Preface

The EP18/24 & EP18/24/34 Econo Proofers are
designed for retail bakery, in-store bakery and
the donut shop. It features six individual clear
acrylic doors with stainless steel tops, bottoms
and ends, to enable loading and unloading of 3
screens or bun pans per door. This minimizes
heat and humidity loss. The air is recycled every
eighteen seconds.

The EP18/24/34 Econo Proofer has a warning
light that glows when humidity water is low in
the reservoir. In the European Community, the
machines are available with the following
electrical configurations:

• 220/240 volts, 1 phase, 50/60 hertz

A thorough understanding of how to operate,
clean, and maintain the Econo Proofer safely will
prevent production delays and injuries. The
operator must work safely at all times, read and
follow the instructions in this manual, and heed
all warnings, including the following:

• To avoid electrocution or other injury,

turn off the machine’s main power
before attempting any cleaning,
disassembly, adjustment, or repair.

• To avoid damaging the machine, never

use force to assemble, disassemble,
operate, clean, or maintain it.

• Be careful never to get water, or other

materials on the floor. If anything does
get spilled on the floor, mop it up
immediately. Materials on the floor can
cause people to slip or fall, resulting in
serious injury or loss of life.

• To prevent unintentional startup and

possible fire, disconnect the machine
from the power source if there is a local
power outage. When the power is
restored, it is safe to connect the
machine to the power source again.

• To avoid electrocution, make sure that

all electrical cords are not frayed or
cracked and that they do not pass
through any water.

• Make sure that all electrical cords are

routed so that no one will trip over them.

• If water is spilled while cleaning the

proofer, be sure to dry the floor
thoroughly.

Do not permit water pan to run out of water.
Check often. Use only soft or distilled water in
the operation of this proofer.

• Distilled or filtered water must be used

in the proofer to avoid corrosion.
