"DO IT 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.
If 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, to check the TEMP
temperature setting of your new oven.
These thermometers can vary by 20-40 f'%. /'_
degrees. 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.

both the BAKE and
BROIL pads for 3
