Oven Use; Aluminum Foil; Bakeware; Meat Thermometer - KitchenAid YKERI201 Use & Care Manual

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. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to
certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well
ventilated room.
NOTE: This oven automatically adjusts for 208V operation
without affecting cooking performance. Preheat times may be
longer.

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil,
liners or cookware because permanent damage will occur to the
oven bottom finish.
Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to
move freely for best cooking results.
To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is
at least 1" (2.5 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up
at the edges.

Bakeware

The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow
manufacturer's recommendations and use the bakeware size

OVEN USE

On models without a temperature probe, always rely on a meat
thermometer to determine doneness of meat and poultry. The
internal temperature, not appearance, is what counts. A meat
thermometer is not supplied with this appliance.
Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion
of the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. The tip of the
thermometer should not touch fat, bone or gristle.
After reading the thermometer once, push it into the meat ½"
(1.25 cm) more and read again. If the temperature drops,
cook the meat or poultry longer.
Check all meat in 2 or 3 places.
Use an oven mitt to remove temperature probe.
Do not touch broil element.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in burns.
The temperature probe accurately measures the internal
temperature of meat, poultry and casseroles with liquid and
should be used in determining the doneness of meat and poultry.
It should not be used during maxi and econo broiling, convection
broiling or proofing bread.
Always unplug and remove the temperature probe from the oven
when removing food.
