NOTE:Foods that spoil easily-such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork-should not be allowed to sit for more than 1hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure that the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth. The low temperature zone of this range (between 170°F.and 200°F.)is available to keep hot cooked foods warm. Food kept in the oven longer than 2 hours at these low temperatures may spoil.

it yourself! 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. Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees. NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure. To Adjust the Thermostat E_] Press the BAKEand BROILHI/LOpads at the stone time fbr 3 seconds until the display shows SE [] Press the BAKEpad. A two digit numt)er shows in die display.

Use your oven as you would nonnally. 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. Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become. Federal standards require products labeled "lnargarine" to contain at least 80% f_ttby weight. Low fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less f_ttand more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old fm_orite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil. 19
