OPERATION AND CARE OF MODELS HP PROOFERS & HPR PROOFERS/RETARDERS 

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL
The HP Proofer and HPR Proofer/Retarder cabinet-proof racks of dough products under controlled temperatures and humidity prior to baking. There are two to choose from. The standard proofers are equipped to proof dough only. Proofer/Retarders gradually thaw the frozen dough. The retarders operate like a refrigerator by keeping the interior cool, which also provides 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 retard and automatically proof in one operation.

The HP Proofers and HPR Proofer/Retarders 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 three-section roll-in or roll-through models. All HP Proofer and HPR Proofer/Retarder cabinets have easy-to-clean stainless steel interior and exterior panels. It is suggested that you thoroughly read this manual and carefully follow the instructions provided.

INSTALLATION

Models HP Proofers and HPR Proofer/Retarders must be installed by authorized Hobart Bakery Systems trained service technicians.

OPERATION

The following pages cover the operation procedures for the various control options of the HP Proofer and HPR Proofer/Retarder cabinets. The control panels come in two configurations: standard proofer and proofer/retarder.

PROOFING
Controlled temperature and humidity in the proofer promotes yeast fermentation, which generates gas and causes the dough to rise. Proofing takes from 45 to 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 only a guide. Ask your dough supplier for technical product reports to set up your own chart.

Temperature| % Humidity| P roof Time Minutes
Rolls| 95°F (35°C )| 85%| 55 min.

French C rust Bread 10 oz.| 90°F (32°C )| 85%| 45 min.
Bagels| 85°F (29°C )| 85%| 50 min.
Croissants| 75°F (24°C )| 70%| 30 min.

RETARDING
The retard feature gradually thaws frozen dough. Set the temperature between 36°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 dough interior cool. The dough should not be refrozen after thawing.

It is likely that condensation will form if a product is placed directly into the proofer from the retarder. For best results, allow the product to reach room temperature before placing into the proofer. Units equipped with auto mode will slowly and automatically bring the proofer up to temperature without removing the product from the unit.
