ENGLISH 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 • 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. 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. 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. USING THE COMPACT OVEN | 9
