PROOFER:

Begin to pre-heat the Proofer section of the NVT-3/9 about 20 to 30 minutes before its scheduled use.
A. Set out the desired product for thawing. Be sure to allow sufficient time in your schedule for both the
product and your equipment to reach the correct conditions.
B. Prepare the Proofer:
1. Ensure the Rocker Switch [23] is in the On position. The NU-VU logo will be displayed for a short
period of time, after which the Stand-by Screen will be displayed.
2. Press the Proofer On / Off Key then press the bread icon on the right half of the display to start the
Proofer. The controller is preprogrammed with recommended Proofing time, temperature, and
humidity settings. You may need to modify these settings for your location.
3. Make sure water is being supplied to the Proofer. An AUTOMIST unit injects water directly into
the air in the Proofer, raising the internal humidity level almost immediately.
4. The Proofer pre-heat screen will be displayed until the set point is reached after which an audible
alarm will sound. A light to moderate fogging will appear on the Proofer Door [42]. The display
will now resemble that of figure #4 (above).
C. Load the product. The pans should be pushed all the way back and centered from side to side as much as
possible on each Proofer Shelf to allow for proper air circulation over and around your product. If you
are loading a single pan, center it on the Shelf from side to side and front to back.
D. Press the Proofer Start / Stop Key to begin the countdown timer corresponding to the location of the
Proofer that was loaded (Top, Middle or Lower) as a reminder to check your proof.
F. Monitor the proofing process. Your Proofer is functioning properly if there is a light to moderate
fogging on the Proofer Door. No fogging means your Proofer may be running too hot, too dry, or both.
Excessive fogging (with water running down the glass) means your Proofer may be running too cold, too
wet, or both. Check the product and adjust the Proofer Temperature and Humidity Controls as
necessary.
G. Load the Oven when your product is fully proofed. Yeast products should be 65% to 75% of the desired
finished size at the end of the proof cycle. Generally speaking, properly proofed bread should have a
soft, silky smooth feel to it when touched. It should never be anything more than slightly tacky. If the
