The temperature control inyour
newovenhasbeen carefullyadjusted
to provideaccurate temperatures.
However,if this ovenhas replaced
oneyou
haveusedforseveralyears,
youmay
noticea difference in the
degree ofbrowningor the length of
time required when usingyour
favoriterecipes. Oven temperature
controls havea tendencyto “drifi”
overa period of years and since
thisdrift is very gradual, itisnot
readily noticed. Therefore, you
may havebecome accustomed to
yourprevious ovenwhich may
haveprovideda higher or lower
temperature than you selected.
Beforeattempting to havethe
