How to Set the Oven For Proof
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).
Place the covered dough in the oven
on rack B or C.
Select FEATURES , then MORE , then
PROOF and then START .
The interior oven lights turn on and
remain 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.
How to Set the Oven For Warmer
The warmer feature can be activated
independently to keep hot, cooked
foods warm. This feature is not designed
to reheat cold food.
To use this feature, select FEATURES , then
WARMER , then 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.
How to Set the Oven For Warm
The warm feature (cook and hold)
automatically keeps hot cooked foods
warm for up to 3 hours after a TIMED
BAKE is finished.
To turn this feature ON or OFF , select
FEATURES , then MORE , then WARM .

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 WARMER
feature to keep hot food warm.
■
Proofing will not operate when oven is above
125°F. "OVEN TOO HOT" will show in the
display.
■
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.
