Installation
DOMESTIC
Use a separate 15 amp AC circuit. Only industrial extension cords with proper wire size should be used; size 16/3 wire for distance up to 25 feet, and size 14/3 for distance up to 50 feet.
INTERNATIONAL
Use a designated 16 amp AC circuit. Only industrial extension cords with proper wire size (2.5 sq. mm) shall be used.
Make sure there is a proper electrical wall outlet located within reach of the cord and plug attached to the press.
Then place the press in an area that allows for “swing clearance”. Note that the upper platen rotates up to 90°, in a backward rotation, to facilitate removal of the dough product after the press cycle has been completed. Also note that the machine requires a vertical, clear space of 33” from the bottom of the machine to the top of the pull handle.

Dough Pressing Operations
SETTING CRUST THICKNESS CONTROL:
*The thickness is determined by dough weight and temperature setting on each platen. Setting crust thickness is as simple as the twist of a dial. The thickness adjustment dial can be located on the top of the DP2000. By means of trial and error, rotate the dial until desired thickness is obtained. **If your platens are polished they have been coated with Platen Saver. This product will prevent dough from sticking and make cleanup much easier. A sample bottle has been included along with an order sheet for your convenience. Note:
Never force the dial past its stop position or damage could occur.
PRESSING DOUGH:
1.First make sure you have the correct type electrical current or serious damage could occur!
2.Press the Power Button in order to turn the machine on. A green light will illuminate above the power button indicating that power is in the machine.
3.Both the upper and lower platens will heat up once you have adjusted your digital control to your desired setting. Note: Different products require different temperature settings. In order to determine the right temperature setting for your product, refer to the following table simply as a guide for starting.

*To achieve consistent size flour tortillas of smaller than 10” you will need to only press 2 at a time as shown in the pictures included with the manual.
Note: Keep in mind that dough formulations may differ, and that you may have to do some trial and error testing of different temperatures and platen pressure to arrive at the proper end result for your particular product.
Also note that the finished, afterpressing diameter of the finished dough piece is determined by the weight of the dough and the amount of pressure applied to the platens.
For best results, your dough should be proofed at room temperature before pressing, but it will also press directly out of your refrigerator. Flour is not required to press a crust and should not be dusted on any part of the machine.
