KitchenAid KCO273 Use & Care Manual

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook 

food from above. The Even-Heat™ system 

will distribute power to all three top heating 

elements to deliver two levels of efficient 

broiling. The bottom elements will not  

be on.
Convection mode can be used with thin cuts 

of fish, eliminating the need for flipping.
Br_oil mode tips

•  For best results, use the 12" (30 cm)

multipurpose pan and rack. It is designed 

to drain juices and help avoid spatter  

and smoke.

•  For proper draining, do not cover the  

rack with foil. Instead, the bottom of 

the multipurpose pan may be lined with 

aluminum foil for easier cleaning.

•  Foods cooked under the broiler will burn 

very quickly if not monitored near the end 

of their cooking times.

In Keep Warm mode, the Even-Heat™ 

system distributes power to the top  

and bottom elements to keep food  

warm before serving. 
Keep War_m Tips
•  The preset temperature is 170°F, but you 

may wish to adjust this depending on the 

item being warmed.

  IMPORTANT: Food must be at serving 

temperature before it is placed in the 

oven to keep warm.

•  Pull oven rack out before turning  

or removing food. Use tongs to turn  

food to avoid the loss of juices. Very  

thin cuts of fish, poultry, or meat may  

not need to be turned.

•  After broiling, remove the pan and food 

from the oven. Drippings will bake on 

the pan if left in the heated oven, making 

cleaning more difficult.

NOTE: For temperature and time settings 

and options in Broil mode, see the “Cooking 

modes” chart.

NOTE: For temperature and time settings 

and options in Keep Warm mode, see the 

“Cooking modes” chart.

The Even-Heat™ system distributes power 

to the top and bottom elements to bring 

food to serving temperature. (The top 

center element is off.)
Reheat mode tips

•  The preset suggested temperature is 

300°F, but you may need to adjust this 

depending on the item being reheated.

•  Reheating too long may over-cook or dry 

out food. 

NOTE: For temperature and time settings 

and options in Reheat mode, see the 

“Cooking modes” chart.
