• Remember to stir the chocolate regularly, but briefly - this will aid the
melting process.
• When you want to lower the temperature during tempering, to speed
up this "cooling down" phase, remove the inner chocolate vat from the
chocMELTER and put on a table. Apply air movement across the top via
a fan if available.
• If you see the message "LOC.", you have pressed the "P" for much longer
than the required 3 seconds. Pressing for more than 6 seconds will pull
up a complex programming menu. Although protected by a password,
we do not recommend you enter this menu.
• Simply by pressing the circle button above "P", and press for just 3
seconds. You will see the current set temperature and can adjust the
target by use of the arrows. Then save the target by pressing shortly the
"P". The screen will return to the actual temperature.
5. TIPS & TRICKS
The ideal working environment? The best conditions for working
with chocolate are an air conditioned room at around 20°C (68°F) with a
maximum humidity of 70%.
Do not allow water to mix with melted chocolate. Avoid storing
chocolate in a standard refrigerator as water condensation may form on
the chocolate surface when brought out at room temperature with the
resulting white/grey effect (bloom). If stored in a fridge, the maximum
humidity recommended is 50%. Pay particular attention to removing any
excess moisture from the lid of the vat. If dipping is your thing, make sure
fruit, biscuits and even the utensils being used are at room temperature
and thoroughly dry.
Need a thicker or thinner consistency? The viscosity (thickness /
surface tension) of your chocolate can be influenced by temperature or
its cocoa butter content. If you need a thinner layer, simply increase the
temperature within the industry norms, or mix with as much as 50% pre
