Easyconvect ™ Conversion; Proofing Bread; Cook Time - KitchenAid ELECTRIC RANGE User Instructions

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).
WARNING
