"DO-IT-YOURSELF" TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENTS
You may feel that your new oven cooks differently then
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.
Ifyou think your new oven Is too hot (burning foods) or
not hot enough (foods are under-cooked) you can adjust
the temperature yourself. The appearance and texture
of foods are better Indicators of oven accuracy than
Inexpensive oven thermometers, such as those found In
the grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of
your new oven. Those thermometers can vary by 20-
40°F. In addition, the oven door must be opened to read
these thermometers. Opening the dour will change the
temperature of the oven.
To decide how much to change the temperature, set the
oven temperature 25°F lower (If foods are burning) than
the temperature In your recipe, then bake. The result of
this "test" should give you an Idea of how much the
temperature should be changed.
TO MAKE THE TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT:
1. Make sure the oven control knob Is in the OFF
position. Remove the knob by pulling It straight off.
2. Look at the back of the knob. The pointer In the
center Indlcates the orlglnal temperature settlng.
4. To make your oven temperature HOTTER, hold the
knob by the handle end tum the knob skirt so the top
screw moves toward the word hotter. As you turn the
skirt you will hear clicks end feel notches or teeth.
Each click or notch will adjust the temperature 15°F
hotter.
