IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including
the following:
GENERAL COOKING PRECAUTIONS
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
3. Do not leave children alone in area where oven is in use. They should never be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of the oven.
4. WARNING: Do not store items attractive to children in cabinets above your oven.
Children climbing on the oven door to reach items could be seriously injured.
5. Flammable materials should not be stored in either oven.
6. Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
7. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while
using the oven.
8. Do not operate this oven if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or
dropped.
9. Do not repair or replace any part of this oven unless specifically recommended in this
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
10. This oven should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact nearest
authorized servicing outlet for examination, repair or adjustment.
11. Know where your main electrical switch is located. It is important to know this in case
the electrical power to your oven needs to be turned off. Have the installer show you
where it is located.
12. Clean your oven(s) regularly. See care and cleaning instructions in this manual.
13. Use this oven only for its intended use as described in this manual.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
OVEN PRECAUTIONS
1. Never use your oven for warming or heating the room.
2. Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-
type fire extinguisher.
3. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or
bulky cloth for a potholder. They could catch on fire.
4. Use care when opening door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing
food.
>. Always position oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
6. Do not touch heating elements or interior surfaces of oven. Heating elements may be
hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough
to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the oven may become hot enough to cause
burns —among these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near these
openings, doors and windows.
7. Never let aluminum foil touch heating elements.
8. Never touch an oven light bulb with a damp cleaning cloth unless the power is turned
off to your oven and the bulb is cool to the touch.
9. Do not heat unopened food containers. Buildup of pressure may cause container to
burst and result in injury.
10. Do not clean door gasket. It is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage, or move the gasket. Hand clean only areas recommended in this manual.
11. CAUTION: Do not use oven cleaners in the Single/Upper Oven. No commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part
of the Single/Upper Oven.
12. Before self-cleaning the Single/Upper Oven, remove broiler pan, broiler grid, oven racks
and other utensils. (Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts.)

