Use your new oven for a few weeks tobecome 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 temperature.To Adjust the ThermostatPull the OVEN CONTROL knob off therange and look at the back side.To make an adjustment, loosen(approximately one turn), but do notcompletely remove, the two screws onthe back of the knob.With the back of the knob facing you,hold the outer edge of the knob withone hand and turn the front of theknob with the other hand.To raise the oven temperature, move thetop screw toward the right. You’ll heara click for each notch you move theknob.To lower the temperature, move the topscrew toward the left.Each click will change the oventemperature approximately 10°F.(Range is plus or minus 60°F from thearrow.) We suggest that you make theadjustment one click from the originalsetting and check oven performancebefore making any additionaladjustments.After the adjustment is made, retightenscrews so they are snug, but be carefulnot to overtighten.Re-install knob on range and checkperformance.Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If youdecrease 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 fatcontent 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 theother hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavorof baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least70% vegetable oil.The type of margarine will affect baking performance!Appearance may vary.
