COOKING MODES GUIDE

Your Countertop Oven features 9 cooking modes specially designed for a variety of cooking tasks. Each uses the KitchenAid® Even-Heat™ system to control a combination of elements, applying heat where it’s needed for optimal results. Memory settings allow you to customize

the time and temperature in each mode to fit your specific needs. The Countertop Oven will remember all your settings for the next use (until unplugged). The additional Convection and Frozen functions (available on certain cooking modes) allow you to take countertop cooking to a whole new level.
