Oven Thermostat; Adjust The Oven Thermostat—Do It Yourself - Hotpoint RB525 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 inexpensive thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature
setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.
