old til\'orite recipes, use inargalJne, butter or stick spreads contnining at least
70% vegetable oil.
