FIG. A
Solid State Controller
This controller has three (3) control features:
1. Temperature – May be set from
100°-425°F (38°-163°C)
2. Time – Time may be set from 1 second to
10 minutes.
3. Counter – Cycle counter counts the
number of applications from 1 to 9999 (see
additional Notes – Counter).
4. “2 Lower” (Fig. A) Refers to models using
upper and lower heated surfaces.
Controller Operation
1. Viewing the Modes of Operation:
To view the set points of temperature, timer
and counter, press MODE button to view the
desired mode of operation.
2. Changing Temperature:
Press MODE button until temperature is
displayed.
Press and hold SET button while pressing the
UP (↑) and DOWN (↓) arrow buttons to
desired temperature setting.
3. Changing Time:
Press MODE button until time is displayed.
2
Press and hold SET button while pressing the
UP (↑) and DOWN (↓) arrow buttons to
desired timer setting.
4. Resetting the Counter:
Press MODE button until the
counter is displayed.
To reset the counter (# of cycles),
simultaneously push UP (↑) or DOWN (↓)
arrow buttons (approx. 5 seconds).
Pressing 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 and should not be
dusted on any part of the machine.
2. Press the On/Off button.
Note:
Initial temperature setting of 150°F has
been shown to be acceptable for most dough
formulations; however, you may have to
determine the best temperature for your own
dough by trial and error testing of your product
at different temperature settings.
3. Set the timer in accordance with the
following information:
2-4 seconds –For warm dough with
moderate yeast content.
2-6 seconds – For room temperature dough
with moderate yeast content.
6-8 seconds – For cold dough right out of the
refrigerator with low yeast content.
*Remember that the timer does not actuate
until the upper platen mates with the lower
platen and resistance is felt.
4. Set the thickness control lever to “thick” or
“thin” or anywhere in between these settings
as your product requires.
Note:
Diameter and thickness is determined
through experimenting with your own dough
and is a product of dough weight, temperature,
pressing time, and thickness setting.
5. Swing open the lower platen and
apply a quick spray of a good
water based food release on the lower
platen. Proluxe offers its own food release
spray NATURALLY CLEAR Model No.
DPPC1. (See our catalog and price list for
information.) This spray will not affect
the taste of your crust in any way.
6. Place your pre-portioned ball of dough in
the approximate center of the lower platen.
Add another dash of spray to the top of the
dough ball.
7. Close the platen and, with both hands,
press the two green buttons on each side of
the machine simultaneously.
8. Hold the buttons until resistance is felt
then release at once. The timer will actuate
and, when the time cycle is completed, the
upper platen will rise automatically (timer is
preset at the factory for six seconds, but this
is easily changed by following the upcoming
instructions.)
9. Remove the crust, place on a pan or peel,
add toppings and bake.

Warning: Incoming air to machine shall not
exceed 90psi as this will damage internal
parts and void the machine warranty.

Proluxe machines are relatively maintenance
free. For a long lifespan, the following
preventative maintenance should be
followed:
Daily Care:
1. Platens: Turn your machine off and allow
to cool down before attempting to clean.
These platens should only be cleaned with
mild soap and warm water then wiped off
with a clean, soft cloth or soft sponge.
2. Exterior surfaces: Wipe daily with mild
soap and warm water will do the job quite
nicely.
Service Problems:
Contact our factory at (800) 624-6717 (U.S.
only) or approved service agency. When
contacting the factory for information, parts
or service instructions, please provide the
serial number of the machine be provided.
This number can be found on the serial plate
located on the rear of the machine.
