OFF

 positions and engage 

the main power supply. 

 

F.  Check  the  voltage  at  the  terminals  on  the  Power  Terminal  Block  with  a  voltmeter  and  compare 

the readings with the label listings on the side of the unit. If the readings match, the unit is ready 
for its initial START-UP. If the readings 

DO NOT

 coincide you must call the NU-VU

®

 Service 

Department. 

 

G.  Install  any required or desired drain plumbing to the drain fitting in the base of the unit directly 

under the proofer compartment. 

 

H.  Replace the Outside Top. Be careful not to pull or pinch any wires while installing the Panel.

K.  The  Proofer  compartment  of  the  NU-VU

®

  QB-3/9  is  equipped  with  a  bottom  drain  centered 

directly under the Proofer Door. Please install the included Drain Pan [77] in the brackets under 
the Proofer 

if you have not already installed drain plumbing

. This drain prevents the build-up of 

excessive water that may damage the Proofer Motor, Heating or Humidity Element, or a Sensor. 

 

Connection of Optional Water Supply - - 

This  equipment  must  be  installed  in  accordance  with  all  applicable  federal,  state,  province,  and/or  local 
plumbing codes having jurisdiction. 

NU-VU

®

  strongly  recommends that SOFT WATER ONLY be used in any unit requiring a water supply. 

Also, a good quality water filter must be installed in-line between the unit connection and the water supply 
to  guard  against  clogging  and  mineral  build-up  in  the  components.  This  is  extremely  important  in  areas 
having hard water. The water filter may be installed at the water source, adjacent to the water inlet on the 
unit, or anywhere in between, whichever is more convenient for you. 
 

A. 

Run  1/4”  OD  tubing  from  the  water  supply  line  to  the  unit  location.  Allow  some  slack  in  the 
tubing for final unit positioning and any future service requirements. Avoid any kinks or strains 
on the tubing, and position the tubing where it will not be damaged in any way. 

 

B. 

The  tubing  end  that  attaches  to  the  back  of  the  unit  must  not  be  damaged  or  deformed  in  any 
way. The cut end should be cut straight and clean with no deforming of the tubing. All burrs and 
sharp or rough edges should be removed to ensure a proper and leak-free connection. 

 

C. 

Position  the  tubing  so  that  it  runs  straight  into  the  intake  Water  Fitting  [76]  on  the  rear  of  the 
unit. Be careful not to kink the tubing if you bend it, and do not bend the tubing within two (2) 
inches of the cut end.
