Aluminum cookwme conducts heat t_}ster
than other metals. Cast-iron and coated
cast-iron cookwzue are slow to absorb heat,
but generally cook evenly at h)w to medium
heat settings. Smel pans m W cook unevenly
if not combined xdth other metals.
For best (:{}{}kingresults, pans shouM be

Adjustthe oventhermostat--Easy todoyourself! .CEA,p,ances.ce,n
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.
Donot use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These
thermometers may vary 20-40°F.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures (on some models). 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.

Federal standmds require pro&acts labeled
"mmgarine" to contain at least 80% tat by
wright. I,ox_qht spreads, on the other hand,
contain less tht and more water. The high
moisture content of these spreads affects
the texture and flavor of baked goods. For
best resuhs with your old tm-orite recipes,
use inargarine, butter or stick spreads
containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
