HOW TO OPERATE
1. Before rst use, wipe down heated base, melting pot 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 following the instructions. DO NOT use recipes that are
heavy in oil, as this will inhibit the mixture sticking to the apple. You can also put pieces of
caramel or chocolate candies in the pot. NOTE: to speed up process, it is useful to premelt
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. Assemble the trays by connecting them into a full circle around the base.
5. Place the melting pot on the heated base and plug in the appliance. Flip the dial to
"heat" if using candies, "warm" if using pre-melted candies or a pre-heated mixture.
6. Fill the melting pot with the mixture or with candies. Be very careful not to
overll the pan. DO NOT exceed maximum capacity, and keep in mind
the amount of mixture you will displace when dipping the apple.
7. If using candies, once the desired temperature has been reached, ip dial to "warm."
8. Steam may be released from food during cooking. For your safety, avoid contact
with steam, as it is very hot and can cause burns.
9. Be careful to watch the melting pot and stir mixture if necessary.
DO NOT let mixture boil over, as this could cause burns.
10. 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
on a plate or piece of wax paper to harden slightly. IMPORTANT: Do not skip
this step. Toppings will slide o of apples if dipped into topping directly after the
mixture. Multiple dippings may be required to achieve the desired coating.
11. Carefully put or pour your favorite nuts, candies and other toppings into the outside trays.
12. After the mixture on the apple has cooled slightly, dip the coated apple into the
toppings of your choice. Place back on a plate or piece of wax paper to harden.
13. As soon as you are nished, unplug appliance and allow to cool.
BE CAREFUL, as base and melting pot will still be hot.
14. 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 APPLE DIPPER .
