  2. Turn oven control knob left until "PrF" appears, then release.
  3. Turn the oven control knob left again to enter Proof Mode.
  4. Oven temperature is preset to 85°F (30°C). Touch Enter to select preset temperature or turn control knob to change temperature.
    • Display alternates between set temperature and "PrF."
    • If the temperature is higher than 110°F, the oven has not entered Proof Mode. Turn bezel to Off, and then repeat the steps above to try again.

Answer:

Dual Fuel Ranges use a combination of broil and bake elements to heat and balance the air to maintain temperature in Proof Mode. This mode is ideal for proofing, or rising bread dough.
  • No need to preheat for Proof Mode.
  • The temperature range is 85-110°F (30-45°C) in Proof Mode.
  • Limit frequent door openings to prevent losing heat and lengthening proofing time.
  • Proof bread in container such as a glass bowl until dough has doubled in size. The time it takes for the dough to double in volume varies from recipe to recipe. Consult the recipe for guidelines.
  • For best results, place a shallow pan with 1 to 3 cups (.2-.7 L) of hot water on rack position 1 to keep the air moist inside the oven cavity.
  • Dual Fuel Range 30" and 36" ovens have Proof. Some 18" ovens have Proof Mode if Proof appears as an option on the oven rotating mode bezel.
  • If the oven is too hot, the oven door should be opened to allow the oven to cool down below 120°F (50°C) to prevent destroying the yeast.
  • Allow at least 1" between edge of pan and walls of oven.
