EasyConvect
(on some models)
Convection cooking temperatures and times can differ from
those of standard cooking. Depending upon the selected
category, EasyConvect™ conversion automatically may reduce
the standard recipe temperature and/or time you input for
convection cooking.
Foods are grouped into 3 general categories. Choose the
category most appropriate for the food to be cooked. To ensure
optimal cooking results, the oven will prompt a food check at the
end of a non-delayed cook time. Use the following chart as a
guide.

Proofing Bread

(on some models)
Proofing bread prepares the dough for baking by activating the
yeast. Follow the recipe directions as a guide.
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.
1. Press BREAD PROOF. The display will show 100°F (38°C).
2. Press START.
Let the dough rise until nearly doubled in size, checking after
20-25 minutes. 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 with plastic wrap, coated with cooking
spray. Follow the same placement and control steps above.
Before baking, remove the plastic wrap.
