Using the proofing and warming features.
The proofing feature maintains a warm environment useful for rising yeast-leavened products.
How to Set the Oven for Proofing
Place the covered dough in the oven on
rack B or C .
NOTE: For best results, cover the dough with a
cloth or with greased plastic wrap (the plastic
may need to be anchored underneath the
container so the oven fan will not blow it off).
Press the Proof pad and Start pad . .
The display will read PrF (proof) .
The oven interior light turns on and remains
on during proofing .
The proofing feature automatically provides
the optimum temperature for the proofing
process, and therefore does not have a
temperature adjustment .
Set the Timer for the minimum proof
time .
How to Set the Oven for Warming

To Crisp Stale Items
Place food in low-sided dishes or pans .
■

■
single layer . Do not stack .
Leave them uncovered .
■
Check crispness after 20-30 minutes . Add
■
time as needed .
When proofing is finished, press the Off
pad .
To avoid lowering the oven temperature
■
and lengthening proofing time, do not open
the oven door unnecessarily .
Check bread products early to avoid over-
■
proofing .
NOTE:
Do not use the proofing mode for warming
■
food or keeping food hot. The proofing oven
temperature is not hot enough to hold foods
at safe temperatures. Use the Warm feature
to keep hot food warm.
Proofing will not operate when oven is
■
above 125°F (52°C). "HOT" will show in the
display.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Food should be kept hot in its cooking
■
container or transferred to a heat-safe
serving dish.
For moist foods, cover them with an oven-
■
safe lid or aluminum foil.
Fried or crisp foods do not need to be
■
covered, but can become too dry if warmed
for too long.
Repeated opening of the door allows the hot
■
air to escape and the food to cool.
Allow extra time for the temperature inside
■
the oven to stabilize after adding items.
With large loads it may be necessary to cover
■
some of the cooked food items.
Remove serving spoons, etc., before placing
■
containers in the oven.
Do not use plastic containers, lids or plastic
■
wrap.
CAUTION: Plastic containers, lids or plastic
wrap will melt if placed in the oven. Melted
plastic may not be removable and is not
covered under your warranty.
