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 thermostatyourself.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 (11–22 degrees in Canada).NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it will not affect broiling or self-cleaningtemperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.To Adjust the ThermostatTouch the BROIL HI/LO and BAKEpads at the same time for 3 secondsuntil the display shows SF.Touch the BAKE pad.

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.U.S. federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, onthe other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture andflavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containingat least 70% vegetable oil.ge.com (U.S.)Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself! www.GEAppliances.ca (Canada)
