Put bread dough in a bowl/bread pan and place on the metal tray to proof. 20 The proofing feature automatically provides the optimum temperature for the proofing process, and therefore does not have a temperature adjustment . 1. Press the WARM/PROOF pad. 2. Turn the dial to select PROOF BREAD. Press the dial to enter. The oven starts proofing immediately and shows the amount of proofing time completed. ■ 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. NOTES: ■ 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. Use the WARM feature to keep food warm. ■ Proofing will not operate if the oven is too hot. Allow the oven to cool before proofing.
