Temperature Adjustment - Kenmore 911.41885 Series Use & Care Manual

"DOIT YOURSELF"
TEMPERATURE
ADJUSTMENT
You may feel that your new oven
cooks differently than the oven it
replaced We recommend that you
use your new oven a few weeks to
become more familiar with it,
following the times given in your
recipes as a guide
tf you think your new oven is too hot
(burning foods) or not hot enough
(foods are undercooked), you can
adjust the temperature yourself
The appearance and texture of foods
is a better indicator of oven accuracy
than oven thermometers, These
thermometers can vary by 20-40
degrees from the true temperature
of the oven In addition, the oven
door must be opened to read these
thermometers Opening the door will
change the temperature of the oven,
To decide how much to change
the temperature, set the oven
temperature 25 degrees higher
(if foods are undercooked) or
25 degrees lower (if foods are
burning) than the temperature in your
recipe, then bake The results of this
"test" should give you an idea of how
much the temperature should be
changed
