Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if' the recipe calls for it.
To l)reheat, set the oven at the correct
teinl)erature. Preheating is necessai wfor
good results when baking cakes, cookies,
pastI T and breads.
Forovenswithout apreheat indicator light or
tone,preheat 10minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the ()veil as nmch as
possible. Pans should not touch each
other or the walls of the oven. If you
need to use two shelves, stagger the pans
so one is not directly above tile othei;
and leave apl)roxiinately 1½" between
pans, fl'oni the fl'ont, back and sides of
the wall.
Cut slits in flTefoiljust like flTegrid.
Aluminum Foil
You can use ahuninuin flfil to line the
broiler pan and broiler gild. Howevei;
vou Inust inold the fi)il tightly to the grid
and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Aluminum foil mayalso be used tocatcha
spillover
Never entirely cover a shelf with
ahmlinuin fifil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
A sinaller sheet ot toil niav be used to
catch a spillover by plating it on a lower
shelf several inches below the toed.

Adjustthe oventhermostat--Do it yourself!
Youmay 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; #does not affect the broiling temperature.
The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

Thetype ofmargarine will affect bakingperformance!
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 candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards reqtlire pro(hl('ts labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% tilt by weight, ix)w tilt spreads, on the
other hand, contain less tilt and more water Tile high moisture content ot these spreads affects the texture and flavor
of baked goods. For best results with u)ur old til\'o_ite redpes, use mmgarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.
