DOUGHPRO PP1818 Manual Dough Press Instruction Manual
Introduction
Before attempting to operate your new PP 1818 pizza press, take time to read these instructions. The press has been designed for use by even totally unskilled employees after just a few minutes of simple instructions. Following these step-by-step instructions will have them pressing pizzas faster, safer, more consistently and equal in quality to the best hand tossed crusts.
Getting Started
First make sure the press is placed in an area with sufficient room for cleaning and unobstructed operation. Start by plugging the press into a properly rated outlet depending on the electrical rating of the press selected – 120V or 240v. Start by setting the temperature as follows dependent on the desired product: Fresh dough pizza crusts: 1500F (65.5°C). Vary the temperature setting to suit the desired result. ALLOW 15-20 MINUTES FOR WARM-UP.
Now let’s start pressing pizza crusts.
First allow upper platen to reach set temperature. In most instances, 150°F (65.5C) is ideal, but trial and error testing will determine the best temperature for your dough. For best results your dough should be proofed before pressing, but it will also press directly out of your refrigerator. Flour is not required to press a crust arid should not be dusted on any part of the machine. Determining the proper amount of pressing time will vary depending on the diameter of your product. Start with 5 seconds and go up or down from there.
STEP I – After allowing upper platen to reach desired temperature, set desired time cycle. Place your pre-portioned doughball on the etched mark on the lower platen (off center). Use an approved lubricant or food release agent such as olive oil or DOUGHPRO’S cookware food release spray #DPPC1. This will greatly improve the pressing operation. Flour is NOT required to press crusts and should NEVER be used on any part of the machine.
STEP 2 – With both hands pull down the handle into locking position. Wait until your desired set time has been reached and the counter beeps.
STEP 3 – With both hands, quickly lift the handle & remove your crust from either the left or right side. Place flattened cruston screen, disc or pan. Now you’re ready for make-up and baking. Keep in mind that the final crust shape and size are result of proper portioning, rounding and set time.
