To Change Temperature:

1.Press the number pad from the chart.

2.Press START.

Dehydrating

Dehydrating dries food. For additional information, refer to a book written specifically about dehydrating or preserving foods. Dehydration racks and an oven door stop are required, but not supplied with this oven. See “Assistance or Service” section to order.

To Dehydrate:

Before dehydrating, prepare food as recommended in the recipe and arrange on dehydration rack(s). Position racks according to the following chart. See “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for diagram.

NUMBER OF RACKS	RACK POSITION(S)
1	3
2	2 and 4
3	1, 3 and 5

Place the oven door stop over the automatic oven light switch.

1.Press and hold CONVECTION BAKE for 5 seconds.

Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than 140°F (60°C). The dehydrating range can be set between 100°F and 200°F (38°C and 95°C).

2.Press START.

3.Press CANCEL OFF when finished dehydrating.

Proofing Bread

Proofing bread prepares the dough for baking by activating the yeast. Proofing twice is recommended.

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 two, then place broiler pan on guide one. See “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” for diagram. Put 2 cups (500 mL) of boiling water in the broiler pan. Close the door.

1.Press and hold BAKED GOODS for 5 seconds. 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.

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, broiler pan and water and control steps above. Before baking, remove the plastic wrap.

TemperatureProbe

The temperature probe accurately measures the internal temperature of meat, poultry and casseroles with liquid and should be used in determining the doneness of meat and poultry. It should not be used during maxi and econo broiling, convection broiling, dehydrating or proofing bread.

Always unplug and remove the temperature probe from the oven when removing food.

To Use:

Before using, insert the probe into the center of the thickest portion of meat or into the inner thigh or breast of poultry, away from fat or bone. Place food in oven and connect the temperature probe to the jack. Keep probe as far away from heat source as possible. Close oven door.

When the set probe temperature is reached, the oven will shut off automatically and “End” will appear on the oven display.

If enabled, end-of-cycle tones will sound, then reminder tones will sound every minute.

4.Press CANCEL OFF or open the oven door to clear the display and/or stop reminder tones.
