Adjwtment
The temperature control in your
new ovenhas been carefullyadjusted
to provide accurate temperatures.
However, if this oven has replaced
one you haveusedfor severalyears,
youmay notice a difference in the
degree of browning or the length of
time required when using your
favoriterecipes. Oven temperature
controls have a tendency to “drifi”
over a period of years and since
this drift is very gradual, it is not
readily noticed. Therefore, you
may have become accustomed to
your previous oven which may
have provided a higher or lower
temperature than you selected.
Before attempting to have the
temperature of your new oven
changed, be sure you have followed
the baking time and temperature of
the recipe carefully. Then, after
you have usedthe ovena fewtimes
andyoufeelthe ovenis toohot
or too cool, thereis a simple
adjustmentyoucan makeyourself
on the OVENTEMP knob.
