Dehydrating
(single,upperand,onsomemodels,loweroven)
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 of rack positions.

Proofing bread prepares dough for baking by activating the yeast. Proofing twice is recommended.
To Proof:
Before first proofing, place 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 broiler pan. Close door.

Before second proofing, shape dough, place in baking pan(s) and cover loosely with plastic wrap coated with cooking spray. Follow same placement, broiler pan and water and control steps above. Before baking, remove plastic wrap.
TemperatureProbe
(singleandupperovensonly)
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.
