small metal cup (about 250ml or less) half full with room temperature water and place
on the wire rack in the center of the Proofer. Set the Proofer to 29C. Wait 60 minutes
and then measure the temperature of the water. The water temperature should be
within 1-2 degrees of the set point.
Heating in the Proofer takes place by two mechanisms: Convective and radiative
heating. Convective heating occurs when the air in the Proofer is heated by the
aluminum plate – then rises. It passes its heat energy into the object in the Proofer.
Radiative heating occurs when the heat in the aluminum plate is passed directly to
the object in the Proofer without heating the intervening air – just as when you feel
the intense heat of a fi re when you hold out your hand – it is much hotter than the
surrounding air. This is why measurements of the air inside the Proofer will give
unreliable readings.
Will the Proofer work in any environment?
If the ambient temperature of the room where the Proofer is located is quite cool- lower
than 15C, or very warm- above 25C, the temperature setting may need to be adjusted a
few degrees higher or lower to achieve the desired result.
How do I fold my Proofer for storage?
1. Remove the rack and water tray. Fold the walls inward and lay them fl at in the base.
2. Place the water tray at the front.
3. Set the rack on top of the walls and water tray, top down with the feet facing up as in
photo A.
4. Position the rack so it is held in place by the cross guides, as shown in photo B.
5. Gently close the Proofer lid. It should click securely closed.
