D. Set the Proofer Timer [36] as a reminder to check your proof. Remember to turn the Timer knob
past
, then
back to
, the desired time for best accuracy. If your unit is equipped with the optional
99-Minute Digital Timers, please refer to page 13 for instructions on how to operate the Timer.
E. Monitor the proofing process. Your Proofer is functioning properly if there is a light to moderate
fogging on the Proofer Door. No fogging means your Proofer may be running too hot, too dry, or
both. Excessive fogging (with water running down the glass) means your Proofer may be running
too cold, too wet, or both. Check the product and adjust the Proofer Temperature and Humidity
Controls as necessary.
TIP: If water accumulates on the floor in front of your Proofer from drippings out of the
Proofer Door you are probably proofing with too much humidity. Decrease the Humidity
Control setting. If water on the floor is a constant problem for you please call the NU-VU

F. Load the Oven when your product is fully proofed. Yeast products should be 65% to 75% of the
desired finished size at the end of the proof cycle. Generally speaking, properly proofed bread
should have a soft, silky smooth feel to it when touched. It should never be anything more than
slightly tacky. If the dough sticks to your finger and does not pull off cleanly, the dough is too
wet.
For the Optional AUTOMIST Proofer - -
Begin to pre-heat the Proofer section of the QB-3/9 about 20 to 30 minutes before its scheduled use.
A. Set out the desired product for thawing. Be sure to allow sufficient time in your schedule for both
the product and your equipment to reach the correct conditions.
B. Prepare the Proofer:
1.
Set the Proofer Power Switch [31] to
ON
.
2.
Set the Proofer Temperature Control [32] to the required setting. Begin preheating the
Proofer at least 20 minutes prior to its scheduled use.
3.
Make sure water is being supplied to the Proofer, but leave the Proofer Humidity Control
[81]
OFF
. An AUTOMIST unit injects water directly into the air in the Proofer, raising the
internal humidity level almost immediately. Running an AUTOMIST unit for an extended
time without product in the Proofer may cause an excessive build-up of water in the Proofer.
4.
The Proofer is ready for use when the Temperature Indicator Light [82] goes out.
