Special Functions
Special functions available are: Proofing and Yogurt.
Follow the instructions in the appropriate section to use the desired special function.
Proofing
To use the Proofing function, begin with the oven at room
temperature.
NOTE: The Proofing function will not activate if the oven
temperature is above 105°F (40°C).
Use the Proofing function to proof dough much faster than at
room temperature.
The Proofing function is optimal for the rising of sweet or savory
dough. Proofing time with this function is reduced by
approximately one-third compared to proofing at room
temperature (68-77°F [20-25°C]).
During the Proofing function, the oven is 105°F (40°C).
■
Cover the dough with a baking cloth before placing it in the
oven.
■
The oven does not have to be preheated.
■
It is recommended to shorten the proofing times as
compared to traditional recipes to keep the dough from
proofing too much during the Preset Foods baking function
(Bread/Cakes) preheat cycle.
First Proofing
■
Place bowl with dough on wire shelf in rack position 1
or 2.
■
Shorten the proofing time by up to one-half compared to
a traditional recipe.
Second Proofing
■
Roll out the dough, then place onto a baking/drip tray.
Use rack position 2 or 3.
■
Short the proofing time by up to one-half compared to a
traditional recipe.

empty the water container and return it to its compartment before

be very clean to avoid introducing unwanted bacteria cultures by
mistake.

empty the water container and return it to its compartment before
closing the oven door.
■
If you use unpasteurized milk, for it to set, it will have to be
heated to above 195°F (90°C) and then left to cool between
90°F (32°C) and 120° (49°C). The optimum temperature is
110°F (43°C).
■
Add approximately 3.5 oz (110 g) of room temperature
existing yogurt with live culture, to 1 qt (1 L) of full cream milk.
The milk and yogurt should have the same percentage fat
content.
■
Put the mix in portion-sized glass dishes. Cover each one
tightly with a lid or heat-resistant plastic wrap. Special yogurt
jars may also be used.
■
Cover with aluminium foil during cooking. Position the
baking/drip tray with the containers on the first shelf. The
oven does not have to be preheated.
