The temperature in the oven has been set at the factory. When first using the oven, be sure
to follow recipe times and temperatures. If you think the oven is too hot or too cool, the
temperature in the oven can be adjusted. Before adjusting, test a recipe by using a higher
or lower temperature than the recommended temperature. The baking results should help
you to decide how much of an adjustment is needed.
