Adjusting Oven Thermostat
Use time given on recipe when
cooking for first time. Oven
thermostats may “drift” from the

5 to 10-minute differences in timing
between an old and a new oven are
not unusual. Your oven has been set
correctly at the factory and is more
apt to be accurate than the oven
which it
replaced. However, if
you
find that

may make a simple adjustment in
the OVEN TEMP thermostat knob.
