Setting Oven Controls 23
Keep Warm
Keep warm is best for keeping oven baked foods warm for serv-
ing after cooking has finished. It may be set with cook time,
cook time/end time, and multi stage. Keep warm uses the hid-
den bake element to maintain the temperature within the oven.
Keep warm will run continuously or (if used with bake time) until
the time runs out.
To set a keep warm temperature at the default of 170°F
(76°C):
Food Poisoning Hazard. Do not let food sit for more than one
hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food
poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk,
eggs, fish, meat, or poultry should be chilled in the refrigerator
first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for
more than 1 hour before cooking begins and should be removed
promptly when finished cooking. Eating spoiled food can result
in sickness from food poisoning.
To set keep warm with a setting of 150°F (71°C):
Food Poisoning Hazard. Do not let food sit for more than one
hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food
poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk,
eggs, fish, meat, or poultry should be chilled in the refrigerator
first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for
more than 1 hour before cooking begins and should be removed
promptly when finished cooking. Eating spoiled food can result
in sickness from food poisoning.
If changing cooking times, use cook time or end time to make
the desired changes. Refer to “Cook Time” and “Setting Cook
Time with End Time” on page 16 for instructions on how to use
these features.
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. If more crispness is desired, remove the lid or aluminum
foil from the food. Most foods can be kept as serving tempera-
tures of 170°F. When a combination of foods are to be kept
warm (for example, a meat with two vegetables and rolls) use
170°F.
