Warming Drawer (On Some Models); Proofing Bread; Slow Cook (On Some Models) - KitchenAid KGRS306BSS0 User Instructions

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).
1. Press BREAD PROOF until the desired proof is displayed
("Standrd" or "Rapid"). Rapid Bread Proofing is available only
on some models.
2. Press START.
Let the dough rise until nearly doubled in size. Proofing time
may vary depending on dough type and quantity.
3. Press OFF when finished proofing.
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.
NOTE: If the oven temperature is greater than 100°F (38°C), the
display will indicate "oven cooling" until the temperature is below
100°F (38°C).
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or
after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
The Warming Drawer is ideal for keeping hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. It may also be used for warming breads and pastries.
Different types of food may be placed in the warming drawer at the
same time. For best results, do not hold foods longer than 1 hour.
For smaller quantities, pizza, or heat-sensitive foods, such as eggs,
do not hold longer than 30 minutes.
Food must be at serving temperature before being placed in the
warming drawer. Breads, pastries, and fruit pies may be heated
from room temperature.
Remove food from plastic bags and place in oven-safe container.
Cover foods with a lid or aluminum foil.
Do not cover with plastic wrap.
Empty serving dishes and ovenproof dishes can be heated while
the warming drawer is preheating. Check the dish manufacturer's
recommendations before warming the cookware.
Before using the warming drawer, wash the bottom of the drawer
with soap and water. See "General Cleaning" section.

Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or
after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
The Slow Cook function in the warming drawer cooks food slowly
at a low temperature over a long period of time, similar to a
countertop slow cooker.
There are 2 settings: Hi and Lo. Guidelines for cooking times are 4 to
5 hours for Hi and 8 to 10 hours for Lo. Smaller quantities of food
may require less time, while larger quantities may require more time.
When slow cooking, use oven-safe cookware. Before slow
cooking, thaw frozen foods completely. Cover foods with a lid or
aluminum foil to keep the food moist.
IMPORTANT: Brown roasts thoroughly before starting to slow cook.
Before using the warming drawer, wash the bottom of the drawer
with soap and water. See "General Cleaning" section.
