proofing cabinet.
The heater, or heat drawer, is slid into place on the lower ledges of the cabinet. An electrical power cord is provided
and plugged into the drawer through an access hole in the back of the cabinet. The main power switch on the front of
the drawer, when switched ON, will turn on the light in the switch and turn on the air circulating fan in the drawer. The

The thermostat control knobs are mounted to the left and right of the HEAT/PROOF switch. The left thermostat knob
controls the heat in the cabinet from 1 (approx. 30% relative humidity) to 9 (100% relative humidity). Average setting is 6
