Keep Warm

IMPORTANT: Food must be at serving temperature before placing it in the warmed oven.

The steam-assisted Keep Warm function adds moisture into the oven to keep food from drying out, keeping food warm and moist before serving.

Do not use Keep Warm to heat cold food. Use only cooked, hot foods with Keep Warm.

Follow manufacturer’s recommendations when warming empty serving bowls and plates.

For best results, do not cover food with foil or lids.

Use rack positions 1-4. Do not place food on top rack.

Check food occasionally if left in the oven for more than

1hour.

For best results, hold food in Keep Warm for no longer than

4hours.

The following chart provides recommendations for different foods within a range of temperatures. The temperature range can be set between 145°F and 200°F (63°C and 93°C). Use these temperatures as a guideline and adjust as required for smaller or larger pieces and quantities of food.
