KitchenAid 27" Combination Wall Oven with Even-Heat™ True Convection (lower oven) Use & Care Manual

To Replace SatinGlide™ Roll-out Extension Rack

1. Using 2 hands, grasp the front of the closed rack and the 

sliding shelf. Place the closed rack and the sliding shelf on the 
rack guide.

2. Using 2 hands, lift up on the front edge of the rack and the 

sliding shelf together.

3. Slowly push the rack and the sliding shelf to the back of the 

oven until the back edge of the rack pulls over the end of the 
rack guide.

To avoid damage to the sliding shelves, do not place more than 
25 lbs (11.4 kg) on the rack. 

Do not clean the SatinGlide™ roll-out extension rack in a 
dishwasher. It may remove the rack’s lubricant and affect its ability 
to slide.

See the “General Cleaning” section for more information.

Bakeware

The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow 
manufacturer’s recommendations and use the bakeware size 
recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.

Meat Thermometer

Not all models have a temperature probe. On models without a 
temperature probe, use a meat thermometer to determine whether 
meat, poultry and fish are cooked to the desired degree of 
doneness. The internal temperature, not appearance, should be 
used to determine doneness. 

Oven Vent(s)

The oven vent(s) should not be blocked or covered since they allow 
the inlet of fresh air into the cooling system. Also, the bottom vent 
should not be blocked or covered since it allows the inlet of fresh 
air into the cooling system and the outlet of hot air from the cooling 
system. Blocking or covering vents will cause poor air circulation, 
affecting cooking, cleaning and cooling results.

Preheating and Oven Temperature

Preheating

When beginning a Bake or Convect Bake cycle, the oven begins 
preheating after Start is touched. The oven will take approximately 
12 to 17 minutes to reach 350°F (177°C) with all of the oven racks 
provided with your oven inside the oven cavity. Higher 
temperatures will take longer to preheat. The preheat cycle rapidly 
increases the oven temperature. The actual oven temperature will 
go above your set temperature to offset the heat lost when your 
oven door is opened to insert food. This ensures that when you 
place your food in the oven, the oven will begin at the proper 
temperature. Insert your food when the preheat tone sounds. Do 
not open the door during preheat until the tone sounds.

Oven Temperature

While in use, the oven elements will cycle on and off as needed to 
maintain a consistent temperature. They may run slightly hot or 
cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door 
while in use will release the hot air and cool the oven which could 
impact the cooking time and performance. It is recommended to 
use the oven light to monitor cooking progress.
