KitchenAid W10722059B warranty Oven, Aluminum Foil, Positioning Racks and Bakeware

OVEN

Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times or when it is heavily soiled.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off by the oven. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-ventilated room.

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.

For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.

Positioning Racks and Bakeware

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.

Bakeware

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2"

(5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another.

Racks

■Position racks before turning on the oven.

■Do not position racks with bakeware on them.

■Make sure racks are level.

To position a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a guide.

The oven has 7 positions for a flat rack, as shown in the previous illustration and the following table.

Flat Rack Position*	Type of Food
7	Broiling/searing meats, hamburgers,
	steaks
6	Broiled meats, poultry, fish
3 or 4	Most baked goods, casseroles, frozen
	foods
2	Roasted meats
1	Large roasts or poultry

For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare interior, use a flat rack in rack position 7. Side 1 should cook for approximately 2½ to 3½ minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.

*If your model has a Max Capacity Oven Rack, the recessed ends must be placed in the rack position above the desired position of the food. See the following illustration.

IMPORTANT: These rack positions are for flat racks. If a Max Capacity Oven Rack is used, the rack position must be adjusted as shown in the previous figure.

Multiple Rack Cooking

2-rack (non-convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6.

2-rack (convection): Use rack positions 2 and 5 or 3 and 6.

3-rack (convection): Use rack positions 2 and 7 and a Max Capacity Oven Rack in rack position 5.

Baking Cookies and Layer Cakes on 2 Racks

Baking Layer Cakes

For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use the Bake function, a flat rack in rack position 3 and a roll-out rack in rack position 5. Place the cakes on the racks as shown. Keep at least 3" (7.6 cm) of space between the front of the racks and the front cakes.

Baking Cookies

For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, use the Convection Bake function, a flat rack in rack position 3 and a roll- out rack in rack position 4.
