Convection Cooking

In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually 

distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a 

standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a 

consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more 

evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding 

crustier breads.

During convection baking or roasting, the bake, broil, and 

convection elements cycle on and off in intervals while the fan 

circulates the hot air. During convection broiling, the broil and 

convection elements cycle on and off.
If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan  

will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven  

door is closed.
With convection cooking, most foods can be cooked at a lower 

temperature and/or a shorter cooking time than in a standard 

thermal oven. When using Manual Convect modes, reduce the 

time and temperature when setting the oven. Use the following 

chart as a guide.

Proofing Bread

Proofing bread prepares the dough for baking by activating  

the yeast. Follow the recipe directions as a guide. Proof should  

be used for fresh dough, thawed dough, and for the first and 

second rise.

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 2 and close the oven door.

NOTE:

 If the temperature of the oven is greater than 120°F (49°C), 

“Oven Cooling” will be displayed until the temperature is less than 

120°F (49°C).

1. 

Press PROOF.

2. 

Press START.
Let the dough rise until nearly doubled in size. Proofing time 

may vary depending on dough type and quantity.

3. 

Press CANCEL UPPER when finished proofing.

Before second proofing, shape the dough, place it in baking 

pan(s), and cover loosely. Follow the same placement and  

control steps above. Before baking, remove the cover.

NOTE:

 If the oven temperature is greater than 120°F (49°C), the 

display will indicate “Oven Cooling” until the temperature is below 

120°F (49°C).
