Warming Tips and Techniques
• Call on your oven Warming mode to keep foods hot until you are ready to serve them.
• The Warming mode default temperature is preprogrammed at 170°F (75°C).
• Warming mode temperatures available are 100°F to 210°F (38ºC to 99ºC).
• Recommended safe temperatures for keeping foods hot are between 140°F and 210°F (66ºC to 99ºC).
Use the chart below as a guide.
• Foods needing to be kept moist should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.
Dehydrate Tips and Techniques
• Dehydrating can be done using the Dehydrate mode. A lower temperature is used and the circulating
heated air slowly removes the moisture for food preservation.
• The Dehydrate mode temperature is preprogrammed at 140ºF (60ºC).
• The Dehydrate mode temperatures available are 120ºF (49ºC) to 160ºF (71ºC).
• Multiple racks can be used simultaneously.
• Some foods require as much as 14-15 hours of time to fully dehydrate.
• Consult a food preservation book for specific times and the handling of various foods.
• This mode is suitable for a variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs and meat strips.
• Drying screens can be purchased at specialty kitchen shops.
• By using paper towels, some food moisture can be absorbed before dehydrating begins (such as with
sliced tomatoes or sliced peaches).
• The Warming mode may be used for proofing (rising) yeast dough and for defrosting.
• Set the oven to 100°F (38ºC) for proofing dough or for defrosting frozen foods.
• For proofing yeast dough, loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that accomodates the size of the
bowl or pan.
• Keep the oven door closed and use oven light to check the rising of the dough.
• Use the reminder of the oven Timer to check the proofing of dough or defrosting of food.
