Proofing Bread
Proofing bread prepares the dough for baking by activating
the yeast. Follow the recipe directions as a guide. Proof should
be used for fresh dough, thawed dough, and for the first and
second rise.
To Proof:
Before first proofing, place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and
cover loosely with wax paper, coated with shortening. Place on
rack guide 2 and close the oven door.
NOTE:
If the temperature of the oven is greater than 120°F (49°C),
“Oven Cooling” will be displayed until the temperature is less than
120°F (49°C).
1.
Press PROOF.
2.
Press START.
Let the dough rise until nearly doubled in size. Proofing time
may vary depending on dough type and quantity.
3.
Press CANCEL UPPER when finished proofing.
Before second proofing, shape the dough, place it in baking
pan(s), and cover loosely. Follow the same placement and
control steps above. Before baking, remove the cover.
NOTE:
If the oven temperature is greater than 120°F (49°C), the
display will indicate “Oven Cooling” until the temperature is below
120°F (49°C).

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
Meat Probe
The meat probe accurately measures the internal temperature of
meat, poultry, and casseroles with liquid and should be used in
determining the doneness of meat and poultry.
This meat probe operates as an independent device and is not
plugged into the oven. Follow the meat probe directions for using
the meat probe.
To avoid damage to the meat probe, do not leave the meat probe
in self-cleaning ovens while the cycle is running.
Baking Drawer
The baking drawer is highly recommended for baking frozen
foods. Use the temperature and medium cook time given on
the frozen food packaging. For example, if the packaging
suggests a cook time of 15 to 20 minutes, set the cook time
for 17 minutes. Check food for doneness before removing
from the baking drawer.
The baking drawer may also be used for conventional baking,
slow cooking, and keeping hot cooked foods warm. It is not
recommended to prepare foods taller than the height of the baking
drawer rack handles or foods that may rise above 2½" (6.4 cm) in
the baking drawer.
IMPORTANT:
Always use the baking drawer rack when using the
baking drawer.
See the “General Cleaning” section for more information.
