Oven Vent; Baking And Roasting; Broiling - KitchenAid W10524728A User Instructions

To Insert Roll-Out Rack
1. Angle the front of the rack assembly up and insert the rack
frame into the "V" cutout in the rack guides of the oven cavity.
2. Keep rack assembly lifted up at an angle and push in to bypass
the lower "V" cutout.
Temperature Management System
The oven control regulates the oven heat levels during preheat and
bake to maintain a precise temperature range for optimal cooking
results. The bake and broil elements or burners cycle on and off in
intervals. On convection range models, the fan and convection
element may run while preheating and may be cycled on and off for
short intervals during Bake to provide the best results. This feature
is automatically activated when the oven is in use.
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to
"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is not
necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting
food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.
Leave the door open 6" (15 cm) at the broil stop position to ensure
proper broiling temperature. Preheat the oven for 5 minutes before
putting food in unless recommended otherwise in the recipe.
Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place it in the center of
the oven rack.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is
used or if the oven is heavily soiled.

Baking and Roasting

3. Lower the front of the rack assembly and gently slide rack
assembly into oven, bypassing the "V" cutouts. Push the rack
assembly to the back of the oven until it stops.
To Remove Roll-out Rack
1. Push the sliding rack in completely so that it is in the closed
and engaged position.
2. Using 2 hands, gently pull the sliding rack and the rack frame at
the same time to the "V" cutout. Angle the rack so that the front
is higher than the back, and gently pull rack past "V" cutout
and then out of the oven.
To avoid damage to the sliding rack, do not place more than 25 lbs
(11.4 kg) on the rack.
Do not clean the roll-out rack in a dishwasher. It may remove the
rack's lubricant and affect its ability to slide.
See the "General Cleaning" section for more information.

Oven Vent

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven
vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning
results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or
burn near the oven vent.
Preheating
When Start is pressed, the oven will begin preheating. Once 100ºF
(38ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as the
actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat
temperature is reached, a tone will sound, and the selected
temperature will appear on the display. The time necessary to
preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) is approximately 15 minutes,
depending on the model. Factors that have an impact on preheat
times are: room temperature, starting oven temperature, and the
number of oven racks. Unused oven racks can be removed prior to
preheating your oven to reduce preheat time.

Broiling

Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise
control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish
and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use racks 6 or
7 for broiling. Refer to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware"
section for more information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to maintain
the proper temperature.
■ For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered.
Please refer to the "Accessories" section for more information.
