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 not affect the broiling temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after

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 ahigher-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 require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% tilt by weight. IxmqiK spreads,
on the other hand, contain less lilt and more water. The high moistm'e content of these spreads affects the
textm'e and flavor of baked goods. For best results with w)m" old filvorite redpes, use mmgarine, butter or
stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
