Oven Use - KitchenAid KGRS505X Use & Care Manual

OVEN USE
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times, or when it is heavily soiled.
Preheat is recommended for cooking most foods. Food should
be placed in the oven when the preheat beep occurs. Some
modes use elaborate cycling to achieve best performance. If the
oven temperature is increased after the oven is preheated, make
sure the oven is preheated to the new temperature before food is
put into the oven. If food is in the oven during preheat, it may
become overcooked.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to
certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-
ventilated room.
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liner or
cookware.
• For best cooking results, do not cover entire rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.
• To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least 1/2"(1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned
up at the edges.
To Replace Oven Racks:
Flat Rack: Place rack on the rack support in the oven. Tilt the
front edge up slightly, and slide rack back until it clears the stop
position. Lower front and slide back into the oven.

• Make sure racks are level.
• The upper oven is equipped with 1 flat rack.
• The lower oven is equipped with 1 flat rack and 1 roller rack.
• Place food so it will not rise into the broil burner. Allow at least
1/2"(1.3 cm) between pans and the broil burner.
• When baking on one rack in the lower oven, use the roll-out
rack in position 2 or 3.
