Keep warm Slow cook
This mode is best for keeping oven baked foods
warm for serving after cooking has finished. The
Keep Warm feature uses the hidden bake element
to maintain the temperature within the oven. The
oven can be programmed for Keep Warm at any
temperature between 150°F to 190°F with a default
temperature of 170°F.
Keep Warm Tips
• Always start with hot food.
• Do not use the Keep Warm feature to heat cold
food.
• Food in heat-safe glass and glass ceramic con -
tainers may need higher temperature settings
compared to food in regular containers.
• Avoid repeated openings of the oven, it will allow
hot air to escape and the food to cool.
• Aluminum foil may be used to cover food to
increase moisture content.

This mode may be used to cook foods more slowly, at
lower oven temperatures and provide cooking results
much the same way as a Slow Cooker or Crock-Pot.
The Slow Cook feature is ideal for roasting beef,
pork & poultry. Slow Cooking meats may result in the
exterior of meats becoming dark but not burnt. This is
normal. The Slow Cook mode uses the hidden bake
element to maintain a low temperature in the oven.
There are 2 settings available, high (HI) or low (LO).
The maximum cook time for the Slow Cook feature is
12 hours unless the oven control has been changed
to the Continuous Bake mode.
Slow Cook Tips:
• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking
with the Slow Cook feature.
• When using a single rack, position it in the
center of the oven.
• Position multiple racks to accommodate size of
cooking utensils when cooking multiple food items.
• Do not open the oven door often or leave the
door open when checking foods. If the oven
heat escapes often, the Slow Cook time may
need to be extended.
• Cover the foods to keep them moist or use a
loose or vented type cover to allow foods to turn
crisp or brown.
• Cook times will vary; depending on the weight,
fat content, bone & the shape of the meat.
• Use the recipe’s recommended food
temperature and a food thermometer to
determine when the food is done.
• Preheating the oven will not be necessary when
using the Slow Cook feature.
• Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last
hour of cooking.
