The proofing feature maintains a warm environment useful for rising yeast-leavened products.
How to Set the Oven for Proofing
Place the covered dough in the oven on
rack B or C .
NOTE: For best results, cover the dough with a
cloth or with greased plastic wrap (the plastic
may need to be anchored underneath the
container so the oven fan will not blow it off).
Press the
Proof
pad and
Start
pad . .
The display will read
PrF
(proof) .
The oven interior light turns on and remains
on during proofing .
The proofing feature automatically provides
the optimum temperature for the proofing
process, and therefore does not have a
temperature adjustment .
Set the
Timer
for the minimum proof
time .
When proofing is finished, press the
Off
pad .
■
To avoid lowering the oven temperature
and lengthening proofing time, do not open
the oven door unnecessarily .
■
Check bread products early to avoid over-
proofing .
NOTE:
■
Do not use the proofing mode for warming
food or keeping food hot. The proofing oven
temperature is not hot enough to hold foods
at safe temperatures. Use the
Warm feature
to keep hot food warm.
■
Proofing will not operate when oven is
above 125°F (52°C). “HOT” will show in the
display.

To Crisp Stale Items
■
Place food in low-sided dishes or pans .
■

single layer . Do not stack .
■
Leave them uncovered .
■
Check crispness after 20-30 minutes . Add
time as needed .
IMPORTANT NOTES:
■
Food should be kept hot in its cooking
container or transferred to a heat-safe
serving dish.
■
For moist foods, cover them with an oven-
safe lid or aluminum foil.
■
Fried or crisp foods do not need to be
covered, but can become too dry if warmed
for too long.
■
Repeated opening of the door allows the hot
air to escape and the food to cool.
■
Allow extra time for the temperature inside
the oven to stabilize after adding items.
■
With large loads it may be necessary to cover
some of the cooked food items.
■
Remove serving spoons, etc., before placing
containers in the oven.
■
Do not use plastic containers, lids or plastic
wrap.
CAUTION: Plastic containers, lids or plastic
wrap will melt if placed in the oven. Melted
plastic may not be removable and is not
covered under your warranty.
