OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
REFER TO PAGES ON PROOFER CONTROLS AND COMPONENTS AS NEEDED FOR
DETAILS ON LOCATION AND FUNCTION OF FEATURES.
STEP 1 - Set power switch to “On” position.
Listen for and observe the following:
a. Fan starts and runs
b. Power indicator (built into switch) lights red.
STEP 2 - Depending on local conditions and products to be proofed, set humidity and
temperature controls as follows:
a. Set humidity control to recommended setting between 60 and 70% RH. Observe that
humidity indicator lights up, showing that system is operating to bring humidity in
proofer to set value. When first powered up, control displays actual humidity.
1. Press <SET> button….will display “SP”
2. Press <SET> button again to display or set desired humidity.
3. Press <UP> or <DOWN> arrow buttons to set desired humidity.
4. Press <SET> button again to initiate change….will display “SP”
5. Press <SET> and <DOWN> arrow button at same time or wait one minute to
quit programming and display actual humidity.
b. Set temperature control to recommended setting between 90 and 110 degrees F.
Observe that temperature indicator lights up, showing that system is operating to
bring temperature in proofer to set value.
STEP 3 - Wait 20 - 30 minutes for humidity and temperature inside proofer to stabilize.
NOTES:
1. If humidity is set too high, condensation inside proofer may be excessive and water
will accumulate on floor.
2. Frozen dough products must be completely thawed before proofing.
3. Humidity does not cause dough to rise, but does add moisture to prevent drying.
4. For “crusty bread” products, texture of proofed dough should be soft and pliable to
the touch, not sticky or dry. If the proofed product goes into the oven sticky or dry,
no matter how much steam is added during baking, a proper durable crust will not
form.
STEP 4 - Load product into proofer and proceed with proofing jobs for the day.
NOTE:
When loading and unloading product, keeping “Door Open” time as short as
possible will result in faster proofing and energy savings.
STEP 5 - After unloading last product from proofer at end of work day, set power switch to
“Off” position.
CLEANING
1. At end of workday wipe down inside and outside of proofer.
2. Once a week clean outside of proofer with non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.
