KitchenAid 30-Inch Steam-Assist Combination Microwave Wall Oven, Architect® Series II Utilização E Cuidado

During convection broiling, the broil elements will cycle on and off 
in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan constantly 
circulates the hot air.

The temperature is preset at 325°F (163°C), but can be changed 
to a different temperature. Cooking times will vary depending on 
the rack position and temperature and may need to be adjusted.

If the oven door is opened during convection broiling, the fan 
turns off immediately when door is opened and turns on again 
immediately when door is closed. Broil elements will turn off 
approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn 
on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.

Before convection broiling, see “Full and Center Broiling” section 
for general broiling guidelines. Position rack.

Allow the oven to preheat for 5 minutes. Position food on the 
unheated grid on the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the 
oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door.

Close the door.

1. From the Main menu, touch CONVECT.

2. Touch BROIL.

3. To change the preset temperature, enter the desired 

temperature on the number keys. The convection broil 
temperature can be set between 300°F and 500°F (149°C and 
260°C).

4. Once a cooking setup function is complete, the Start key will 

light up.

5. When settings are correct, touch START.

6. Touch OFF when finished cooking.

Convection temperatures and times differ from those of standard 
cooking. The oven can automatically reduce standard recipe 
temperatures and times for convection cooking.

The conversion may not be exact because foods are grouped in 
general categories. To ensure optimal cooking results, the oven 
will prompt a food check at the end of a non-delayed cook time. 
Use the following chart as a guide.

1. From the Main menu, touch CONVECT.

2. Touch EASYCONVECT™ control.

3. Select the appropriate food category using the chart as a 

reference.

4. Enter the standard temperature using the number keys.

5. Enter the standard cook time using the number keys.

6. Once a cooking setup function is complete, the Start key will 

light up.

7. When settings are correct, touch START. The control will 

automatically adjust the time and/or temperature for 
convection cooking.

8. If the oven temperature is below the set temperature, the 

Preheat Bar will be displayed showing the status of the 
preheat cycle. When preheat is complete a tone will sound.

9. During the preheat and cooking cycle an Adjust Settings key 

appears on the lower right hand corner of the display. Touch 
ADJUST SETTINGS to change the desired time and 
temperature. Touch START to enter new settings.

10. The Check Food message will appear at the end of the cook 

time.

If enabled, end-of-cycle tones will sound, then reminder 
tones will sound every minute. Touch OK to clear the 
message, stop reminder tones, and continue the current 
cooking cycle.

11. Touch OFF when finished cooking.

Proofing bread prepares dough for baking by activating the 
yeast. Proofing twice is recommended unless the recipe directs 
otherwise.

Before first proofing, place dough in a lightly greased bowl and 
cover loosely with wax paper coated with shortening. Place bowl 
on rack position 2. See “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” for 
diagram. Close door.

1. From the main menu, select Bread Proof. The display will 

show 100°F (38°C).

2. To set a proof time, touch PROOF TIME.

3. Enter the desired time using the number keys.

4. Once a proofing setup function is complete, the Start key will 

light up.

5. When settings are correct, touch START.

Let dough rise until nearly doubled in size, check at 20 to 
25 minutes. Proofing time may vary depending on dough type 
and quantity.

6. If the Proof Time has been set, the Check Food message will 

appear at the end of the cook time.

If enabled, end-of-cycle tones will sound, then reminder 
tones will sound every minute. Touch OK to clear the
