Standard Proofer ...................................................................................................................................... 6
The HPC Proofer and HRP Retarder/Proofer cabinets proof racks of dough products under controlled
temperatures and humidity prior to baking. There are several options to choose from. The standard
proofers are equipped to proof dough only. Proofers with Fas-Thaw quickly thaw frozen dough. The
Automatic Thaw/Proof feature adds the flexibility of programming times to automatically thaw and proof
in one operation. Proofer/Retarders gradually thaw frozen dough. They operate like a refrigerator by
keeping the interior cool. They also provide an excellent environment for storing dough. The cooler
temperature slows the yeast fermentation process and prevents the dough from rising. The Automatic
Retard/Proof feature adds the flexibility of programming times to automatically retard and proof in one
operation.
The HPC Proofers and HRP Retarder/Proofers offer a unique modular design, allowing for a wide
variety of sizes in both standard and pass-through models. They can be ordered as one-, two-, or threesection roll-in or roll-through models. All HPC Proofer and HRP Retarder/Proofer cabinets have easyto-clean stainless steel interior and exterior panels.
Models HPC100, 200, and 300 Proofers and HRP100 and 200 Retarder/Proofers must be installed and
serviced only by authorized Hobart Bakery Systems trained service technicians.
It is suggested that you thoroughly read this manual and carefully follow the instructions provided.

OPERATION
The following pages cover the operation procedures for the various control options of the HPC Proofer
and HRP Retarder/Proofer cabinets. The control panels come in four configurations: standard proofer,
proofer with Fas-Thaw, proofer retarder, and proofer/retarder with Fas-Thaw.
START-UP
The HPC Proofer and HRP Retarder/Proofer cabinets have two toggle switches located above the
main control panel marked OFF/ON LIGHTS and OFF/ON POWER.
OFFON
POWER
1. To power up the HPC Proofer and HRP Proofer/Retarder cabinets, flip the toggle switch marked
POWER to the ON position.
2. The control display will light up, all other functions - proof, thaw, retard, or automatic cycles
(depending which model) - will not be active until that specific function key is pressed.
3. To turn on the interior lights, flip the toggle switch marked LIGHTS to the ON position.
4. You are now ready to begin proofing operations.

PROOFING
Controlled temperature and humidity in the proofer promotes yeast fermentation which generates gas
and causes the dough to rise. Proofing takes from 45 – 60 minutes, depending on the product. A
temperature setting of 95°F (35°C) and humidity at 85% are typical but will vary slightly, depending on
the product being proofed. To dry-proof, set the humidity to the lowest setting. The chart below is for
guidelines only. Ask your dough supplier for technical product reports to set up your own chart.

RETARDING
The retard feature gradually thaws frozen dough. Temperature is set between 35°F and 38°F (2°C to
3°C) for best results. Thawing frozen dough at retarder temperatures takes approximately 6 hours
minimum. Retarding slows the yeast fermentation process, reduces gas formation, and inhibits the
dough from rising. This also provides an excellent environment for storing dough products up to 48
hours by keeping the interior cool. Dough should not be refrozen after thawing.
Products removed from the retarder should be left at room temperature for 5 to 7 minutes before they
are put in the proofer. This will reduce moisture condensation when cold metal pans are placed in the
warm humid proofer.
