Keep Warm
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before
or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
NOTE: The convection fan will shut off when the oven door
is opened. If the oven door remains open for too long, the
heating elements will shut off until the oven door is closed.
All timers, including any active Cook Time or Timed Cook
functions, will continue to count down.
IMPORTANT: Food must be at serving temperature before
placing it in the warmed oven. Food may be held up to 1 hour;
however, breads and casseroles may become too dry if left
in the oven during the Keep Warm function. For best results,
cover food.
The Keep Warm feature allows hot cooked foods to stay at
serving temperature.
To Use:
1. Press KEEP WARM.
2. Press the Temp/Time "up" or "down" arrow keypad until
desired temperature is reached. A tone will sound if the
minimum or maximum temperature is reached.
3. Press START.
4. Place food in the oven.
5. Press CANCEL when finished.
NOTE: The temperature may be changed at any time by
pressing the Temp/Time "up" or "down" arrow keypad to
the desired temperature and then START.
Aluminum Foil
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil
because air must be able to move freely.
Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain
finish, do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven
door or bottom.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow
2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make
sure that no bakeware piece is directly over another.
Racks
Position racks before turning on the oven.
■
Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
■
Make sure racks are level.
■
To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the
front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration
as a guide.

Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks

Oven Vent
A
A. Oven vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven
and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering
the oven vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking
and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper, or other items
that could melt or burn near the oven vent.
