Easyconvect Conversion; Proofing Bread - KitchenAid KERS202BSS Use & Care Manual

Bow Tie True Convection with T.H.E.™ Element
(on some models)
Convection cooking temperatures and times can differ from those
of standard cooking. Depending upon the selected category,
EasyConvect™ conversion automatically reduces the standard
recipe temperature and/or time you input for convection cooking.
Foods are grouped into 4 general categories. Choose the category
most appropriate for the food to be cooked. Use the following chart
as a guide.
SETTING FOODS
MEATS Chicken: whole and pieces
Meat loaf, Roasts: pork, beef and ham
(Turkey and large poultry are not included because
their cook time varies.)
BAKED Biscuits, Breads: quick and yeast
GOODS
Cakes and Cookies
Casseroles
PIZZA Fresh pizza, Frozen pizza
OTHER Frozen convenience foods: french fries,
nuggets, fish sticks, lasagna
Proofing bread prepares the dough for baking by activating the
yeast. Follow the recipe directions as a guide. Standard Proof
should be used for fresh dough, thawed dough, and for the first
and second rise. Rapid Proof (on some models) operates at a
slightly higher temperature than Standard Proof, and it can be used
for the second rise of formed dough.
To Proof:
Before first proofing, place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and
cover loosely with wax paper, coated with shortening. Place on
rack guide 2 and close the oven door.
NOTE: If the temperature of the oven is greater than 100°F (38°C),
"oven cooling" will be displayed until the temperature is less than
100°F (38°C).
True convection adds an electric element around the convection
fan to enhance the cooking performance. This feature enables
three-rack baking in your range. Use the following Convect Options
chart as a guide.

cooking time before time elapses (see "Cook Time" section). At
the end of the stop time, the oven will automatically turn off.
5. Press OFF when finished.
6. Remove food from the oven.

Before second proofing, shape the dough, place it in baking pan(s)
and cover loosely. Follow the same placement and control steps
above. Before baking, remove the cover.
