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.
Temperature Probe
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.

The set oven temperature will appear on the oven display 
throughout cooking.
“Lo°” will appear as the probe temperature until the internal 
temperature of the food reaches 130°F (54°C). Then the 
display will show the temperature increasing in 5° increments.
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.
