KitchenAid KESS907SWW, KESS908SPS manual EasyConvect Conversion, Convection Bake, Convection Roast

■Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the minimum cooking time with a method such as using a toothpick.

WARNING

Burn Hazard

Use an oven mitt to remove temperature probe. Do not touch broil element.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

■Use a meat thermometer or the temperature probe (on some models) to determine the doneness of meats and poultry.

EasyConvect™ Conversion

(on some models)

Convection cooking temperatures and times can differ from those of standard cooking. Depending upon the selected category, EasyConvect™ conversion automatically may reduce the standard recipe temperature and/or time you input for convection cooking.

Foods are grouped into 3 general categories. Choose the category most appropriate for the food to be cooked. To ensure optimal cooking results, the oven will prompt a food check at the end of a non-delayed cook time. Use the following chart as a guide.

SETTING	FOODS
MEATS	Baked potatoes, Chicken: whole and pieces
	Meat loaf, Roasts: pork, beef and ham
	(Turkey and large poultry are not included
	because their cook time varies.)
BAKED	Biscuits, Breads: quick and yeast
GOODS	Cakes and Cookies
	Casseroles: including frozen entrées and
	soufflés
	Fish
OTHER	Convenience foods: french fries, nuggets, fish
FOODS	sticks, pizza
	Pies: fruit and custard

To Use:

When using convection temperature conversion for BAKED GOODS and OTHER FOODS, allow the oven to preheat before placing food in the oven.

1.Press MEATS, BAKED GOODS or OTHER FOODS.

2.Press number pads to enter standard cook temperature.

3.Press number pads to enter standard cook time.

4.Press START.

“CHECK FOOD AT” and the stop time will appear on the oven display, after preheating is complete.

When the stop time is reached, end-of-cycle tones will sound if enabled. Open the door and check food.

5.Press OFF when finished cooking.

Convection Bake

(on some models)

Convection Bake can be used to bake and cook foods on single or multiple racks. It is helpful to stagger items on the racks to allow a more even flow of heat. If the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.

When cooking an oven meal with several different types of foods, be sure to select recipes that require similar temperatures. Cookware should sit in the oven with at least 1" (2.5 cm) of space between the cookware and the sides of the oven.

Allow the range to preheat before placing food in the oven.

During convection baking preheat, the broil elements and the bake element all heat the oven cavity. After preheat, the convection element will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.

If the oven door is opened during convection baking or preheating, the convection element and fan will turn off immediately. They will come back on once the door is closed.

■Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may need to be reduced also.

To Convection Bake:

Before convection baking, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

1.Press CONVECT BAKE.

Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than 325°F (163°C). The convection bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).

2.Press START.

“Preheating” will show in the display until the set temperature is reached.

“Lo” will also appear in the display if the actual oven temperature is under 170°F (77°C).

When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the oven display will show the oven temperature increasing in 1-degree increments.

When the set temperature is reached, if on, 1 tone will sound.

3.Press OFF when finished cooking.

Convection Roast

(on some models)

Convection Roast can be used to roast meat and poultry, and bake foods, such as yeast breads, pies, loaf, bundt and tube cakes on a single rack. During convection roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.

If the oven door is opened during convection roasting, the broil element and convection fan will turn off immediately and the bake element will turn off within 2 minutes. They will come back on once the door is closed.

■Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may need to be reduced also.

To Convection Roast:

Before convection roasting, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.

Use the roasting rack on top of the broiler pan and grid. This holds the food above the grid and allows air to circulate completely around all surfaces.
