"DO-IT-YOURSELF"
TEMPERATURE
ADJUSTMENT
You may feel that your new oven
cooks differently
than the oven it
replaced.
We recommend
that you
use your new oven a few weeks to
become
more familiar
with it,
following
the times given in your
recipes
as a guide.
If you think your new oven is too hot
(burning
foods) or not hot enough
(foods are undercooked),
you can
adjust the temperature
yourself. The
appearance
and texture of foods is a
better indicator of oven accuracy than
an oven thermometer.
These
thermometers
can vary by 20-40
degrees
from the true temperature
of
the oven. In addition,
the oven door
must be opened
to read these
thermometers.
Opening the door will
change the temperature
of the oven.
To decide
how much to change
the temperature,
set the oven
temperature
25 degrees
higher
(if foods are undercooked)
or
25 degrees
lower (if foods are
burning)
than the temperature
in your
recipe, then bake. The results of this
"test" should give you an idea of how
much the temperature
should be
changed.
