Proofing bread prepares dough for baking by activating the 
yeast. Proofing twice is recommended.

Before first proofing, place dough in a lightly greased bowl and 
cover loosely with wax paper coated with shortening. Place on 
rack guide 2, then place broiler pan on guide 1. See “Positioning 
Racks and Bakeware” for diagram. Put 2 cups (500 mL) of boiling 
water in broiler pan. Close door.

1. On double ovens only, press UPPER OVEN or, on some 

models, LOWER OVEN.

The cavity symbol will flash indicating which oven was 
chosen. The left cavity symbol is the upper oven, the right 
cavity symbol is the lower oven.

2. Press and hold BAKED GOODS for 5 seconds.

Display will show 100°F (40°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.

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.

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.

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.

1. On double ovens only, press UPPER OVEN.

2. Press the number pads to enter a probe temperature, if other 

than 160°F (75°C). The probe temperature is the desired 
internal temperature of the food when it is done. The default 
probe temperature is 160°F (75°C), but can be changed to 
any temperature between 130°F and 190°F (55°C and 85°C).

3. Press BAKE, CONVECTION BAKE or CONVECTION ROAST.

Press number pads to enter the desired oven temperature, if 
other than the one displayed. The oven temperature is the 
temperature given in the recipe.

4. Press START.

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°F (3°C) 
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.

5. Press CANCEL OFF or UPPER OVEN CANCEL/OFF or open 

the oven door to clear the display and/or stop reminder 
tones.

1. Unplug probe, plug back in, then close oven door.

2. Follow steps 1 through 5 under the “To Use” section.
