ACCESSORIES - HPC800 PROOFING CABINET
The HO300 Mini Rotating Rack Oven can be ordered with the optional HPC800 Proofing Cabinet. The
proofer is mounted on four casters (two front-swivel and two rear-fixed).
The HPC800 Proofer has a 16-pan capacity that accommodates 18" x 26" (45.7 cm x 66 cm) baking
trays with 3" (7.6 cm) slide spacing. Temperature and humidity can be set independently to meet your
particular proofing needs. Air is circulated continuously to provide positive movement from bottom to
top, creating a uniform distribution of warm, moist air.
All HPC800 Proofers have easy-to-clean stainless steel interior and exterior panels with urethane foam
insulation.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
WARNING: PLUMBING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE SANITARY, SAFETY
AND PLUMBING CODES.
The proofer should have its own water supply line, separate from the oven.
The proofer water supply should have a hardness of 4 to 6 grains per gallon, pH of 6.5 to 8.0 and
chlorides less than 30 PPM. Water condition outside of these requirements may void the warranty.
Please consult your local water company and/or water condition dealer before installing proofer.
3
Connect the cold water supply to the
proofer. Water supply should have a pressure of 30 to 75 psi.
/8" NPT incoming water connection, located at the rear of the
DRAIN CONNECTIONS
Connect a 1/2" drain line to the 1/2" NPT drain connection located at the rear of the proofer. Route the drain
line to a floor drain, allowing a minimum 1" air gap between the drain line outlet and floor drain.
Provide a vent opening in the drain line above the oven drain connection location.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: ELECTRICAL AND GROUNDING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE
APPLICABLE PORTIONS OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE AND/OR OTHER LOCAL
ELECTRICAL CODES.

CONTROLS
Proofing
1. Turn the power switch to the ON position.
2. Turn the temperature knob to the desired setting.
3. Turn the humidity knob to the desired setting.
4. Allow 15 to 20 minutes for the proofer to reach set
temperature and humidity.
5. Load the product in the proofer.
6. Turn the power switch to the OFF position when
done.
Proofing Hints
Controlled temperature and humidity in the proofer promotes
yeast fermentation, which generates gas and causes the
dough to rise. Proofing will vary from product to product. A
temperature setting of 95°F (35°C) and humidity at 85% are
typical but will vary, depending on the product being proofed
and the amount of product being proofed.
•For best results, proof at lower temperatures rather than higher temperatures.
•To dry proof, set humidity to the lowest setting. At this setting, the humidity generator is turned
off and will not produce humidity.
•For the best results, always allow your proofer to reach set temperature and humidity before
putting product in.

Preventive Maintenance
The rack oven should be kept on a regular preventive maintenance schedule. Ovens require specific
preventive maintenance based on usage and environmental factors. The failure to have the oven
properly maintained by following recommended preventive maintenance procedures may result in
higher repair costs, shortened equipment life or unsafe operating conditions.
The performance of routine preventive maintenance on any rack oven, which is the owner’s responsibility,
will help to ensure continued safe and reliable operation.
A preventive maintenance program is your best option for continued safe and reliable oven operation.
We believe that Hobart Bakery System Service is your best choice for performing preventive
maintenance.
