Note: The compressor portion of the
machine has a separate on/off switch
located on the rear of the lower cabinet.
2. Switch the DP to the ON
position.
Note: Initial temperature setting of
150°F has been shown to be acceptable
for most dough formulations; however,
you may have to determine the best
temperature for your own dough by trial
and error testing of your product at
different temperature settings.
3. Set the timer in accordance with
the following information:
2-4 seconds –For warm dough
with moderate yeast content.
2-6 seconds – For room
temperature dough with
moderate yeast content.
6-8 seconds – For cold dough
right out of the refrigerator with
low yeast content.
Remember that the timer does not
actuate until the upper platen mates
with the lower platen and resistance
is felt.
4. Set the thickness control lever to
“thick” or “thin” or anywhere in
between these settings as your
product requires.
Note: Diameter and thickness is
determined through experimenting with
your own dough and is a product of
dough weight, temperature, pressing
time, and thickness setting.

Preventative Maintenance Suggestions
The Doughpro DP machines are
relatively maintenance free. For a long
and trouble-free life, the following
preventative maintenance should be
followed:
Daily Care:
1. Platens: Turn your machine off
and allow to cool down before
attempting to clean. These
platens should only be cleaned
with mild soap and warm water
then wiped off with a clean, soft
cloth or soft sponge. Never use
steel wool or harsh abrasives or
you will cause costly damage.
2. All other exterior surfaces:
Here again a daily wipe down
with mild soap and warm water
will do the job quite nicely.
Never use steel wool or harsh
abrasives or you will cause
costly damage.
Service Problems:
-4- DP 2/04
Contact our factory or approved service
agency (800) 624-6717 (U.S. only).
Note: When contacting factory for
information, parts or service
instructions, it is of the utmost
importance that the serial number of the
machine be provided. This number can
be found on the serial plate located on
the rear of the machine.
