How to set
the 12
″
oven for
proofing
(48 ″ ranges only)
The proofing feature maintains a warm,
non-drafty environment useful for proofing
yeast-leavened products.
1 Place the dough in a dish in the small oven.
2 Push in the PROOF selector button on the
left hand side of the control panel above the
thermostat dial.
• The OVEN ON light and oven interior light
turn on.
• The HEATING light will not turn on.
• The thermostat dial does not affect the proof
temperature.
3 Set a minute timer for the minimum proof
time. When proofing is finished, push the
OFF selector button.
• To avoid lowering the oven temperature and
lengthening proofing time, do not open the
oven door unnecessarily.
Proofing time may be decreased when you use
the large oven at the same time you are
proofing.
Check bread products early to avoid over-
proofing.
For optimum results, if you are using the
large oven for extended periods of time, it is
recommended that you complete the proofing
before turning the large oven on.
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 (above 140°F.).