ELECTRONIC CLOCK OPERATION
The electronic clock controls all timed
operations for only the Single/Upper
Oven. It consists of the Display Window,
START button, TIME knob and STOP/
CANCEL button. When your oven is first
connected to the power in your home,
00:00 will be displayed in the Window.
To Set The Time of Day:
Turn the TIME knob to the left until a tone
is heard and “TIME” appears in the Dis-
play Window. The previously set time (or
12:00”) will appear in the Display Win-
dow. Continue turning the TIME knob
in either direction until the correct time
of day appears in the Display Window.
Press the START button to begin clock
operation.
To Use The Minute Timer:
The Minute Timer can be programmed
from 9 seconds to 99 minutes for precise
timing of short and long-term cooking, or
any other activity. The Minute Timer is only
an audible reminder and will not turn the
oven ON or OFF.
To use it, turn the TIME knob to the right;
the display will immediately change to : >
and “TIMER” will be displayed. Continue
turning until the desired time is displayed
(in minutes and seconds) in the Window.
To start the Minute Timer, press the
START button.
The Display Window will continue to show
“TIMER” and the selected time will begin
counting down. At the end of the timed pe-
riod, “TIMER” will appear in the Display
Window and flash rapidly and a tone will
sound for 3 seconds, after which an inter-
mittent tone will sound until the Minute
Timer is cancelled, or until a total of 15
minutes have elapsed.
NOTE: The current time of day may be
checked while the Minute Timer is in use
by touching the START button. The time
of day will be displayed for 7 seconds, then
return to the Minute Timer program in
progress.
Press the STOP/CANCEL button once to
turn off the Minute Timer alarm at the end
of a program.
To cancel a Minute Timer program in
progress, press the STOP/CANCEL button
once. A tone will sound and the clock will
return to the time of day.
When turning the TIME knob to set the
Minute Timer, the time will appear in the
Display Window and increase in the follow-
ing increments:
From 5 seconds to 2 minutes 5 second increments
From 2 minutes to 10 minutes 10 second increments
From 10 minutes to 20 minutes 30 second increments
From 20 minutes to 99 minutes 1 minute increments
NOTE: The Minute Timer may be used at
the same time as an Automatic Time
Cooking or Self-Clean program. The Time
Cooking or Self-Clean program must be
set first, then the Minute Timer. One touch
of the STOP/CANCEL button will cancel
the Minute Timer and two touches will
cancel the cooking or cleaning program.
HOW TO USE THE SINGLE/UPPER OVEN
The Single/Upper Oven is used for baking, roasting, and broiling. It has two controls—a
Selector and a Temperature Control. Both must be set for the oven to work.
The Selector has five settings:
BROIL— Use this setting for broiling. Only the upper element will
come on.
CLEAN — Use this setting for self-cleaning only.
TIME BAKE. — Use this setting for Automatic Time Baking. Both
the upper and lower elements come on.
BAKE — Use this setting for baking and roasting. Both the upper
and lower elements will come on.
OFF — Use this setting to turn the oven off.
When both the upper and lower elements are on, the upper element operates at partial
power to aid in more uniform baking. The upper element does not turn red like the lower
element which operates at full power.
Temperature Control
The adjustable Temperature Control can be set at any temperature
from WARM (150°F) to BROIL (550°F). Settings WARM to 225°F are
suggested for warming and holding foods.
Preheating the Oven
For best results, preheat the oven until the Oven Indicator Light goes out, unless the recipe
states otherwise. Set the Selector to BAKE and Temperature Control to the desired
temperature. Exercise care in turning the Temperature Control so you do not go past the
desired set point. If you accidentally go past the desired setting, return the dial to OFF and
reset to the desired setting. The Oven Light will go out when the desired temperature has
been reached and cycle on and off during the heating period.
Be sure the Selector and Temperature Control are turned to OFF when the oven is not in
use.
HOW TO USE THE LOWER OVEN (For Double Ovens Only)
The lower oven can be used for baking, roasting and broiling. It is controlled only by a Tem-
perature Control, with settings from WARM (150°F) to BROIL (550°F).
NOTE: The lower oven will not operate while the upper oven is being cleaned.
BAKING
TO USE FOR BAKING:
Single/Upper Oven
1. Arrange the oven racks in the desired positions.
2. Set the Temperature Control to the recommended temperature.
See baking chart, page 10.
3. Turn the Selector to BAKE.
Be sure to turn the Selector and the Temperature Control to OFF
when cooking has been completed.
Lower Oven (For Double Ovens Only)
1. Arrange the oven racks in the desired positions.
2. Set the Temperature Control to the recommended temperature. See baking chart,
page 10.
Be sure to turn the Temperature Control OFF when cooking has been completed. The oven
will remain ON at any other setting.
Rack Positions
Your KitchenAid oven has four rack posi-
tions. Rack position 4 is the highest posi-
tion, or farthest from the bottom of the
oven, and position 1 is closest to the bot-
tom of the oven. Be sure to arrange the
oven rack(s) before putting foods into the
oven or turning the oven on.
To Remove Oven Rack:
1. Pull rack out until bar on back of rack
touches first stop.
2. Lift front of rack up until rear portion of
rack slides out between two front stops.
Baking Tips
e Set the oven controls and, if necessary, preheat the oven until Oven Indicator Light goes
out before placing pans in the oven. Avoid opening the oven door during baking. Heat is
lost and could cause poor baking results. Use the Bake View Window to conserve energy.
e Use the Minute Timer to time cooking functions. (See page 10 for recommended baking
times.)
e Wait until the shortest recommended baking time is over before checking food.
e When baking two sheets of cookies at the same time, each sheet should be removed
when the desired degree of doneness is reached, which may be at separate times.
Pan Placement
e |f possible, use only one rack during baking if the pan covers
most of the rack, such as a large cookie sheet.
e Stagger pans in opposite directions when two racks and several
pans are used. No pan should be directly above another.
e Allow 11 to 2 inches of air space around all sides of each pan
for even air circulation.
¢ When using a large roasting pan or cookie sheet, turn the pan
so that the long side is parallel to the oven door for the best heat distribution and air flow.
Bakeware Tips
e se the recommended pan size given in recipes to insure good results. Old or darkened
pans are not desirable.
¢ Tin coated, stainless steel, warped or dented pans do not heat
evenly and will cause uneven baking.
Bake cakes, cookies, quick breads and muffins in shiny pans for
a tender, golden crust.
¢ Reduce oven temperature by 25°F when using glass pans, ex-
cept when baking pies or yeast breads.
e Cookies, biscuits and cream puffs bake best on medium weight
aluminum sheets with no sides or very low sides.
Using Aluminum Foil Correctly in the Oven
If you wish to use foil to catch possible spillovers, cut a piece of foil slightly larger than the
pan being used and turn up the edges to form a tray. Position the foil “tray” on the oven
rack below the pan. CAUTION: NEVER COVER AN ENTIRE OVEN RACK OR OVEN
BOTTOM WITH FOIL. FOIL CAN OBSTRUCT NORMAL HEAT FLOW, CAUSE
COOKING FAILURES AND DAMAGE THE OVEN INTERIOR.

