Range - No Preheat Fresh Reheat Mode

The No Preheat Fresh Reheat mode is a feature available on select model ranges and is perfect for leftovers from the night before, the to-go box from your favorite restaurant, or refreshing soggy fries to ideal crispiness. This No Preheat mode is designed to heat previously cooked and refrigerated foods to serving temperature without having to preheat, saving you time and delivering flawless results.

How to Use the No Preheat Fresh Reheat Mode

When using Fresh Reheat, food should be on a single rack and placed in the oven before or immediately after starting this mode. Reheat mode has two settings:

Reheat Hi: For thinner, smaller foods such as pizza slices or French Fries, arranged in a single layer.
Reheat Lo: For thicker foods, larger quantities of food, or foods that are prone to over-browning, such as casseroles or muffins.

Activating the No Preheat Fresh Reheat Mode

Press the Fresh Reheat pad:
- Once for Reheat High
- Twice for Reheat Low
Then press Start

Since the Fresh Reheat mode does not have a timing function, you will want to check your food for doneness and food temperature to determine when it is reheated. You can use the Timer On/Off as simply a countdown timer to alert you when to check your food. You can also set up the Cook Time feature with the Reheat mode, which will turn the oven off at the end of the cook time. For timing guidelines, see the Reheat Cooking Guide below or in your Owner's Manual.

A Cooking Guide for the Fresh Reheat Mode

Designed to keep the temperature guesswork out of reheating, there is not a specific temperature target when using the Reheat feature. The setting (High or Low) and time you select should be based on the food type you are reheating.

FOOD TYPE	RECOMMENDED SETTING	APPROXIMATE REHEAT TIME	NOTES
Regular or Thin Crust Pizza	High	10-15 minutes	Leave uncovered
Thick Crust Pizza	High	10-20 minutes	Leave uncovered for crisper texture, cover with foil for softer texture
Grilled Sandwiches or Sliders	High	12-20 minutes	Leave uncovered for crisper texture, cover with foil for softer texture
Thin Meats and/or Small Vegetables	High	15-25 minutes	Leave uncovered
Fried Foods such as French Fries or Chicken Tenders	High	10-30 minutes	Leave uncovered
Pancakes or Waffles	High	10-15 minutes	Leave uncovered for crisper texture, cover with foil for softer texture

Fresh Reheat Cookware Guidelines

Cookware used in the Fresh Reheat mode must be oven-safe.
Metal pans are recommended. However, if you choose to use non-metal cookware such as glass or ceramic, it is important to check the cookware manufacturer’s instructions to determine if cookware can be used.
It may be necessary to transfer your food to a different container than what it was refrigerated in because many non-metal storage containers cannot withstand the rapid changes in temperature that occur when using the Fresh Reheat mode.

General Tips for the Fresh Reheat Mode

Do not preheat the oven when using Fresh Reheat mode.
Rack position 3 is recommended when using the Fresh Reheat mode.
Leave your food uncovered if a crispy texture is desired.
Foods can be covered with aluminum foil when reheating, noting the following results:
- Covered food will retain more moisture compared to uncovered food.
- Covered food will take longer to reheat than uncovered food.
Thinner layers of food will reheat more quickly than thicker layers.
Make sure the food you are reheating has been stored properly, and check the internal food temperature after reheating to confirm the minimum safe temperature has been reached. Food safety guidelines can be found at foodsafety.gov.
