How to Set the Oven for Warming
Warm keeps cooked foods warm for up to
3 hours after the cooking function is finished,
or it can be activated independently to keep
already cooked foods warm.
This feature is not designed to reheat cold
food.
To use this feature independently, press
the WARM/PROOF pad once and then the
START pad.
To activate this feature for use after Timed
Baking or Roasting, press the WARM/PROOF
pad once while programming the oven and
before pressing START.
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 Oven for Proofi ng
The proofing feature maintains a warm
environment useful for rising yeast-leavened
products.
1 Place the covered dough in a dish 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).
2 Press the WARM/PROOF pad twice and then
the START pad.
The display will read "PrF" (proof).
The oven interior light turns on and remains
on during proofing.
The proofing feature automatically provides
the desired temperature for proofing and
therefore does not have a temperature
adjustment.
3 Set the TIMER ON/OFF for a maximum
of 1 hour. Depending upon the recipe, bread
may complete proofing in less than 1 hour.
Check bread as needed for progress.
4 After 1 hour of proofing, press the
CLEAR/OFF pad. If proofing is not
complete, leave the bread in the closed
oven until it reaches the desired height.
• 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.
NOTES:
• 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 food warm.
• Proofing feature on upper oven only.
• Proofing will not operate when oven is above
125°F. "HOT" will show in the display.