ROASTING
TO USE FOR ROASTING:
Single/Upper Oven
1. Arrange the oven racks in the desired positions.
2. Set the Temperature Control to the recommended
temperature. See roasting chart, page 13.
3. Turn the Selector to BAKE.
Lower Oven (For double Ovens Only)
1. Arrange the oven racks in the desired positions.
2. Set the Temperature Control to the recommended
temperature, see roasting chart, page 13.
Roasting Tips
e Roast meats fat side up in a shallow pan using a roasting rack.
* Use a roasting pan that fits the size of the food to be roasted. Meat juices may overflow
sides of a pan that is too small, and a too large pan will result in increased oven spatter.
e Spatter can be reduced by lining the bottom of the roasting pan with lightly crushed
aluminum foil.
* A foil “tent” will slow down surface browning for long-
term roasting, as when roasting a turkey. Place tent-
shaped foil loosely over meat to allow for air circulation.
Do not seal foil or meat will be steamed.
e (se an accurate meat thermometer to determine when
meat has reached desired degree of doneness. Insert
thermometer into the center of the thickest portion of
the meat or inner thigh or breast of poultry. For an ac-
curate reading, the tip of the thermometer should not
touch fat, bone or gristle.
Foil Tent
e After reading the thermometer once, push it further into the meat '4 inch or more and
read again. If the temperature drops, return the meat to the oven for more cooking.
e Remove roasted meats from the oven when the thermometer registers 5°F to 10°F lower
than the desired doneness. The meat will continue to cook after removal from the oven.
e Roasts will be easier to carve if allowed to stand 10 to 15 minutes after removal from the
oven.

BROILING
Broiling, a quick-cook method, will produce foods that are brown on the outside and moist
and juicy on the inside.
TO USE FOR BROILING:
Single/Upper Oven
1. Arrange the oven racks in the desired positions, see broiling
chart, page 17. Place food on grid on broiler pan and place in on
center of the oven rack.
2. Set the Temperature Control to the recommended temperature,
see broiling chart, page 17.
3. Turn the Selector to BROIL. Do not preheat the broiler.
4. Position the oven door at the broil stop.
Lower Oven (For Double Ovens Only)
1. Arrange the oven racks in the desired positions, see chart
page 17. Place food on grid on broiler pan and place in center of
the oven rack.
2. Set the Temperature Control to BROIL (550°F).
3. Position the oven door at the broil stop.
NOTE: If preferred, the oven door can be closed during broiling, but foods may not be as
well browned.
Broiling Tips
e Always start broiling with a cold broiler pan for even results.
® To retain more natural juice, do not pierce meat with fork.
— e Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and chops.
* Slit fatty edges to prevent meat from curling during broiling.
® Brush food with butter, sauce or seasoning, if desired, several times during broiling.
* Grease the broiler pan grid when broiling fish to prevent sticking.
CAUTION: COVERING THE BROILER GRID WITH FOIL IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
POOR DRAINAGE OF HOT FAT MAY RESULT IN A BROILER FIRE. If foil must be
used, cut slits in foil to correspond with all openings in the broiler grid. Fat can then drip
away from meat and cool in the pan.

OVEN CARE AND CLEANING
Several finishes have been used on this oven. Some require special attention to the cleaning
agents used to prevent damage to the finish. The care of the inside of the oven and door are
explained in detail on the pages that follow.
Part Finish Clean With
Broiler Pan Porcelain Enamel Detergent and hot water. Soap-filled
steel wool pad with plenty of water.
Rinse well.
Oven Racks Nickel Plating Detergent and hot water.
Broiler Pan Grid Chrome Plating Removable plated parts may be soaked

