My new oven doesn't
cook like my old one.
Is something wrong
with the temperature
settings? Your new oven has a different
cooking system from your old oven
and therefore may cook differently
than your old oven. For the first few uses, follow your recipe times
and temperatures carefully. If you still think your
new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the
temperature yourself to meet your specific cooking
preference. NOTE:
