etting to know your microwave-convection hood combination
Using the metal rack
The Metal Rack (Part No. 4359242) gives
you extra space when cooking in more than
one container at the same time. The metal
rack must not be turned upside-down inside
the oven. The feet must be positioned at the
bottom of the rack. You can also use the
Metal Rack for convection cooking (see
pages 46, 49, and 50).
If you need a replacement rack and your
KitchenAid dealer does not stock the rack,
you can order it, by part number, by calling
1-800-461-5681 and following the instruc-
tions and telephone prompts you hear.
Inserting the rack
Normal position: Insert the rack securely on
the rack guides on the side walls of the oven.
Bottom position: Insert the rack securely
on the bottom of the oven.
Notes:
• Do not store the Metal Rack in the oven.
Arcing and damage to the oven could result
if someone accidentally starts the oven.
• Use rack only in the microwave oven.
• Do not use rack with browning dish.
• Do not let food container on rack touch
the top or sides of the oven.
• For microwave cooking, do not cook
foods directly on rack without putting them
in containers first.
• When convection or combination cook-
ing, you may be able to cook some foods
directly on the rack. (See “Convection
Cooking” and “Combination Cooking”
sections for additional information.)
• Do not place a metal cooking container
on rack when microwave cooking or
combination cooking. Place a microwave-
safe plate under container.
• Only use the Metal Rack when cooking at
more than one level.
