OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PROOFER - MANUAL HUMIDITY
• Turn the power switch “ON”.
• Fill water pan with hot water (this step is not necessary if your proofer has the optional automatic
humidity.)
• Set thermostat to 100°. Allow approximately 15 minutes to reach temperature.
• Set the humidity control at #2 or #3 setting. At the proper setting your proofer door will have a light
haze on it. If water beads up and runs down the door, the setting is too high. You may need to adjust
according to atmospheric conditions.
Ideal proofing conditions consist of a temperature of 100°F and 60-80% humidity. Proofing times will vary
depending on the handling and the type of dough products. Sugar and yeast must be able to react
properly which takes a certain amount of time. This cannot be altered by adjusting the settings. Correct
proofing is very important for a successful bake.
Make sure your dough is completely thawed and at room temperature (if using frozen dough products)
before placing the products in the proofer! If not, it can take two to three times longer to proof.
HINT: You may want to place the dough (from the retarder) on a room temperature pan - not the cold
pan it was just sitting on. This helps shorten the proofing time. When putting cold pans in the proofer,
you bring the temperature down, taking longer for it to get back to the desired 100° temperature.
WARNING! Low water level or scale build-up in the water pan will cause premature failure of
the humidity system and will void the warranty. Add hot water as needed to keep water level in
pan above 1/2 full.
PROOFER - AUTOMATIC HUMIDITY
• Turn the power switch “ON”.
• Set thermostat to 100°. Allow approximately 15 minutes to reach temperature.
• Set the humidity control at #2 or #3 setting. At the proper setting your proofer door will have a light
haze on it. If water beads up and runs down the door, the setting is too high. You may need to adjust
according to atmospheric conditions.
• Drain humidity system DAILY. Drain valve is located on lower front corner post.
WARNING! By not draining the steam system daily, scale build-up in the steam generator may
cause premature failure of the system.
