finished. The Keep Warm feature uses the hidden bake element to maintain the
temperature within the oven. The Keep Warm feature may be used with Multi-Stage

automatically when cooking has finished. The oven can be programmed for Keep Warm at
any temperature between 150°F to 190°F with a default temperature of 170°F.
