Installation, Operation, and Care of
HPB SERIES PROOF BOXES
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
The HPB Series Roll-In Proof Boxes are one-, two-, or four-rack cabinets for proofing dough. The Proof
Box’s AirWash™ Humidification System provides ideal proofing conditions and includes accurate
controls for temperature, humidity, and time.
Interior and exterior construction is 300 series stainless steel throughout. Interior bumper guards are
provided for the left, right, and rear walls.
Glass door is an option on the single rack model only. Door hinging on the single door unit can be
reversed, if necessary, by a service technician (but a new ramp is required). Two-door units are hinged
on the side walls and open out from the middle. There is no center post. A door closer is provided above
the right hand door.
Proofers may be ordered with either the Proof Box control or with the Thaw Proofer control:
• The Proof Box control is a single-stage control which controls temperature, humidity, and time.
• Thaw Proofer control is a two-stage control that can work just like the Proof Box control; or, it can
also allow an initial Thaw stage to be automatically followed by a Proof stage. Each stage
independently controls temperature, humidity, and time.
