Using the proofing feature.
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 a dish in
the oven on shelf 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 then the
START pad.
The display will read BRD (bread).
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 KITCHEN TIMER for the
minimum proof time.
When proofing is finished, press
the CLEAR/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.
■ Proofing feature on upper oven only.
■ Proofing will not operate when oven is above
150°F. “HOT” will show in the display.
