Warm Hold

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.
Hot cooked food can be kept warm in the microwave oven. Warm Hold can be used by itself or can be programmed to follow a cooking cycle. Opening the door during Warm Hold will cancel the function.

Unwrap foods and remove lids (from fruit juice) before defrosting. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks. Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the end of the cycle for more even defrosting. Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. See �Aluminum Foil and Metal� first.
