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 vary20-40 degrees.
NOTE:
This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it does not affect broiling, convection or
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 candles are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal sfcmdards require products labeled “maigarine" to contain at least 80% fat by weight, f.ow-fat spreads, on the
other hand, confciin less fat and more water. The high-moisture content of these sjrreads affect the texture and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with )'our old favoiite recipes, use mai garine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.
