Operating Instructions
To operate your WantJoin Nacho Cheese Dispenser:
- Power On: Flip the power switch to the "ON" position. The indicator light will illuminate.
- Set Temperature: Rotate the temperature control knob to your desired setting. The temperature range is 30°C to 90°C (86°F to 194°F). For optimal nacho cheese, a setting around 60°C (140°F) is often recommended.
- Heating: Allow sufficient time for the sauce to heat to the set temperature. The dispenser uses a water bath heating system for even heating.
- Dispense Sauce: Once the sauce is heated, place a serving container under the pump spout. Press down on the pump handle to dispense the sauce. The pump dispenses 1-30cc per stroke and can rotate 360 degrees for convenience.
- Monitor Sauce Level: Regularly check the sauce level and refill as needed to maintain consistent temperature and prevent the pump from running dry.
- Power Off: After use, turn the temperature control knob to the lowest setting, then flip the power switch to "OFF". Unplug the appliance from the power outlet.
