HOW TO OPERATE
1.
Before first use, wipe down heated base, melting pot, lid and trays with
a damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry thoroughly. Be very careful to not
get any water in the heated base, or unit will not function.
2.
Find a dry, heat-resistant, level surface near an electrical outlet.
3.
Using your own recipe or following a recipe included in this instruction manual, prepare
your chocolate or caramel mixture.
NOTE: You may also use pieces of caramel or chocolate candies in the melting
pot. To speed up process, it is useful to pre-melt caramel or chocolate candies
in the microwave before placing in melting pot. DO NOT use recipes that
are heavy in oil, as this will inhibit the mixture sticking to the apple.
4.
Fill the topping trays with your favorite apple toppings.
5.
Place the melting pot into the heated base and plug in the appliance.
6.
Fill the melting pot with your chosen caramel or chocolate. Be very careful not to
overfill the pot. DO NOT exceed the 16 ounce maximum capacity, and keep in
mind the amount of mixture you will displace when dipping the apple.
7.
Steam may be released from food during cooking. For your safety, avoid contact
with steam, as it is very hot and can cause burns.
8.
Be careful to watch the melting pot and stir mixture if necessary.
DO NOT let mixture boil over, as this could cause burns.
9.
When mixture is ready to serve, insert a stick into an apple and dip the apple into the
mixture in the melting pot, coating it with the mixture. Place dipped apples into the
decorating trays to harden slightly.
IMPORTANT: Do not skip this step. Toppings will slide off apples if dipped into topping
directly after the mixture. Multiple dippings may be required to achieve the desired coating.
10. After the mixture on the apples have cooled slightly, carefully coat the apples
with your favorite nuts, candies and other toppings from the outside trays.
11. Place each completed apple back into the decorating trays to harden.
12. As soon as you are finished, unplug appliance and allow to cool.
BE CAREFUL, as base and melting pot will still be hot.
13. Once the appliance is cool, empty remaining heated mixture into a bag or
trash receptacle and follow the directions in the Cleaning & Maintenance
section to clean your CHOCOLATE & CARAMEL APPLE PARTY.
