Bread proof
The proofing feature maintains a warm environment useful for rising yeast-
leavened products.
How to set the oven for proofing.
1. Enter the proofing mode.
Press the Bread Proof pad.
2. Start the proofing function. Press the pad. The proofing
feature automatically provides the optimum temperature
for the proof process, and therefore does not have a
temperature adjustment.
3. Press the OFF/CLEAR pad at any time to turn off the proofing feature.
• If you press the BREAD PROOF pad when the oven temperature is
above 100˚F, Hot will appear in the display. Because these functions
produce the best results when started while the oven is cool, we
recommend that you wait until the oven has cooled down and Hot
disappears from the display.
• 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.
• 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.
• For best results, place the dough in a dish in the oven on rack 3 or 4 and
cover the dough with a cloth or with plastic wrap. (The plastic may need
to be anchored underneath the container so the oven fan will not blow it
off.)
