Oven Use; Aluminum Foil; Positioning Racks And Bakeware - KitchenAid KEMS308 Use & Care Manual

Temperature Change
The oven temperature can be changed when the oven is in the
Sabbath Mode. No tones will sound, and the display will not
change. The heating elements will not turn on or off for a random
time, anywhere from 16 to 24 seconds. It may take up to one-half
hour for the oven to change temperature.
Number keys 1 through 0 represent temperatures.
Use the following chart as a guide.

OVEN USE

Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few
times, or when it is heavily soiled.
During oven use, the heating elements will not remain on, but will
cycle on and off throughout oven operation.
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.

Aluminum Foil

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or
cookware.
For best cooking results, 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 ½" (1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned
up at the edges.

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.
RACKS
Position racks before turning on the oven.
Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
Make sure racks are level.
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front
edge, then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a
guide.

BAKEWARE
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. For
traditional cooking, allow 2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware
and oven walls. For convection cooking, allow 1" (2.5 cm) of
space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the following chart
as a guide.
