Warm Fine tuning the oven About warm • The Warm mode will keep hot, cooked foods at serving temperature. ALWAYS start with hot food. DO NOT use this mode to heat cold food other than for crisping crackers, chips and dry cereal. • Serving dishes, plates and cups may be kept warm with this mode. • Warm mode temperatures range from 140°-150°F / 60°-66°C. Food should be at serving temperature (above 140°F / 60°C) before being placed in the oven. • Food may be kept hot in its cooking container or transferred to a heat-safe serving dish. • Aluminum foil may be used to cover food. Use only heat-safe dishes. • DO NOT open the oven door unnecessarily. Opening the door will reduce the temperature of the oven. • When keeping cooked food warm, allow time for the oven to preheat before placing the item in the oven. To set the warm mode: 1. Turn the mode knob to WARM. DO NOT turn the oven temperature knob. 2. Place warmed dish in the oven and close the door. Minimum internal cooking temperatures The minimum internal temperatures that foods must reach to be considered safe to eat, as determined by the U. S Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service, are as follows: About offset The offset feature allows the cook to further fine-tune their cooking parameters to their own personal optimal settings by allowing them to adjust the temperature offset of the oven by +/-25°F in increments of 5°F. For example, if the cook judges the oven temperature as too hot and wants to lower it by 5°F, press the "( " button. To increase the temperature by 5°F, press the ") ". This feature is useful if you find that food is consistently either too brown or too light for your tastes. • The oven must be turned off in order to set an offset value. • The offset feature is available for all modes except Self-Clean. • By default, the temperature is set at 0°. • The unit will continue to run the input offset value indefinitely until the user manually changes it, or until the unit loses power, in which case offset will need to be reset. To set offset: 1. Press SETTINGS. 2. Press the left ( or ) and select OFFSET. 3. Press the right ( or ) to set the temperature. 4. Press ENTER.
