Warm; Proof (Some Models); Dehydrate - Thermador POD301 Use And Care Manual

Warm Dehydrate
CAUTION:
When using Warm mode, follow these
guidelines:
Do not use the Warm mode to heat cold
food.
• Be sure to maintain proper food
temperature. The USDA recommends
holding hot food at 140 °F or warmer.
• DO NOT warm food longer than one
hour.
In Warm, the upper and lower
1_1 elements maintain a low temperature
in the oven cavity in order to keep
food at serving temperature.
• Use the Warm mode to keep cooked foods hot until
ready to serve.
Warm mode temperatures are 140 °F-220 °R
The default temperature in the Warm mode is 170 °F.
Foods that must be kept moist should be covered with
a lid or aluminum foil.
Dehydrate dries with heat from a
third element behind the back wall of
the oven. The heat is circulated
throughout the oven by the
convection fan.
Use Dehydrate to dry and/or preserve foods such as fruits,
vegetables and herbs. This mode holds an optimum low
temperature (100 °F - 160 °F) while circulating the heated
air to slowly remove moisture. The oven stays on for 48
hours before shutting off automatically.
Tips:
• Dry most fruits and vegetables at 140 °F. Dry herbs at
100 °F (refer to the Dehydrate Chart for examples).
• Drying times vary depending on the moisture and
sugar content of the food, the size of the pieces, the
amount being dried and the humidity in the air. Check
food at the minimum drying time.
• Multiple drying racks (not included) can be used
simultaneously.
• Treat fruits with antioxidants to avoid discoloration.
• Consult a food preservation book, county Cooperative
Extension Office or library for additional information.
Proof (some models)
@
In Proof, the oven uses the upper
and lower elements to maintain a low
temperature to proof bread or other
yeast doughs.
• Proofing is the rising of yeast dough.
• The Proof mode temperature range is 85 °F to 110 °F.
• The default temperature in the Proof mode is 100 °F.
• Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that
accommodates the size of the container.
• Keep the door closed and use the oven light to check
the rising of the dough.
