USING THE COMPACT OVEN
*CHOOSING BAKEWARE FOR COMPACT OVEN USE
• The broil pan included with the
Compact Oven is suitable for items such
as cookies, rolls, biscuits, nachos, and
pork chops.
• A variety of standard baking dishes,
such as a 9" (22.9 cm) round or square
cake pan, a 6 cup (1.5 L) muffin pan,
small baking sheets, and 1- and 2-qt
(0.95 L and 1.9 L) round, square, and
rectangular casserole dishes, may
be used. The Compact Oven door
must close completely.
• Choose bakeware made of metal,
oven-safe glass, ceramic, or silicone.
• Do not use glass lids. If a cover is
desired, use a loosely fitted sheet of
aluminum foil shiny side up or down.
USING THE BAKE FUNCTION
Recommended Rack Positions: Bottom
Slide the oven rack into the lowest slots
along the oven walls. The 2 reversible racks
offer the flexibility of 6 height options. Flip
the rack to use at each level, if desired.
• Use lowest oven rack position
when using deep, oven-safe glass
or ceramic containers and allow at
least 1" (2.5 cm) airspace between
the top of the container and the
upper cooking elements.
• Many convenience foods are packaged
in nonmetallic containers suitable for
use in microwave ovens. Be sure to check
package directions to determine whether
the container is suitable for use in a
regular oven.
• Use only loosely covered oven-safe
containers. Airtight containers may
cause food to boil over or splatter.
Both the top and bottom cooking elements
cycle on and off while baking.
For model KCO253, the convection
fan runs only when the Bake function is
selected to circulate heat at the desired
oven temperature. The Convection Bake
feature operates like a conventional oven
to bake and roast, but generally in a
shorter amount of time. This feature uses
a built-in fan to continuously circulate heat
while baking. The Convection Bake feature
operates only when the Bake function
is selected.
Recipes will vary and cooking time should
be monitored for desired results. For better
cooking results, select the correct cooking
pan to allow for proper air circulation.
