Oven Thermostat - GE JKP27 Owner's Manual

Adjust the oven thermostat--Do it yourself!
Youmay 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_40 degrees.

Thetype of margarine will affect baking performanc!!
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 s/and_uds reqtme products labeled "mmgarine" to contain at least 80% tat by weight. I.ow tilt spreads, on the
other hand, contain less tilt and more water. The high moisture conmnt of these spreads affect the texture and flavor of
baked goods. For best resuhs with y{nn old tiworite redpes, use mmgarine, 1)utter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.
