Dough Pressing Operations 
 

SETTING CRUST THICKNESS 
CONTROL:

 
*The thickness is determined by dough 
weight and temperature setting on each 
platen. Setting crust thickness is as 
simple as the twist of a dial.  The 
thickness adjustment dial can be located 
on the top of the DP2000.  By means of 
trial and error, rotate the dial until 
desired thickness is obtained. **If your 
platens are polished they have been 
coated with 

Platen Saver

. This product 

will prevent dough from sticking and 
make cleanup much easier. A sample 
bottle has been included along with an 
order sheet for your convenience. 

Note:  

Never force the dial past its stop 
position or damage could occur.

PRESSING DOUGH: 

1.

First make sure you have the 
correct type electrical current or 
serious damage could occur! 

2.

Press the Power Button in order 
to turn the machine on.  A green 
light will illuminate above the 
power button indicating that 
power is in the machine. 

 
3.

Both the upper and lower platens 
will heat up once you have 
adjusted your digital control to 
your desired setting

.  Note: 

Different products require 
different temperature settings.  In 
order to determine the right 
temperature setting for your 
product, refer to the following 
table simply as a guide for 
starting.

*To achieve consistent size flour 
tortillas of smaller than 10” you will 
need to only press 2 at a time as shown 
in the pictures included with the 
manual. 

 
Note: Keep in mind that dough 
formulations may differ, and that you 
may have to do some trial and error 
testing of different temperatures and 
platen pressure to arrive at the proper 
end result for your particular product. 
 
Also note that the finished, after-
pressing diameter of the finished dough 
piece is determined by the weight of the 
dough and the amount of pressure 
applied to the platens. 
 
For best results, your dough should be 
proofed at room temperature 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.
