Digital Heat Control Adjustment
For best results, fudge should be cooked until it is ‘whipped’. So what does ‘whipped’ mean?
Generally speaking, this means that all of the sugar has been hydrated which creates a fluffy,
smooth, not gritty, shiny & uniformly mixed product. ‘Whipping’ occurs with our Sweet
Selections Fudge Mix when the product has reached a temperature of approximately 160°F
(takes approx. 12-15 minutes once all ingredients have been added and initially mixed in).
In order to achieve this product temperature the digital control on Gold Medal’s Fudge Machine
should be set at 185°F.
*It is important to note
that due to variations in your electrical current,
as well as what type of fudge you are making and what type of inclusions or add-ins you may be
using, optimum product temperatures may be slightly higher or slightly lower than 160°F. Thus,
using a candy thermometer to check actual product temperature plus a well trained and
experienced eye (to know when it has been ‘whipped’) is critical to achieving the best result
possible. (Reference the Making Fudge section for complete instructions on how to make fudge.)
The
Set Point Temperature
is
preset at the factory to 185°F (the bottom digital display
temperature seen on the green background). The top digital display temperature (seen on the
yellow background) shows the heat sensor temperature in the kettle. This is NOT the product
temperature.
Note: The Set Point Temperature will be higher than the product temperature.
Refer to the candy thermometer for accurate product temperature.
Digital Heat Control Adjustment
If the fudge product cooks too fast, or too slow, the
Set Point Temperature
may need to be
adjusted. Follow the steps listed to increase or decrease the set point temperature of the kettle.
Note:
OUT 1 and Heat Indicator Display will turn OFF when unit reaches the set point
temperature.
1.
To change the Set Point Temperature, make sure unit is in the desired mode (Operate
or Clean).
2.
Turn the Heat/Motor Switch ON.
3.
Press the
or
button to raise or lower the Set Point Temperature as needed.
4.
Once the temperature is set, press the
Button to lock in the new temperature.
5.
To change the Set Point Temperature of the other mode, turn the Heat/Motor Switch
OFF, then repeat from Step 1.
