Ensure the humidity cup (if applicable and included) is filled with water and placed correctly. Check that the lid for the proofer is securely in place to trap moisture.
Slow Cooker mode heats unevenly
Ensure the pot used has a flat, even bottom that makes good contact with the heating element. Stir the contents periodically during cooking.
