22 Setting Oven Controls Keep Warm Keep warm is best for keeping oven baked foods warm for serving after cooking has finished. It may be set with cook time and cook time/end time.

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. 1. Arrange interior oven racks. 2. Select an oven by pressing either UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN. 3. Press keep warm to activate the keep warm function. The default temperature of 170°F (76°C) will appear in the display. 4. Press START enter. 5.

Refer to "Cook Time" and "Setting Cook Time with End Time" on page 15 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 (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). To set keep warm with a setting of 150°F (71°C): Food Poisoning Hazard.
