This manual describes the operation, usage, and maintenance of KitchenAid built-in electric convection single and double ovens. These ovens are designed to provide a variety of cooking functions, including baking, roasting, broiling, and specialized convection modes, to enhance culinary results.
The KitchenAid built-in electric convection ovens offer a comprehensive range of cooking capabilities. The core functions include standard baking and roasting, where both the bake and broil elements cycle on and off to maintain the set oven temperature. For enhanced cooking, the ovens feature convection baking and roasting, which utilize a convection element and fan to circulate hot air, ensuring more even cooking and often reducing cook times. The convection fan operates continuously during these modes, and the bake and broil elements cycle as needed.
Broiling is available in two modes: Maxi Broiling, which uses both inner and outer broil elements for larger quantities of food, and Econo Broiling, which uses only the inner element for smaller portions. The broil elements cycle on and off to maintain temperature, and the oven door can be opened during broiling without immediately shutting off the elements, though they will turn off if the door is open for an extended period.
A unique feature is the Convect Full Meal mode, which provides eleven preset cooking cycles for various dishes, each with a predefined oven setting, temperature, and cook time or probe temperature. These presets can be customized and saved for future use. The Convection Temperature Conversion feature automatically adjusts standard recipe temperatures and times for convection cooking, grouping foods into categories like baked goods, meats, and other foods for optimal results.
The ovens also include specialized functions such as Dehydrating, which removes water from food for preservation, and Proofing Bread, which prepares dough for baking by activating yeast. Both functions utilize specific temperature ranges and rack positions to achieve desired outcomes.
For precise cooking, a Temperature Probe is available (for single and upper ovens only) to accurately measure the internal temperature of meat, poultry, and casseroles. This probe helps determine doneness and automatically shuts off the oven once the target temperature is reached.
The electronic oven control panel features a digital display that shows oven temperature, heat source, and start time. For double oven models, it indicates which oven is being set. During timed cooking, a vertical bar countdown and stop time are displayed. The control panel includes number pads for setting temperatures and times, as well as dedicated pads for various cooking modes like BAKE, BROIL, CLEAN, and CONVECTION BAKE/ROAST.
Safety features include a Control Lock to prevent unintended use, and a Sabbath Mode, which allows the oven to remain on in a bake setting for an extended period without tones or display changes, adhering to religious observances.
The KitchenAid ovens are designed for user-friendly operation. Before any cooking, proper positioning of racks and bakeware is crucial for even heat circulation. The manual provides detailed charts for recommended rack positions based on food type and bakeware material, emphasizing the importance of leaving adequate space around bakeware.
Setting the clock is a straightforward process, and the Timer function allows for setting countdowns without affecting oven operation. The tone volume can be adjusted, and various tones (pad press, end-of-cycle, reminder) can be turned off or on. The temperature display can be switched between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
For baking and roasting, users can select the desired oven, set the temperature, and start the function. Convection baking and roasting follow a similar process, with the added benefit of reduced recipe temperatures for optimal results. Broiling offers Maxi and Econo options, allowing users to choose based on the quantity of food. The manual advises using the provided broiler pan and grid to prevent spatter and smoke.
The Convect Full Meal mode simplifies cooking by offering preset cycles, but also allows for customization of oven settings, temperatures, and cook times. The Convection Temperature Conversion feature automatically adjusts settings, prompting a food check at the end of the cook time for non-delayed cooking.
Dehydrating and Proofing Bread modes require specific rack setups and temperature ranges. For dehydrating, an oven door stop (not supplied) is needed to maintain proper ventilation. Proofing bread involves placing a bowl of dough and boiling water in the oven to create a suitable environment for rising.
The Temperature Probe, when used, is inserted into the food and plugged into a dedicated jack, allowing the oven to monitor and control the internal temperature, ensuring food is cooked to perfection.
Timed Cooking allows users to set a specific cook time or delay the start of a cooking cycle, providing flexibility for meal preparation. The oven automatically turns on and off at the programmed times.
Maintaining the KitchenAid oven involves regular cleaning and care to ensure longevity and optimal performance. The primary cleaning method for the oven cavity is the Self-Cleaning cycle. Before initiating this cycle, users must remove all racks, cookware, and foil from the oven. The manual warns against using commercial oven cleaners or lining the oven bottom with foil, as these can cause permanent damage.
The Self-Cleaning cycle operates at very high temperatures, burning soil to a powdery ash, which can then be wiped away with a damp cloth once the oven has cooled. The cycle duration can be adjusted based on the soil level. During self-cleaning, the oven door automatically locks, and the oven lights will not function. For double oven models, only one oven can self-clean at a time.
For external surfaces, such as the stainless steel panels, control panel, and oven door exterior, specific cleaning instructions are provided. Stainless steel should be cleaned in the direction of the grain using recommended cleaners or liquid detergent, avoiding abrasive materials. Glass cleaner is suggested for the control panel and oven door exterior.
Oven racks, which may discolor and become harder to slide after self-cleaning, can be lightly coated with vegetable oil on their guides to restore smooth operation. The broiler pan and grid should not be cleaned in the self-cleaning cycle but can be cleaned with mild abrasive cleansers, ammonia solutions, or oven cleaner.
The oven lights use 12-volt, 5-watt halogen bulbs, which can be replaced by disconnecting power, removing the glass light cover, and swapping the bulb.
The oven door can be removed for cleaning or service, though it is heavy and requires careful handling. Removal involves opening the door fully, inserting removal pins into the hinge hangers, and then closing the door partially to lift it out. Reinstallation is the reverse process, ensuring the hinge arms are fully engaged.
The manual also includes a troubleshooting section to help users diagnose and resolve common issues, such as the oven not operating, unexpected cooking results, or display messages, before calling for service. This empowers users to address minor problems independently, contributing to the overall ease of maintenance and use of the KitchenAid built-in electric convection ovens.
