To Crisp Stale Items s Place food in low-sided dishes or pans. s For best results, place the food items in a single layer. Do not stack. s Leave them uncovered. s Preheat on LOW setting. s Check crispness after 45 minutes. Add time as needed. CAUTION: Do not keep food in the warming mode for more than 2 hours. IMPORTANT NOTES: s Food should be kept hot in its cooking container or transferred to a heat-safe serving dish. s Food in heat-safe glass and glass ceramic pans may need a higher thermostat setting as compared to food in metal pans. s For moist foods, cover them with an oven-safe lid or aluminum foil. s Fried or crisp foods do not need to be covered, but can become too dry if warmed for too long. s Repeated opening of the door allows the hot air to escape and the food to cool. s Allow extra time for the temperature inside the oven to stabilize after adding items. s With large loads it may be necessary to use a higher thermostat setting and cover some of the cooked food items. s Remove serving spoons, etc., before placing containers in the oven. s Do not use plastic containers, lids or plastic wrap. CAUTION: Plastic containers, lids or plastic wrap will melt if placed in the oven. Melted plastic may not be removable and is not covered under your warranty. To Warm Serving Bowl and Plates To warm serving bowls and plates, set the control on LOW. s Use only heat-safe dishes. s Place the empty dishes on the rack. If you want hotter dishes or want to heat fine china, please check with the manufacturer of the dishes for their maximum heat tolerance. s The empty serving dish will heat while the oven is preheating. s When holding hot, cooked foods and warming empty serving dishes at the same time, place the serving dishes on a higher rack position and the food on a lower rack position. CAUTION: Dishes may be hot. Use pot holders or mitts when removing hot dishes.
