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 vary 20–40 degrees.

NOTE:

This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be 

retained in memory after a power failure.

The type 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 products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, 
on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the 
texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or 
stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
