• Setting the Automatic Cycle Timers

To set up the control for automatic operation, there are some things that must be determined.

1. When will you bake?

2. How long will it proof?

3. How long will it rest (warm up to room temperature)?

4. When will you load the retarder proofer?

Setting up the automatic timer requires that you work backwards in time. It is always best to do this on

paper first.

• “When you will bake” will be entered into the automatic timer as the Finish time.

• Subtract from the finish time the time required to proof to determine the Start Proof time.

• Subtract from Start Proof how long the product should rest to determine the Start Rest time. By

experience we know that 90 minutes works best for this.

• Next determine when you want to load the retarder with product to determine Start Retard.

• Last subtract 1 hour to allow for adequate cool-down. This is the Start Hold time.

Here is an example:

Say you want to bake frozen bread for French loaves. You will be finished with your proofer at 3:00 PM

or at 15:00. You plan on baking the first load the next day at 8:00 AM, 08:00. You generally proof the

bread for 40 minutes.

• The Finish Time will be 08:00.

• The product will proof for 40 minutes so the Start Proof time will be 07:20.

• The product will need 90 minutes to rest (rise in temperature to room temperature) so the Start

Rest time will be 05:50.

• The retarder/proofer should be allowed 1 hour to cool down so the Start Retard time will be

16:00.

• The Hold Start time will be 15:00.

To enter the start times:

1. Press the Time button to illuminate the LED that indicates Hold Start time. The decimal points

in the hours display will be on to indicate you are setting hours. Press the up or down button to

change the hour of the day, 15. Press the Temperature button to toggle to the minutes display.

The decimal points in the minutes display will indicate you are setting minutes. Use the up or

down buttons to adjust the minutes to 00.

2. Press the Time button to illuminate the LED that indicates Retard Start time. Use the up or

down buttons along with the Temperature button to set 16:00.

3. Press the Time button to illuminate the LED that indicates Rest Start time. Use the up or down

buttons along with the Temperature button to set 05:50.

4. Press the Time button to illuminate the LED that indicates Proof Start time. Use the up or down

buttons along with the Temperature button to set 07:20.

5. Press the Time button to illuminate the LED that indicates Finish time. Use the up or down

buttons along with the Temperature button to set 08:00.
