Keep Warm Tips:
• Always start with hot food. Do not use the warm feature to
heat cold food.
• Food in heat-safe glass and glass ceramic containers may
need higher temperature settings compared to food in
regular containers.
• Avoid repeated openings of the oven. It will allow hot air to
escape and the food to cool.
• Aluminum foil may be used to cover food to increase
moisture content.
Keep Warm Temperature Selection
See Table 5 for the recommended keep warm food settings. If a
particular food is not listed, use the default temperature of
170°F (76°C). If more crispness is desired, remove the lid or
aluminum foil from the food. Most foods can be kept as serving
temperatures of 170°F (76°C). When a combination of foods
are to be kept warm (for example, a meat with two vegetables
and rolls) use 170°F (76°C).
