Positioning racks and pans

Place the oven racks where you need them before turning on the oven.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge and lift it out.

Be sure the rack(s) is level.

Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your hands if rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot.

For best performance, cook on one rack. Place the rack

so the top of the food will be centered in the oven.

To use two racks during Convection Bake, place the racks on the 2nd and 4th rack guides.

When baking on two or three racks, use the CONVECT BAKE setting for more even results. (You can also use only one rack when convection baking.)

To use three racks during convection baking, place one rack in position 5 (the highest position), another rack in position 1 (the closest to the oven bottom), and the third rack in position 3. This allows all three racks to be an equal distance apart for better baking.

For best results allow 2 inches (5 cm) of space around each pan and between pans and oven walls. Hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This results in better baking.

One of the key features of the KDRP407H is its dual-fuel capability, which combines the best of both worlds: a gas cooktop and an electric oven.

The burners come with various power options, giving users versatile cooking choices, from simmering delicate sauces to achieving a quick boil.

Another standout technology incorporated into the KDRP407H is the Even-Heat True Convection. This system enhances airflow within the oven to ensure consistent cooking temperatures and even baking results. Ideal for baking multiple trays of cookies or pastries, this convection feature significantly reduces the chances of uneven cooking.

The KitchenAid KDRP407H also emphasizes ease of use and cleaning. The oven includes a self-cleaning feature, which utilizes high-temperature steam to break down food deposits, making maintenance a breeze. The durable stainless steel construction not only provides a sleek look but is designed to resist smudges and fingerprints, keeping your kitchen looking pristine.

Additional characteristics include a 7-inch LCD display that provides intuitive controls for setting timers, adjusting temperatures, and selecting cooking modes. The range is equipped with a powerful grill function, allowing users to achieve a char-grilled flavor in the comfort of their kitchen.
