Frequently Asked Questions by Customers

• Is this a convection-only oven, or does it include a regular bake function?
  It includes both. You can use standard bake or convection bake, depending on your cooking needs.
  
  
• How effective is the AquaLift (steam) self-cleaning function?
  The AquaLift cycle only cleans the bottom of the oven. The sides and the door still require manual cleaning, and using oven cleaner may damage the interior coating.
  
  
• Does this oven have a broiler?
  Yes, it comes equipped with a broiler.
  
  
• Why doesn’t the oven’s preheat indicator always match an accurate temperature?
  Ovens typically preheat and beep when they reach the set temperature, but that doesn’t guarantee it's perfectly accurate. This discrepancy of 15–20°F is considered normal by the manufacturer.
  
  
• Are the control knobs metal or plastic?
  The knobs on the KFEG500E series are metal, giving them a premium look and feel.
  
  
• How does baking work without a visible bottom heating element?
  This model features a hidden bake element, which maintains even heat and makes cleaning effortless.
