How to Set the Lower Oven For Warming
The Warm feature keeps cooked foods hot.
This feature is not designed to reheat cold food.
To use the Warm feature, press the Warm/
Proof pad once and then the Start pad.
To use the Warm feature after Timed Baking or
Roasting, follow these steps:
Press the mode of cooking that you
want to use (Bake, Convection Bake
Multi, Convection Bake 1 Rack or
Convection Roast).
Press the number pads to set the oven
temperature.
Press the Cooking Time pad.
Press the number pads to set the desired
length of cooking time.
Press the Warm/Proof pad once.
Press the Start pad.
To Crisp Stale Items
„ Place food in low-sided dishes or pans.
„ For best results, place the food items in a
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.
How to Set the Lower Oven for Proofing
The proofing feature maintains a warm environment useful for rising yeast-leavened products.
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 Warm/Proof pad twice.The
display will read Brd (bread).
Set the Kitchen Timer for the minimum
proof time.
Press the Start pad.
The oven interior light and convection fan will
come on.
The proofing feature automatically provides the
optimum temperature for the proofing process,
and therefore does not have a temperature
adjustment.
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.
Use the Warm feature to keep hot food warm.
„ Proofing will not operate when oven is above
125°F. “HOT” will show in the display.
