Folding Proofer

Page 2
Professional bread bakers prize the ability to control fermentation
temperatures to produce the best avors in their loaves. Now you have
the same reliability and control as the pros with a counter top proofer
that folds at for storage. The Folding Proofer makes wholesome bread
baking easier than ever with an optimal proong environment plus easy
storage.
Set the digital temperature control lower for a long, slow rise or pre-fer-
mentation. Turn up the heat to give yeast a boost on a cold day, ferment
sourdough or rye at warm temperatures, or for refrigerated dough. A large
window provides a view of the spacious interior where a bowl or two full-
sized loaves t easily. No need to cover the dough as the included water
tray keeps humidity at an optimum level.
Also use this multi-functional kitchen appliance to make yogurt and creme
fraiche, melt and hold tempered chocolate, soften butter, and even keep
chips, crackers and cookies crisp.

INSTRUCTIONS
Please read and keep these in-
structions to obtain the best results
from your Folding Proofer.
SPECIAL
CORDSET
INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is pro-
vided to reduce the risks resulting
from becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are avail-
able and may be used if care is
exercised in their use. If a long
extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the extension
cord must be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the
appliance and the longer cord
should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over uninten-
tionally.
NOTICE
This appliance is for household
use only. Use on Alternate Current
(50/60 Hertz) only with voltage as
indicated on the manufacturer type
plate. Do not attempt to modify the
plug in any way.

GENERAL OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Set Up
Open the lid by lifting the front edge of the proofer. Allow the lid to rest in
a vertical position. Remove the wire rack, power cord and water tray. Lift
the expanding box section from the front edge, fold it open and t into the
base.
Place the water tray into the center of the heating plate. Place the wire
rack into the enclosure with legs down. Lift the lid straight up from the
rear hinges and place onto the top of the expanded box. Lower the lid to
a closed position. Plug the power cord into the proofer and then into an
appropriate receptacle.
Pre-Heat
For best results, the proofer should be pre-heated for 5-10 minutes.
Operation
Plug the proofer in. Press the ON/OFF button once and ensure that
the POWER light is illuminated. Depress the UP or DOWN buttons
to adjust to the desired temperature. Press and hold either the UP or
DOWN button for three seconds to quickly scroll through the temperature
settings.
The HEATING light will illuminate indicating that the heat plate is warming
up. When the proofer reaches its temperature set point the HEATING
light will go off. It is normal for the HEATING light to ash on and off as
the proofer maintains its temperature during use.

The display on the control panel indicates the temperature set point.
The display may be congured to display in °F or °C. To switch between
modes, press and hold both the “Temperature UP” button and the
“Temperature DOWN” button for two seconds.
Humidity Control
The proofer may be operated in a dry or humid condition. To create a
humid condition in the proofer, pour approximately 50ml of water into the
water tray. DO NOT overll the tray. For best results, warm or hot tap
water may be used.
Prepare for storage
If the proofer is ON, press the ON/OFF button once to turn the proofer off.
Ensure that the green POWER light is not on. Remove the lid and rest it
in the rear hinges in an upright position. Unplug power cord from the wall
receptacle and the proofer.
NOTE: The power cord must be unplugged before folding the proofer and
closing the lid.
If the proofer is warm, let it sit with the lid removed until the heating plate
reaches room temperature. Remove the wire rack. Carefully remove the
water tray, dispose of remaining water and set aside. If necessary wipe
surfaces of the proofer with a damp cloth to remove any food residue.
Make sure the proofer is dry before folding for storage. Lift the expanding
box section slightly from the front, then fold by pushing gently in on the
sides and folding the unit towards the back. Lower the folded section into
the base. Place the water tray into the front section of the base. Orient
the wire rack with legs up and place it on the base. Remove the power
cord from the proofer, fold and place on the rear section of the wire rack.
Lower the lid closed and press on the front to ensure that the latch is
engaged.

General Guidelines for
Fermenting Bread Dough in the Proofer
Prepare the Proofer. For bread dough, the proofer should always have
the water tray lled one-third to one-half full with clean water, and the
tray should be placed in the center of the warming plate. The wire rack
goes on top of the water tray. With the sides in place and the lid on top,
set the thermostat and allow the proofer 5-10 minutes to come up to
temperature.
Selecting a Temperature. There is a range of temperatures that work
well for bread dough, and if the recipe or book you are using species a
temperature, consider using that.
• Sourdough often benets from fermenting at a temperature of 27-
30C in order to give the wild yeast a boost.
• Commercial yeast is more vigorous, so doughs made with
it benet from a lower temperature that promotes avor
development, 24-26C.
• Rye our has weaker gluten and higher enzyme activity, so
higher proofer temperatures are appropriate (27-30C) to shorten
fermentation time and keep the enzymes from degrading the
dough too quickly.
• Cold dough that has been retarded in the refrigerator often needs
an extra hour (or more) per 500g of dough added to its rising time
to allow the dough to come up to temperature. Ideally, frozen
dough should be thawed in the refrigerator before proong.
• In a hurry? Mix the dough with lukewarm (32-38C) water and
ferment at up to 30C However, we do not recommend going over
that temperature as the yeast can produce off avors.
Covering the Dough. Most doughs and shaped loaves will not need to
be covered while in the proofer, as the water tray will provide the ideal
humidity to keep the dough from forming a crust. However, if using the
proofer for an extended fermentation, such as an overnight (12 hours)
biga or pre-ferment, it is safest to cover the bowl or container.
Containers like glass or ceramic will eventually build up heat in the
proofer, so consider plastic for very long (overnight) ferments.
