Safety Information

• Always place the melting pot on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
• Ensure the electrical cord is not frayed or damaged before plugging in.
• Do not immerse the electrical base of the melting pot in water or any other liquid.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• The melting pot and melted candy will be hot. Use caution to avoid burns.
• Candy Melts contain milk and soy. They are made on equipment that also processes wheat and peanuts, and in a facility that also processes egg and tree nuts. Be aware of potential allergens.
• Unplug the unit when not in use and before cleaning.

Setup

1. Place the melting pot base on a clean, dry, and stable surface.
2. Insert the removable silicone pot liner into the melting pot base.
3. Plug the melting pot into a standard 120-volt electrical outlet.
4. Add the desired amount of Candy Melts candy into the silicone liner. Do not overfill.

Operation

1. Turn the switch on the melting pot to the 'Heat' (II) setting. The indicator light will illuminate.
2. Allow the Candy Melts to heat and soften. Stir occasionally with a silicone spatula or spoon to ensure even melting.
3. Once the candy is fully melted and smooth, switch the setting to 'Warm' (I) to maintain the desired consistency for dipping.
4. Use the provided dipping tools (3-prong fork, spear, or cradling spoon) to dip your treats into the melted candy. Allow excess candy to drip off before placing treats on parchment paper to set.
5. If the candy loses its consistency due to overheating or humidity, add 2 teaspoons of vegetable shortening per 12 oz. of candy and stir until smooth.

Maintenance and Cleaning

1. After use, turn the melting pot off and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
2. Allow the silicone insert with any leftover candy to cool completely. For quicker cleanup, you can chill the insert in the refrigerator until the candy hardens.
3. Once the candy is hardened, gently flex the silicone insert to pop out the solid candy.
4. The removable silicone insert is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Alternatively, wash it in warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
5. Wipe the exterior of the melting pot base with a clean, damp cloth. Do not immerse the base in water.
6. Wash the dipping tools in warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly before storing.
