Most food placed in the warmer oven should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain moisture and softness. Do not cover crisp foods. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean. The following temperature settings apply to the keep warm feature: • Auto-suggest (default) setting: 170°F/76°C • Min. rapid preheat setting: 150°F/66°C • Max. rapid preheat setting: 190°F/88°C Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the warmer oven.
