KitchenAid KCO273 Use & Care Manual

In Cookie mode, the Even-Heat™ system 

distributes power to the top and bottom 

heating elements to maintain the desired 

oven temperature. The top center element 

will be off.
When using Convection in Cookie mode, 

EasyConvect™ Conversion automatically 

reduces oven temperature by 25°F (14°C) 

to prevent overcooking.
Convection tips for_ Cookie mode
•  Cookies will cook faster and more 

efficiently in Convection Mode because 

their surface area is relatively small.

•  Keep heat loss to a minimum by opening 

the oven door only when necessary.

NOTE: For temperature and time settings 

and options in Cookie mode, see the 

“Cooking modes” chart.

•  Cookies may finish cooking up to 30% 

faster when using Convection Mode. 

Check cookies before the expected finish 

time to avoid overcooking.

In Pizza mode, the Even-Heat™ system 

distributes power to the top and bottom 

heating elements to maintain the desired 

oven temperature. The top center element 

is off until the end of this mode. The last 

stage of this mode will finish off the cheese 

by browning with high heat. 
Fr_ozen Mode

Pizza setting will default to frozen mode. You 

may use the Frozen button to provide extra 

time for frozen pizzas to cook, or deselect it 

when cooking freshly prepared pizzas.
Pizza mode tips

•  For frozen pizzas, it is recommended to 

follow time and temperature directions 

included on the food packaging. 

•  Thin crust pizzas will cook faster and 

more efficiently in Convection Mode 

because their surface area is relatively 

small. Place thin crust pizzas directly on 

the oven rack for crispier crust. Please 

keep in mind that convection can speed  

up cooking time by up to 30%. You  

should check pizza often in the final 

minutes to ensure optimal results  

with this feature. Once you determine 

optimal time, reset your memory setting 

to the new desired time.

Cooking stage

Browning stage

NOTE: For temperature and time settings 

and options in Pizza mode, see the  

“Cooking modes” chart.

•  Thick crust, self-rising, or deep-dish pizzas 

will require longer cooking times. Use 

the 12" (30 cm) nonstick pan for fresh or 

deep-dish pizzas to maintain shape and 

keep sauce contained.

•  Pizzas may need to be rotated during 

cooking to ensure even results.
