104°F to 320°F Across 13 Levels
The range is the headline. Thirteen levels run from 104°F to 320°F, where most warming trays stop around 212°F. The low end suits proofing dough, softening butter, melting chocolate and gentle defrosting; the middle holds cooked dishes at serving temperature; and the top turns the panel into something close to a low hotplate. One owner set a pot of beef stew to 320°F in the morning, came home ten hours later to a finished meal and found the pot had lost no liquid. Another kept dinner piping hot for an hour and a half across two panels. Treat the top settings as cooking settings. They will keep browning the base of a dish, so for holding a finished buffet the middle of the range is usually better, and anything left on high needs a heavy, covered pot and an eye on it. Smart memory restores the setting you used last, so a repeated routine starts with one press.
