BAKEr PROOF and WARM
Baking is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the upper and
lower element cycle to maintain the oven temperature:
The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food
items, from pastriesto casseroles. Itcan also be used to roast
meats.
In the Warming mode, the oven uses the upper and lower
element to maintain a low temperature to keep food at serving
temperature.
o Use the Warming setting on the oven to keep foods hot
until ready to serve.
° The Warming mode temperatures are !40 ° - 220 ° R The
default temperature is 170 ° F.
° Foods that need to be kept moist should be covered with
a lid or aluminum foil.
In the Proofing mode, the oven will use the upper and
lower element to maintain a low temperature to proof bread.
Proofing is the rising of a yeast dough.
The Proofing mode temeratures are 85 ° to ! !0 ° R The
default temperature is !00 ° R
° Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that
accomodates the size of the container.
Keep the door dosed and use the oven light to check
the rising of the dough.
*The convection bake temperature is 25°F less than
recommended on packages or recipes. The temperature in
this chart has been reduced 25°R
_*This chart is a guide. Actual times depend on the mixes or
recipes baked. Follow recipe or package directions and reduce
temperature appropriately.
I_ BAKE
Convection Baking is similar to Baking. In this case, heat
comes from the lower heating element and a third element
behind the backwall. The main difference in convection baking
is that the heat is circulated throughout the oven by the
convection fan:
The Convection Bake mode is welFsuited for baking large
quantities of food on multiple racks. It can be used to prepare
cookies, pies, cupcakes, pastries, breads, snack foods and
appetizers among other items.
The benefits of Convection Baking include:
Slight decrease in cooking time
• Three rack cooking (more even browning)
• Higher Volume (yeast items rise higher)
• Cook more items at once
For Best Results:
• Reduce recipe temperature by 25 ° F. Refer to the
Convection Baking chart for examples.
• Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie
sheets without sides.
• Center baking pans side to side on the oven rack.
