Bartscher SB 325 Instruction Manual page 31

A general rule is to add about 150 ml of cooking oil to each 1 kg of chocolate.
Note: the chocolate mass must be of a liquid consistency.
CAUTION!
The use of chocolate without the addition of cooking oil or fat can cause damage
to the device and may lead to loss of warranty.
Pre-melting of chocolate
In order to shorten the melting time, pre-melted chocolate may be used. Observe the
following instructions for melting chocolate.
Melting in the microwave
•
Chop the chocolate and melt it in a microwave-safe container. Then add the
appropriate amount of cooking oil and stir it.
Before pouring pre-melted chocolate into the bowl, connect the device to a single
grounded outlet and heat up about 5 minutes at the highest temperature setting.
Melting in the pot (with cooking oil)
•
Warm up slowly the appropriate amount of cooking oil in a coated pan (do not heat
up too much!). Add the chopped chocolate and allow it to melt while stirring
continously. The smooth mass must be created.
Connect the device to a single grounded outlet before filling the bowl with pre-melted
chocolate, and heat it up about 5 minutes at the highest temperature setting.
Melting in water bath
•
Heat up water in a pot (do not boil!).
•
Place a sufficiently large bowl (pot) in heated water so that it does not touch the
bottom.
•
Put the chopped chocolate into the bowl (pot). Ensure that chocolate never comes
in contact with water.
•
Once chocolate is completely melted, add the desired amount of cooking oil and
stir the mixture with a spoon.
Connect the device to a single grounded outlet before filling the bowl with pre-melted
chocolate and heat it up about 5 minutes at the highest temperature setting.
