Convect Conversion

(single and upper ovens)

Convection temperatures and times differ from those of standard cooking. The oven can automatically reduce standard recipe temperatures and times for convection cooking.

The conversion may not be exact because foods are grouped in general categories. To ensure optimal cooking results, the oven will prompt a food check at the end of a non-delayed cook time. Use the following chart as a guide.

Proofing Bread

Proofing bread prepares dough for baking by activating the yeast. Proofing twice is recommended unless the recipe directs otherwise.

1.On double ovens only, touch UPPER OVEN.

The cavity symbol will indicate which oven was chosen.

2.Press and hold BREAD PROOF for 5 seconds. Display will show 100°F (38°C).

3.Press START.

Let dough rise until nearly doubled in size, check at 20 to

25 minutes. Proofing time may vary depending on dough type and quantity.

4.Press CANCEL or UPPER CANCEL when finished proofing.
