PROOFING
The proofi ng feature maintains a warm environment useful for rising yeast-leavened products.
How to set the oven for proo ng
1. Enter the proofi ng mode.
Press the PROOF pad.
2. Start the proofi ng function.
Press the SET/START pad.
The proofi ng feature automatically provides the optimum
temperature for the proof process, and therefore does not have a
temperature adjustment.
3. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad at any time to turn off the proofi ng
feature.
If you press the 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 proofi ng time, do not open the
oven door unnecessarily.
Check bread products early to avoid over-proofi ng.
Do not use the proofi ng mode for warming food or keeping food hot. The proofi ng oven
temperature is not hot enough to hold foods at safe temperatures. Use the keep warm
feature to keep food warm.
For best results, 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).
