KitchenAid KCO222 Kitchenaid Countertop Oven Care, Choosing Bakeware for Countertop Oven Use

Choosing Bakeware for Countertop Oven Use:

■The broil pan included with the oven is suitable for items such as cookies, rolls, biscuits, nachos and pork chops.

■A variety of standard baking dishes, such as a 9" (22.9 cm) round or square cake pan, a 6 cup (1.5 L) muffin pan, small baking sheets, and 1 and 2 qt (0.95 mL and 1.9 L) round, square and rectangular casserole dishes, may be used. The oven door must close completely.

■Choose bakeware made of metal, oven- safe glass, ceramic or silicone.

■Use lowest oven rack position when using deep, oven-safe glass or ceramic containers and allow at least 1" (2.5 cm) airspace between the top of the container and the upper cooking elements.

■Do not use glass lids. If a cover is desired, use a loosely fitted sheet of aluminum foil shiny side up or down.

■Many convenience foods are packaged in nonmetallic containers suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check package directions to determine whether the container is suitable for use in a regular oven.

Cleaning Your Countertop Oven

■Make sure the Time control knob is in the 0 (off) position. Then, unplug from the wall socket before cleaning.

■Allow oven and accessories to cool completely before cleaning.

■Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads. They could scratch the surface.

■Wipe the outside of the oven with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. A nonabrasive liquid cleaner may be used for stubborn stains. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

■Hand washing is recommended for racks and pan. Remove all items from the countertop oven. Wash the rack, broil pan, and grill in hot, sudsy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. To clean the crumb tray, slide it out of the oven and brush off crumbs. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

NOTE: The oven rack, broil pan and grill are dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended.

■To remove baked-on stains, scrub with a paste made from baking soda and water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

■The walls on the inside of the oven have a nonstick coating for easy cleaning. Remove heavy spatter after use with a nylon or polyester mesh pad, sponge or cloth dampened with warm water. Dry with a paper towel or soft, dry cloth.

IMPORTANT: Do not use cleaning agents, cleansers or metal scouring pads on the inner oven coating as they may reduce its effectiveness.
