Temperature Adjustment - Kenmore 911. 41485 Owner's Manual

"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
oven thermometers. These
thermometers can vary by 20-40
degrees. 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.
