HOW TO OPERATE
1. Before first use, wipe all parts 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. Place the removable pot in the main unit and plug in the appliance.The power light will
come on when appliance is plugged in. Allow unit to preheat for about 7 minutes.
4. Using your own recipe or following recipes included in this instruction manual,
prepare your chocolate mixture, or add up to 16 oz. of chocolate to the pot.
5. Be very careful not to overfill the pot. DO NOT exceed
maximum capacity, which is about 2 cups.
6. Steam may be released from food during cooking. For your safety, avoid contact
with steam, as it is very hot and can cause burns.
7. Be careful to watch the pot and stir mixture if necessary. DO
NOT let mixture boil over, as this could cause burns.
8. While the chocolate is heating, insert one 9-volt battery into the Chocolatier. To do this,
press in the plastic tab on the left underside of the unit to remove the base and reveal the
battery compartment. After locking the base back into place, unlock the top half of the
center ring by turning it counterclockwise, so that the mold can be placed in after it is filled.
9. When mixture is ready to use, pour into half of the mold of your choice (see Helpful Tips
section for mold-specific suggestions).
10. Seal mold and place in the center ring. Replace the other half of the center ring and turn it
clockwise to lock mold in place. Press the "ll" switch. The HOLLOW CHOCOLATIER will rotate
and flash its color-changing lights as it spins the mold to form the shape of your choosing.
11. When the chocolate has covered the mold, turn the unit off and unlock the mold and place it
in the freezer. Let the chocolate harden for about 30 minutes and gently remove from mold.
12. Once candy has been removed, you can use the knife/spatula to trim the edges or add
detail. You can also add decorations on the outside or filling on the inside with the injector.
13. If using the injector to fill candy with your favorite cream, jelly or other liquid, make a small
hole in the candy with a fork. Use the injector with the filling of your choice, then use the
spatula/knife tool to patch the hole with your remaining chocolate in the melting pot.
14. Replace candy in the freezer until patch has hardened. The included
foils can also be used to wrap candies after they are hardened.
15. As soon as you are finished with the chocolate pot, unplug appliance and allow to cool.
BE CAREFUL, as base and pot will still be hot.
16. Once you are finished with the chocolate and 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 HOLLOW CHOCOLATIER.
