for about 90 minutes.
The “Proof” mode is the time when the dough product is conditioned for
baking. Proofing allows the yeast or leavening agent to do its work and
make the dough puff up. Proofing should also keep the dough from skinning over
while the dough is rising. Recommended settings are 90 degrees F and 80%
relative humidity.
To select a manual mode, press the button marked with the process you wish to use.
• Setting Process Temperature and Humidity
Each process has a specific temperature setting. Rest and Proof also have specific humidity
settings. To set the temperature and humidity for each process:
1) Select manual mode with the “Auto/Manual” button.
2) Select the process you wish to set.
3) Press the “Temperature” button below the temperature display. The temperature
display will show the current set point.
4) Press the up or down arrow buttons below the time display to adjust the
temperature set point. This temperature setting will only affect the process you have

5) Press the “Temperature” button to return the downplay to the actual temperature.
Note: When the process is selected and the temperature or humidity set point is shown, the
