KitchenAid countertop mixers are a familiar sight in many kitchens, but the company also produces other items, including ranges and wall ovens. The KitchenAid Superba oven is an electric built-in double wall oven with several features, including convection cooking, a self-cleaning cycle and broil settings. Operating the Superba oven is fairly simple but caution should be used, as the oven becomes very hot during operation.
