DIAGRAM
OPERATION
Your PKFNMK14 is designed to keep chocolate warm (Position 1 approx. 109.4°F) or to melt finely chopped dark, milk or white chocolate / chocolate couverture (Position 2 approx. 140°F) up to a maximum of 250g. It is not designed for cooking. If the melted chocolate is to be further processed, always use another vessel and allow the chocolate to cool down.
The PKFNMK14, the moulds and the chocolate / couverture must be completely dry and be at room temperature (68°F). Never add water to the chocolate / couverture. If the mass is too thick, reheat it in the PKFNMK14. If it is too thin (runny) or too hot, add a little more of the finely chopped chocolate / couverture. To obtain a nice shine on chocolate icing, add approx 1/2 tsp cocoa butter or coconut butter to the mass.
Some recipes require the addition of sugar or honey. Use sparingly as the chocolate is usually sweet enough!
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
- Place the appliance on an even surface and lower the melting pot into the recess.
NOTE: Heat up chocolate only in the melting pot, never heat up choco late directly in the basic unit. - Connect the appliance to a suitable 220-240V~ 50Hz power supply.
- Preheat the appliance (approx. 10 minutes) by turning the switch on the front of the appliance to Position 2 (approx. 140°F).
- Position 1 is used to keep the melted chocolate warm (approx. 109.4°F) e.g. for chocolate fondue.
- The chocolate or couverture should be finely chopped to shorten the melting time.
- Stir occasionally during the melting process.
- Turn to position 0 after using the unit. Unplug from the power supply.

RECIPES
NOUGAT CREAM AS SANDWICH SPREAD
100g cooking chocolate, 20g soft butter, 250g hazelnut, a little honey if required.
Melt the chopped chocolate in the PKFNMK14, add the hazelnut cream to the melted chocolate in a separate vessel and mix well with the soft butter until the mixture takes on the consistency of cream. Add a little honey if necessary. Pour the mixture into a clean jar and store in the refrigerator.
CHOCOLATE FONDUE WITH FRUITS
150g cooking chocolate, 1tbs cream, 1tbs soft butter
The following fruits can be used: grapes, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, gooseberries, banana slices, pieces of apple or pear, cape gooseberries, and dried fruits like dates, figs, apricots, prunes, cranberries, raisins, and nuts.
Note: The fruits used should be at room temperature.
Melt the chopped chocolate in the PKFNMK14, add the cream and butter, mix well and keep warm in the melting pot. The fruit must always be ripe, clean and dry (otherwise this will dilute the fondue).The individual pieces are speared on skewers and dipped into the chocolate.
CHOCOLATE COATED FRUIT OR BISCUITS
200g dark (or white) chocolate couverture, fruit, dry biscuits or wafers
The following whole fresh fruits can be used: grapes, strawberries, blue berries, blackberries, raspberries, gooseberries, apple bananas, fresh figs, cape gooseberries, kumquats, and dried fruits like dates, figs, dried apricots, prunes, cranberries, raisins, and nuts.
Note: The fruit should be at room temperature!
Melt the chopped chocolate couverture in the PKFNMK14 and allow it to cool. Then melt it down again. This process gives the chocolate coating a beautiful shine. The fruit must always be ripe, clean and absolutely dry; otherwise the chocolate coating will not hold. The fruit can be dusted with a light coating of cornmeal to reduce the effects of escaping moisture.
Dip the pieces halfway into the liquid chocolate couverture and allow them to dry on a draining rack or cool in the refrigerator. Use up quickly! Chocolate coated fruit is also most suitable for the decoration of cakes.
MOUSSE AU CHOCOLAT
150g cooking chocolate, 3 whole eggs, 0.5 l Cream
Melt the chopped chocolate couverture in the PKFNMK14. Beat the eggs in a separate vessel in a bain-marie until the mixture is warm and frothy, let it cool down and whip again when it has cooled. Add to the melted chocolate and gradually add the stiffly whipped cream. Keep cool for several hours.
REAL CHOCOALTE LEAVES AS DECORATION FOR CAKES OR DESSERTS
100g of dark chocolate couverture, green leaves with pronounced veins (e.g. rose, vine or laurel leaves)
Melt the chopped chocolate couverture in the PKFNMK14 and dip the upper surface of the washed leaves flat into the chocolate, or carefully apply a coating of chocolate on one side using a brush. The other side of the leaf must not be coated with chocolate. Wipe off any excess chocolate and hang the leaves over the handle of a wooden spoon (with the chocolate coated side facing upwards). Allow them to dry on the draining rack. (Room temperature max 68°F) Then gently peel the leaves off the spoon.
MOCHA-RUM TRUFFLES
200g household chocolate, 100g butter, 100g icing sugar, 1 sachet of vanilla sugar, 2 tbs instant Mocha coffee liqueur, cocoa powder, instant mocha powder
