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 the Start keypad.
4. Place food in the oven.
5. Press the Cancel keypad when finished.
NOTE: The temperature may be changed at any time by pressing
the Temp/Time up or down arrow keypad to reach the desired
temperature and then pressing the Start keypad.
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 Cookies and Layer Cakes on Two Racks
Baking Layer Cakes
For best results when baking cakes on two racks, use the Bake
function, a flat rack in rack position 4, and a flat rack in rack
position 2. Place the cakes on the racks as shown. Keep at least
3" (7.6 cm) of space between the front of the racks and the front
cakes.
Baking Cookies on Two Racks
For best results when baking cookies on two racks, use the
Convect Bake function and place flat racks in positions 2 and 5.
Oven Vent
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.
