This product has been shipped securely packed on a wooden pallet, covered with a protective bag and
corrugated shipping container and sealed with durable banding material. Carefully read the following
unpacking instructions and properly dispose of all packaging materials.

To open:

1. Carefully cut and remove banding material.

2. Carefully lift the corrugated container off the product.

3. Remove the protective bag, tear, or tie several knots and appropriately place in a trash
container.

4. Release all wheel brakes.

5. Carefully roll cabinet off pallet.

SETTING-UP

1. Open the carton containing the universal pan supports and install all supports in cabinet. Install

the pan supports from the bottom up leaving one extra (unused) slot at the top of each of the four
uprights.

2. Make certain that the Lexan® water pan cover is properly installed over the cast water pan and

over the louvers in front of the pan.

3. Insert a standard 18” x 26" sheet pan (not provided with proofer) in the slides under the base of

the cabinet. This will serve as a drip pan when cabinet is in use.

4. Place the cabinet in the location where it will be operated. When in position secure the brakes on

the front two wheels. These brakes should always be locked when the cabinet is in use.

OPERATION

1. Make certain that your unit is properly plugged into the correct power source as specified on the
serial number label.

2. Verify that wheel brakes are in locked position (front two casters).

3. Inspect humidity pan for proper water level (1/2 to 3/4 full).

Refer to picture of control panel below for the following steps.

4. Set the temperature control to the desired cabinet temperature. 90°F to 100°F is recommended as
a starting position. Increase or decrease the cabinet temperature as needed to best suit your
application.

5. Set the humidity control to the #3 or #4 position. This can be increased if necessary to suit your
specific application.

6. Make certain that a standard 18" x 26" sheet pan (not provided with proofer) has been inserted as a
drip pan in the slides on the bottom "outside" of the cabinet.

7. Verify that the door(s) is closed and latched.

8. Push the power switch to the "ON" Position. Always use this switch to turn the unit "ON” or "OFF".

humidity that you desire.

10. The cabinet is now ready for product placement and the start of the proofing process.

Note: Different product, or even different batches of the same product may require different cabinet
temperatures and humidity settings. This may result in longer, or possibly even shorter proofing times.
