the next cooking procedure.
2. Plug the cord into a grounded
3 prong outlet. The Countertop
Oven should be the only appliance
operating on the circuit.
3. The Countertop Oven is now ready
to use.
Understanding Positions
of the Wave-Rack™Oven Rack
Food cooks uniformly as warmed air moves around the Wave-Rack™ oven rack.
Up to 6 slices of bread may be placed directly on the rack for toasting. This
unique 4-position rack also holds the broil pan with grill, baking pans or dishes,
and standard bakeware. Here is a guide to adjusting your Wave-Rack™ oven
rack for optimal cooking performance.
Position A
Use the upper slots along oven walls.
Slide in the Wave-Rack™ oven rack,
using a rack-up orientation.

9
Baking (and reheating)
with the Countertop Oven
Both the top and bottom elements
will cycle on and off while baking in
order to maintain the desired oven
temperature.
Suggested Positions: When first
using the oven, position the
Wave-Rack™ oven rack as shown by
Position C in ”Understanding
Positions of the Wave-Rack™ Oven
Rack” on page 8. Then, adjust as
needed for your cooking situation.

that the food to be baked or
heated will be in the center of
the oven.
2. Close door.
3. Turn the Function control knob
to Bake.
4. Turn the Temperature control
knob clockwise to the desired
temperature. Bake according to
package or recipe instructions
(usually 350° – 425°F).
5. Preheat the oven for 5 minutes for
baking (and reheating) by turning
the Time control knob clockwise
past the 10 minute position, then
moving it back to a 5 position.
After 5 minutes, the bell will
sound and the oven will
automatically shut off.
6. Place the food in the center of the
rack. Close door.
7. Turn the Time control knob
clockwise to the desired time.
When the time has elapsed, the
bell will ring and the oven will
automatically shut off. Turn the
Time control knob to 0 (off) if
food is removed before the time
has elapsed.
8. For longer cooking times, make
two settings of the Time control
knob. Example: For a total of
45 minutes, make one 30 minute
setting with the Time control
knob. Then, when time elapses,
set for an additional 15 minutes.
When the food is done, remove
pan and grill from the oven.

Broiling (and top browning)
with the Countertop Oven
Only the top elements will heat when
this oven function is selected.
Recommended Positions: Use the
upper slots along oven walls. Slide in
the Wave-Rack™ oven rack, using a
rack-down orientation (see Position B
on page 8). Place the broil pan with
grill (with food) on oven rack.

Troubleshooting
•If your Countertop Oven should
fail to operate, check the
following:
–See if the Countertop Oven is
plugged into a proper electrical
outlet. If it is, unplug the
Countertop Oven, then plug it into
the same outlet again. If the
Countertop Oven still does not
work, check the household fuse or
circuit breaker on the electrical
circuit the Countertop Oven is
connected to and make sure the
circuit is closed.
If the problem cannot be corrected,
see the KitchenAid Warranty and
Service section on pages 30-31.
Do not return the Countertop Oven
to the retailer – they do not
provide service.
Cleaning the Countertop Oven
•Make sure the Time control knob is
in the 0 (off) position. Then, unplug
from the wall socket before
cleaning.
•Allow oven and accessories to cool
completely before cleaning.
•Do not use abrasive cleaners or
metal scouring pads. This could
scratch the surface.
•Wipe the outside of the oven with
a clean, damp cloth and dry
thoroughly. A nonabrasive liquid
cleaner may be used for stubborn
stains. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
•Hand washing is recommended for
racks and pan. Remove all items
from the Countertop Oven. Wash
the rack, broil pan, and grill in hot,
sudsy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly. To clean the crumb
drawer, slide it out of the oven and
brush off crumbs. Wipe with a
damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
NOTE: The Wave-Rack™ oven rack,
broil pan, grill, and crumb drawer
are dishwasher safe.
•To remove baked-on stains, scrub
with a paste made from baking
soda and water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
•The walls on the inside of the oven
have a Teflon®coating for easy
cleaning. Remove heavy spatter
after use with a nylon or polyester
mesh pad, sponge or cloth
dampened with warm water.
Dry with a paper towel or soft,
dry cloth.
IMPORTANT: Do not use cleaning
agents, cleansers or metal scouring
pads on the inner oven coating as
this may reduce its effectiveness.

Countertop Oven Use Tips
Setting very short times
When setting timer for 5 minutes or
less, turn the Time control knob
beyond the 10-minute mark. Then,
turn the knob back to the desired
time.
Are guesstimates okay?
Experience will teach you how much
time to use for toasting various kinds
of bread. Frozen, dark or whole grain
breads require a longer time. Fresh,
soft or white breads require a shorter
time.
For foods that melt
When cooking small pieces of foods
or foods that will melt, use the broil
pan. This will prevent food from
falling onto the cooking elements.
To minimize cleanup
Spray the broil pan with nonstick
cooking spray for easier cleanup
when cooking wet or sticky foods.
Wash pan thoroughly after each use
to prevent buildup of cooking spray.
Size limits for food
For best results, food and/or oven-
safe containers (see section on
“Choosing Bakeware for Countertop
Use,” page 14) must fit into the
Countertop Oven without touching
the cooking elements or inside walls
of oven. The door must close
completely.
When oven is off
Turn the Temperature control knob to
Warm, or minimum setting, when
Countertop Oven is not in use.
For extended use
When cooking for a long time at high
temperatures, you may detect a slight
odor from the oven insulation
materials. This is normal.
13
Food Cooking Tips
•Check food cooking progress
through the clear, tempered glass
door window. Your Countertop
Oven wiII be more energy efficient
if you open the door less often.
•Be sure all foods and/or containers
fit in the Countertop Oven without
touching cooking elements or
preventing door from closing.
•Remove all plastic and/or paper
wrappers from foods before
cooking.
•Use only loosely covered oven-safe
containers; airtight containers may
cause food to boil over or splatter.
•Follow package directions when
preparing frozen or packaged
foods. Preheating the oven is not
necessary.
•Oven surfaces can become hot
during cooking. Touch only the
door handle and knobs during oven
operation.
•Do not place items on top or near
Countertop Oven while in use.
•Replace cardboard, glass or plastic
lids with aluminum foil for use in
the Countertop Oven.

14
Helpful Hints
Choosing Bakeware for
Countertop Oven Use
•The broil pan included with the
oven is suitable for items such as
cookies, rolls, biscuits, nachos and
pork chops.
•Avariety of standard baking dishes,
such as a 9-inch round or square
cake pan, a 6-cup muffin pan,
small baking sheets, and 1- and
2-quart round, square and
rectangular casserole dishes, may
be used. The oven door must close
completely.
•Choose bakeware made of metal,
oven-safe glass or ceramic.
•Use lowest Wave-Rack™ oven rack
position when using deep, oven-
safe glass or ceramic containers and
allow at least 1-inch air space
between the top of the container
and the upper cooking elements.
•Do not use glass lids. If a cover is
desired, use a loosely fitted sheet of
aluminum foil.
•Many convenience foods are
packaged in nonmetallic containers
suitable for use in microwave ovens.
Check package directions to
determine if the container is
suitable for use in a regular oven.
