Problem Possible Cause What To Do
My new oven doesn't
cook like my old one.
Is something wrong
with the temperature
settings? Your new oven has a different cooking
system from your old oven and therefore may
cook differently than your old oven. For the first few uses, follow your recipe
times and temperatures carefully. If you
still think your new oven is too hot or
too cold, you can adjust the temperature
yourself to meet your specific cooking
preference.

"click" on and off more frequently than in
older ovens to achieve better results during
baking, broiling, and self-clean cycles. This is normal.
