Before cleaning, always unplug the unit and allow it to reach room temperature. For routine care, wipe the interior and exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.

• If necessary, use a mild soap, then wipe again with a clean, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly with a soft towel.
• Water tray and sheet pans: These components can be hand-washed with warm water and mild soap. Rinse and dry completely before returning them to the unit.
• Do not place any components in the dishwasher.

After each use, leave the door open until all interior surfaces are fully dry. Wiping down the interior and emptying the drip tray will speed this up — this is especially important since the Proofer Pro maintains high humidity during use.

If you use it frequently, do a quick weekly inspection of the interior for any flour, food residue, or moisture buildup.

If you find mold, unplug the unit and wipe all interior surfaces with a food-safe disinfecting cleaner. Let it dry completely, then run the unit at maximum temperature for one hour with no water inside and the door closed. Finish by leaving the door open for at least one hour before your next use.

When you are done with the Proofer Pro, remove the water tray to hand-wash and completely dry. If the water tray is left inside the unit with water and the door is shut, mildew can develop over time. If any condensation forms inside the unit, wipe it dry before closing the door. For best results, allow the interior to fully air out after use by leaving the door open for a short period of time.

The unit has been tested and approved for unattended operation and may run continuously.

The Proofer Pro is calibrated to keep dough at the designated temperature setting, not the air inside. Measuring the air temperature with a thermometer will not accurately indicate the temperature of dough.

Yes, always keep the water tray installed.

• When heating, add a small amount of water. Start with 1 tablespoon (15 ml), and add more only if needed.
• When cooling, do not add water. The tray will naturally collect condensation.
