Using the proofing feature (on some models)

The proofing feature maintains a warm environment useful for rising yeast-leavened products.

Safety

How to Set the Oven For Proofing

Place the covered dough in a dish in the oven on shelf 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 then the START pad.

The display will read BRD (bread).

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 KITCHEN TIMER for the minimum proof time.

When proofing is finished, press the CLEAR/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.

■Proofing feature on upper oven only.

■Proofing will not operate when oven is above 150 degrees. “HOT” will show in the display.

Using the gourmet shelf and baking stones (on some models)

The gourmet shelf and baking stones are excellent for baking bread and pizza.

and Cleaning

Carefully place the stones on the offset rack.

Do not drop the stones onto the rack or chipping may occur.

To remove the stones place a hand under the rack and push up on the stones.

■The shelf should be placed in the second rack position from the bottom and the stones carefully placed on it. Preheat to the desired baking temperature.

■Always preheat the stones before using them. For best results do not use baking stones with rising crust pizzas.

When using the gourmet shelf bake at the same temperature and for the same time that you would normally.

■Use a pizza peel (special wood paddle) to place pizza on or off the baking stones. Sprinkle corn meal on the baking stones and the peel to prevent sticking.

■The baking stones become very hot in the oven. Allow the stones to cool before removing them from the oven. Always use a heavy potholder or oven glove when handling the baking stones.

■The stones are made of a porous ceramic material and it is normal for the stones to accumulate stains with use. This will not affect their baking capabilities in any way.

Avoid sudden temperature changes. Don’t place the heated stones on a cold surface or immerse them in water.

■Do not leave the stones in your oven when they are not being used. Baking times and browning may be affected.
