6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your proofer.

• Before Cleaning: Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely.
• Main Unit: Wipe the stainless steel body with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent and then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
• PC Cover, Grid Stand, Water Cup, Dough Proofing Basin: These parts are detachable and can be washed with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reassembling.
• Descaling: If using tap water, mineral deposits may accumulate in the water cup area. Clean regularly with a descaling solution suitable for kitchen appliances or a vinegar solution.
• Storage: Ensure all parts are clean and dry before storing. The detachable body allows for simple assembly and easy storage.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your proofer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Appliance does not turn on:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Check if the power outlet is functional by plugging in another appliance.
  • Verify that the timer knob is not set to 'Off' or 0.
• Dough is not rising:
  • Check the temperature setting. Ensure it is appropriate for your dough type (typically 24-38°C for most bread doughs).
  • Verify the humidity setting. Insufficient humidity can dry out the dough, hindering rising. Ensure the water cup is filled.
  • Ensure the PC cover is properly sealed to maintain the internal environment.
  • Consider the yeast activity in your dough recipe.
• Temperature or humidity is inconsistent:
  • Ensure the PC cover is securely in place and there are no gaps.
  • Check that the water cup is filled for humidity generation.
  • Avoid placing the proofer in drafty areas or near direct heat sources.
• Excessive condensation inside:
  • This is normal for high humidity settings. Ensure the water cup is not overfilled.
  • If condensation is excessive and dripping onto the dough, you may slightly reduce the humidity setting.

If the problem persists after checking these points, please contact customer support.
