Your purchase of a KitchenAid
ThermaI-ConvectionTM Oven allows
you to expand your present methods
of cooking and at the same time
experience a new and exciting way of
increasing the quality of food
prepared. The convection oven is a
thermal oven with a fan that circulates
heated air over food causing the food
to cook faster and become evenly
browned. This circulating air allows
you to reduce the oven temperature
and baking times. Also, larger
quantities of food can be baked
at one time, thus saving time and
energy. The oven gives you the
added convenience of defrosting
and dehydrating foods, too.

baking soda or, if available, amultipurpose dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
9. 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.

had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the oven may become hot
enough to cause burns; such as, the oven vent opening, the surface
