Exploitation
Chocolate tempering bowl 20 kg:
7.1. Turn on the tempering bowl with the ON / OFF button. The controller display must light up.
7.2. Temper the chocolate. There are many methods of tempering the chocolate with a steam table. The easiest tempering method is determined based on the working conditions and the skills level of the specialist. There are three ways to prepare chocolate below.
7.2.1. Method A — Sowing stable crystals:
— Heat up the chocolate to 42-45ºC (or other temperature recommended by chocolate manufacturer);
— Change the temperature value on the controller to fit the working temperature of the chocolate (33ºC or the value recommended by the chocolate manufacturer);
— Add 20-30% of chocolate pieces to the heated chocolate mass;
IMPORTANT! The pieces must be tempered and the same size. The larger the pieces, the fewer you need.
— Mix well until the pieces are completely dissolved. The pieces should melt completely at the moment the set working temperature is reached;
IMPORTANT! If the pieces are dissolved at a temperature of 34ºC and above, then there is a big chance that the chocolate won’t contain the required quantity of stable crystals. If the set temperature is reached, and the pieces are not melted, then cover the container with a lid and repeat stirring after 10-15 minutes until the pieces are completely dissolved.
— Collect the probe and check the quality of the tempering;
— Upon finishing the work, set the temperature to 40-50ºC, cover with a lid;
— To start the work, repeat all the steps again.
7.2.2. Method B — Classic tempering:
— Heat up the chocolate to 42-45ºC (or other temperature recommended by chocolate manufacturer);
— Change the temperature value on the controller to fit the working temperature of the chocolate (33ºC or the value recommended by the chocolate manufacturer);
— Remove a bit of chocolate from the container and pour it on a marble or granite table;
— Methodically mixing chocolate on a cold table surface, lower the temperature to 26-27ºC. The look of the chocolate can also serve as an indicator of a successful result: the surface of the mass should change its gloss to matte, the chocolate becomes much thicker.
— Collect the chocolate in a cup and return it to the tempering container. Mix thoroughly. The temperature of the chocolate mass must be within the working temperature range of the chocolate;
— Collect the probe and check the quality of the tempering;
— Upon finishing the work, set the temperature to 40ºC, cover with a lid;
— To start the work, repeat all the steps again.
7.2.3. Quick start:
— For a quick start the chocolate in the container must be already tempered. This technique is suitable if you plan to continue working in the near future (for example, the next day or in 1-2 days);
— At the end of the working day it is necessary to set the temperature on the controller to 36-37ºC (depending on the temperature in the room);
— Cover the container with a lid and leave it until the the next working day;
— Set the working temperature to 33ºC, mix the formed chocolate crust well with the warm chocolate on the bottom until smooth (the temperature should not be higher than 33ºC);
— Collect the probe and check the quality of the tempering;
— Upon finishing the work, set the temperature to 36-37ºC (depending on the room temperature).
7.3. Recrystallization of chocolate.
Recrystallization of chocolate is a process in which a mass of chocolate, being at the same temperature (for example, 33ºC), changes its viscosity to a more viscous one. After 1-2 hours of working with the prepared chocolate, the recrystallization process begins (appears as increased viscosity of the product). In order to return the chocolate to its normal state, it’s enough to evenly heat it with a heat gun to a temperature of 33.5-34ºC (or add hot chocolate with a temperature of 37-50ºC to it). The volume of added chocolate is determined empirically, based on temperature conditions and the degree of recrystallization.
IMPORTANT! When adding hot chocolate, the working volume in the bowl must be thoroughly and constantly mixed for uniform temperature distribution, and the temperature must also be continuously monitored with an external temperature measuring device (for example, a pyrometer).
7.4. Adding chocolate to the tempering bowl.
It’s much more efficient to keep the tempering bowl filled at least half of the maximum load. This allows you to ensure stable and long-term work with chocolate. In order to add chocolate to the bowl and not out-temper it, it must be hot (37-45ºC). It is also necessary to gradually and well mix the mass and control the temperature with a pyrometer (it should not exceed 33ºC).
Wheeled mixer for chocolate:
7.1. Switch on the tempering bowl and melt the chocolate (see the chocolate tempering bowl 20 kg manual).
7.2. Switch on the wheeled mixer using the on / off button.
7.3. Use the rotation speed switcher to select the wheel speed.
7.4. For more intensive mixing, move the nozzle puller to the wheel so the chocolate flows through it without touching the wheel.
7.5. Do not switch on the wheeled mixer when the chocolate mass is solid inside the tempering bowl! This will cause a breakdown.
7.6. Temper the chocolate.

Troubleshooting
Chocolate tempering bowl 20 kg:
8.1. Malfunctions checklist for tempering bowl.
If your tempering bowl does not start, follow these steps:
— Check the power supply cable, it must be undamaged and connected to the equipment correctly;
— The socket where the equipment is connected has a right voltage for the power supply parameters specified in the technical characteristics of the connected equipment (Your building may be completely de-energized, or the circuit breaker responsible for this socket is turned off in the junction box of the room);
— The equipment plug is connected to the socket correctly and completely;
— Switch on the equipment, make sure that the indicator on the controller lights up. The controller will display the actual temperature, which after a while will begin to rise up to the set one, it can be adjusted with the «up» and «down» keys;
— When turning on check all the inner walls of the equipment with your hand, they should begin to heat up. To check the uniformity of heating, you can stick a piece of masking tape on each of the walls and use a pyrometer to measure the temperature after turning on the bowl and letting it reach the set temperature (remember that the pyrometer cannot correctly measure temperature from reflective metal surfaces);
— If the bowl still continues to heat up or there are other deviations after reaching the set temperature, it’s recommended to do the initial setting of the controller and then the calibration;
— If all of the above conditions are met, and the equipment cannot be restored to work, please inform the KADZAMA manager about all the steps you have done for further consultation.
Initial parameter setting:
