That is therein reason that I returned this toaster oven. I even called GE's customer service, and she told me that you can only use the settings that were set by the manufacturer. She also said that I would have to figure out if my oven ran "hot" or "cold" and then I could select the closest temperature to cook my food--how horrible.

320 or 330 degrees. 
370 or 380 degrees. 
It doesn't make any difference. Essentially NO oven has a precise temperature the whole time it is being used. A thermostat works when the temperature drops below the setting and the heating turns on and vice versa. 5 degrees either way doesn't change how well any oven works.
