How to Set the Upper 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).
Touch the PROOF pad 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 optimum temperature for
the proofing process, and therefore does
not have a temperature adjustment.
Set the KITCHEN TIMER ON/OFF for
the minimum proof time.

To Crisp Stale Items
s
Place food in low-sided dishes or pans.
s
For best results, place the food items in
a single layer. Do not stack.
(on some models)
When proofing is finished, touch
the CLEAR/OFF pad.
s
To avoid lowering the oven temperature and
lengthening proofing time, do not open the
oven door unnecessarily.
s
Check bread products early to avoid
over-proofing.
NOTE:
s
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.
s
Proofing will not operate when oven is above
125°F. "HOT" will show in the display.
(on some models)
s
Leave them uncovered.
s
Check crispness after 20–30 minutes.
Add time as needed.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
s
Food should be kept hot in its cooking container
or transferred to a heat-safe serving dish.
s
For moist foods, cover them with an oven-safe
lid or aluminum foil.
s
Fried or crisp foods do not need to be covered,
but can become too dry if warmed for too long.
s
Repeated opening of the door allows the hot
air to escape and the food to cool.
s
Allow extra time for the temperature inside the
oven to stabilize after adding items.
s
With large loads it may be necessary to cover
some of the cooked food items.
s
Remove serving spoons, etc., before placing
containers in the oven.
s
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.
