Is the "Keep-warm Mode" automatic or do you have to program it in?

Hello Gary,You have to program it in. Unfortunately there isn't an automatic feature on this model. You can maybe find on the later and larger models.This is still a great oven, even with the programming functionality. I wish you luck in your search for a Infrared Halogen oven.

It's automatic. It stays on for up to three hours. This is hands down the BEST halogen oven on the market.

I have the battery powered version of this. But I assume it works same as the battery version which does auto switch from heat to cool mode.

Pretty sure its not autostart cuz i usually hit the right button; but the non-wireless f14 i had before i think was automatic.

It will automatically cycle between heating and cooling modes. If you hit the heat threshold, it will call for heat. If you hit the cool threshold, it will call for cool. It doesn't have a heat or cool mode - it's full auto.

Its not programable, it comes with preset settings and yes it will stay on the same setting it was on before it is turned off or died

I haven't programmed the unit. I just set the switch to either heat or cool, then the temp. I want maintained.

No. It stays on at the set temperature which is a plus in some case. There are others that have auto-off.

I just set it back and retap the keep warm setting and on button again. I think it only keeps warm till its removed then u have to set it again. It jsut won't need to heat up again.

It does not prevent you from manually turning it on. It keeps the programming!

Yes. Just set to the desired temperature and power mode (Low, Med, High). It will automatically adjust the power to maintain that temperature. I just leave my unit on continuously. I Occasionally adjust the temperature and mode if the weather will be changing drastically. No need to use the timer.

It is thermostatically controlled. Set the temperature and it will turn on and off to maintain that temperature. There are no other programmable functions.

Both! You can set it to change automatically between heat and cool, or you can force it to change to whichever one you want. I've always done it manually, because such a changeover often occurs when the temperatures outside/inside don't require EITHER heat or cool, so I just wait until I feel the need for heating or cooling. Hope this helps.

no it is just automatic or understood that it is on whenever the unit is running for heat/fan

NO. But what I did, is used the delay function timed to come on later. If I didn't make it home when the food was done, the MaxiMatic switches to Keep Warm.

No...manual switch required. Has a timer setting, thermostat and fan speed, but stays in mode selected.

You can manually turn on and off the fan if you wish, without heat or cool being activated. But there is no way to program it to turn on ONLY the fan. You set high and low temps within each of the four programming times of day and the start and end times of those time frames. It will not turn on the fan automatically without heating or cooling. It does a great job and you can program the four time frames differently for each day of the week, if you wish. We love it and have two of them.

Automatically...no. You would have to switch it to low manually. The "cook time" setting will only work on either "high" or "low", and then switch to "keep warm".
