GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARE CABINET TO USE AS PROOFER
1) PLUG CABINET INTO OUTLET
, making sure it is a properly
grounded power receptacle. Press ON-OFF rocker switch to "ON"
position. The indicating light located on the switch will come on, and
remain on until the rocker switch is turned to "OFF" position.
2) ADD HOT WATER TO THE HUMIDIFIER 12" x 20" PAN.
This pan is located at the bottom of the unit. It is not necessary to
remove the pan to add water. Amount of water required depends on
start-up time, length of proofing, and level of humidity desired.
3) PRE-HEAT THE CABINET
by turning the rocker switch to the "ON"
position, and setting the HEAT control to 100°F. Allow approximately
15-25 minutes of pre-heat time. The door should be kept tightly closed
during this procedure, to obtain the optimum proofing environment.
4) SET PROOF CONTROL
to desired setting. The "PROOF" indicator
light will illuminate, and remain on for the duration of the proofing
cycle. Suggested setting is NO. 5, for uniform raised dough results.
At this setting, the proofing system maintains an optimum 95°- 95%
heat / humidity balance. Below are examples of results at several
temperature / proof setting combinations. As a rule of thumb,
the higher the heat setting, the lower the humidity
, since higher
temperatures will cause more rapid evaporation of the moisture.
EXAMPLE: If heat setting is at 100°F, and proof setting is at #5, it
should result in 96% relative humidity in the interior of the cabinet.
EXAMPLE: If heat setting is at 140°F, and proof setting is at #5, it
should result in 90% relative humidity in the interior of the cabinet.
EXAMPLE: If heat setting is at 152°F, and proof setting is at #5, it
should result in 75% relative humidity in the interior of the cabinet.
NOTE: As with all Proofing cabinets, your results may vary, depending
on cabinet model (size of interior), room temperature and conditions,
pre-heat time, temperature of product going into cabinet, etc. It is
suggested that you experiment with various products at various settings
to achieve optimum, uniform results for your particular application.
5) LOAD THE CABINET
with your product as quickly as possible.
To maintain the best proofing conditions, the door should be tightly
closed when not loading the cabinet, and remain closed for the
duration of the proof time necessary for your product.
NOTE:
You may desire to create a high saturation of moisture in your
cabinet. A DRIP TROUGH has been provided to collect excess cabinet
moisture / run-off and is located below the door. Remove the plug to
drain water from trough, then wipe clean. Drain as often as required.
