OP–2FM OWNER'S MANUAL

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PROOFER:

The Proofer section should be pre-heated about 20 to 30 minutes before its intended use. Set the Proofer
Temperature and Humidity Controls to the desired settings. If your Proofer is equipped with the
AUTOMIST option, you can leave the Humidity Control OFF until you are actually ready to load thawed
dough into the proofer. A manual-fill unit requires more time to heat the water and raise the humidity level,
but an AUTOMIST unit injects water directly into the atmosphere, raising the humidity level almost
immediately. Excessive water in the Proofer can lead to the premature failure of the Motor, Heat or
Humidity Elements, or Control Sensors.
A. Set out the desired product for thawing.
Be sure to allow sufficient time in your
schedule for both the product and your
equipment
conditions.
B. Prepare the Proofer:
1. Turn the Proofer Power Switch [31]
ON at least 20 minutes prior to use.
2. Set the Proofer Temperature Control
[32] to the required setting (refer to
General Settings on page 15 and
the Baking Chart on page 16).
3. FOR THE STANDARD
PROOFER:
a. Make sure the Water Pan [64]
contains between 1½" and 2" of water. This should be checked every time you load
the Proofer, and at least every other hour during normal operations.
b. Set the manual-fill Humidity Control [34] to the desired setting (refer to General
Settings on page 15).
c. The Proofer is ready for use when the Temperature and Humidity Control Indicator
Lights go out and a light fogging appears on the Proofer Door [42].
FOR THE AUTOMIST PROOFER:
a. Make sure the water supply to the Proofer is not interrupted or shut off. The Injection
Nozzle [85] should spray a fine intermittent water mist into the Blower Wheel [86]
when the Humidity Control Indicator Light [82] illuminates. Leave the AUTOMIST
Humidity Control [81] OFF until you are ready to load thawed product into the
Proofer.
b. When your product is ready and JUST PRIOR TO LOADING PRODUCT INTO
THE PROOFER, set the AUTOMIST Humidity Control [81] to the required setting
(refer to General Settings on page 15).
c. The Proofer is ready for use when the Temperature Control Indicator Light goes out.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS REDUCE THE HUMIDITY SETTING TO A MINIMAL
LEVEL WHEN OPERATING THE PROOFER WITHOUT PRODUCT!
