Optimum spraying
To enable a light chocolate covering, the hotCHOC has been specifically configured
to spray around 2 grams per second of 50% chocolate and 50% cocoa butter mixture,
dependent upon the type and temperature. 500ml can provide a maximum light
coverage of 10 - 15 m² or 5 - 8 m² of thicker coating. A light coverage can be achieved
with one pass, using a surface pattern of about 10 cm, sprayed approximately 30 cm
away from the surface.
Before starting, turn the power knob completely to the left. This is the maximum
power setting and after a few seconds it will allow sufficient suction for spraying
the material. Adjust the power knob as required until the sprayer demonstrates a
fine spray and makes an even tone.
Maintain a constant distance and smooth movement.
Avoid shaking the gun or sharp movements as this will cause droplets.
Varying the speed of arm movement, the height and number of coatings, will vary
the effect and thickness of sprayed material.
It is recommended to start and stop the sideways movement off the product and
only press the power button when over the product. This helps reduce the volume
being sprayer at the turning point.
The R6 is the best nozzle for working with chocolate using the hotCHOC.
If you want to spray from below, you may rotate the nozzle extension – however
- only rotate in a clockwise direction (when viewed from the front), otherwise you
will loosen the nozzle extension. The easiest method of adjusting the nozzle
direction is from the right side, hold the pump housing firmly with your left hand
and move the nozzle extension with your right hand.
Spraying other materials?
The sprayer is only designed to spray chocolate. Spraying other low viscosity (thin)
materials such as oil and light glaze is likely to produce a different effect.
4. CLEANING
IMPORTANT: Always remove the electrics and heating unit before washing the gun.
These parts should never be exposed to liquids. Always clean immediately after use.
For external cleaning, simply wipe down the outside of the sprayer with a dish soap.
For internal cleaning, we recommend to spray half a container of very hot water
through and then clean the individual parts using a suitable dishwashing detergent.
Careful use of a soft pipe cleaning brush is also recommended. Care should be taken
not to damage the cylinder by using abrasive or sharp tools. If available, blowing air
