PROOF
The Proof mode uses heat from the oven lights and air movement from the
convection fan to maintain a gently warm oven temperature at around 86°F
(30°C) for rising yeast-leavened products before baking. Preheating is not
required. Place dough centrally near the middle racks, and cover dough well
to prevent drying out. Check bread products early to avoid over-proofing.
Setting the Proof Mode
1. Press PROOF once.
2. Place the food in the oven.
3. Press START/ENTER.
4. To cancel the Proof mode, press CLEAR/OFF.
NOTE:
Proof mode will not start if the oven temperature is too warm.
To avoid lowering the oven temperature and lengthening proofing
time, do not open the oven door unnecessarily.
Do not use the Proof mode for warming food or keeping food hot. The
proofing oven temperature is not hot enough to keep foods at safe
temperatures. Use the Keep Warm mode to keep food warm.
KEEP WARM
The Keep Warm mode uses heat from the lower heating element primarily
and the upper heating element to maintain oven temperature at around
150°F (65°C) and keep cooked food warm for serving up to 3 hours after
cooking has finished. Cover foods that need to remain moist and do not cover
foods that should be crisp. Preheating is not required. This mode should not
be used to reheat cold food. It is also recommended that food not be kept
warm for more than 2 hours.
Setting the Keep Warm Mode
1. Press PROOF twice.
2. Place or keep the food in the oven.
3. Press START/ENTER.
4. To cancel the Keep Warm mode, press CLEAR/OFF.