Porcelain Enamel
Lower Porcelain
Enamel
Detergent and hot water. Rinse well with
water and dry with soft towel. Heavy soil
may require use of commercial oven
cleaner or scouring pad. DO NOT USE
CLEANER OR SCOURING PADS ON
UPPER OVEN.
OVEN SELF-CLEANING (Single/Upper Oven Only)
The self-clean feature is designed to eliminate the need for scrubbing and scouring soil
baked onto the oven interior. Food spatters on the oven wall become harder to remove
each time the oven is heated, but because the Self-Clean Cycle heats these soils to a higher
temperature (850°F-900°F), soil is “burned off.”
Your KitchenAid Oven offers four self-cleaning cycle combinations to give you excellent
flexibility when self-cleaning your oven. The Automatic Self-Clean Cycle features a preset
21 hour clean time — ample time to clean most ovens. This cycle can be extended up to 4
hours if a longer cleaning time is needed because of heavy soil buildup. The Automatic
Self-Clean Cycle can also be delayed to a more convenient time if desired. And, the delayed
cycle can also be extended for a longer cleaning time.
Before Starting a Self-Clean Cycle
1. Remove all items from the oven. Re-
move oven racks according to instruc-
tions on page 8. It is recommended that
the oven racks be removed as they will
discolor and darken during the self-
clean cycle. If the oven racks remained
in the oven during the clean cycle, wipe
the sides with vegetable oil after clean-
ing so they will slide easily. BROILER
PAN, BROILER GRID OR COOKING
UTENSILS SHOULD NOT BE
CLEANED IN THE OVEN. HEAVY
GREASE BUILDUP ON THESE ITEMS
WILL PRODUCE SMOKE AND ODORS
WHICH CAN BE DISCHARGED INTO
THE KITCHEN.
2. Wipe up large spillovers in the oven cavity with a damp cloth. NEVER USE CHEMICAL
OVEN CLEANERS INSIDE A SELF-CLEANING OVEN OR ON RAISED PORTION OF
THE DOOR.
The smoke eliminator will handle the normal flow of odors during the clean cycle, how-
ever, minor smoke may be noticed when soil buildup is heavy.
3. Wipe soil from Oven Frame and Door outside of Gasket. Wash with detergent and hot
water, rinse well with a mixture of vinegar and water and wipe dry. A non-scratch scouring
pad may be used on heavily soiled areas. Wash surfaces frequently to minimize overall
cleaning as these areas are not cleaned during the self-clean cycle.
CAUTION: DO NOT SCRUB OR CLEAN OVEN DOOR GASKET. DAMAGE TO OVEN
SEAL MAY RESULT.

cycle can be extended for up to 4 hours. Follow steps 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 under “TO START
THE AUTOMATIC SELF-CLEAN CYCLE,” then:
1. When “STOP TIME” appears in the Display Window, turn the TIME knob to the right until

An automatic Self-Clean cycle can be both delayed and extended if desired. Follow steps
1,2, 3 and 4 under “TO START THE AUTOMATIC SELF-CLEAN CYCLE,” then:
1. Set the delayed start time by turning the TIME knob until the new start time appears in
the Display Window.
2. Touch the START button to lock in the new start time. The display will show “STOP
TIME” and the automatic preset cleaning stop time. Turn the TIME knob until the new
cleaning stop time appears in the Display Window.
3. Touch the START button again to lock in the new stop time and return the clock to the
present time of day.

What Happens During the Self-Clean Cycle?
After the controls have been set on a non-delayed cycle, or after the delayed time has run
out on a delayed cycle:
* The Clean and Oven Lights will glow to tell you the oven is slowly heating to the clean tem-
perature, and “AUTO” will appear continuously in the Display Window.
* The Lock Light will come on when the temperature reaches 575-600°F (approximately
15 minutes).
At the End of the Cleaning Cycle
e The Oven Light will go out.
e The Clean Light will go off.
e The Lock Light will continue to glow until the oven temperature drops below 550°F. The
oven door cannot be opened until Lock Light goes out.
* After a clean cycle, any powdery residue can be wiped away with a damp cloth. If white
spots remain in the oven after a clean cycle, remove them with a non-scratch scouring
pad before using the oven again. These spots are usually salt residues that cannot be re-
moved during the Self-Clean cycle.
e |f the soil removal was not complete, increase the length of the clean time in the next
cycle.
To Interrupt Cleaning Cycle:
1. Touch the STOP/CANCEL button twice. A tone will sound each time and the clock will
return to the present time of day.
2. Slide Oven Lock Lever all the way to the left. NOTE: If Lock Light has come on, wait until
oven cools and light goes off.
3. Turn Selector to OFF.
To Return Oven to Regular Use After a Self-Clean Cycle:
1. Slide the Oven Lock Lever all the way to the left.
2. Turn the Selector to OFF.
3. Allow oven to cool sufficiently before wiping up any residue.
OVEN SELF-CLEANING TIPS
* Evening is a good time to clean the oven, after normal oven use is completed.
® Small amounts of smoke escaping from the oven vent are normal when oven is heavily
soiled. Excessive smoke may indicate heavy spillovers have not been wiped up.
* Do not force the Oven Lock Lever open when the Lock Light is on. Damage to the lock
mechanism may result.
® Clean both ovens regularly, before they become “excessively dirty.” If oven is not clean
after one cycle, repeat cleaning cycle.
