CajunCandy Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Now it is 90 degree's plus in south LA and I have the chiller working in my machine shop keeping product cool and ready for the guy's to snack on. I need to know at what temp it should be in machine? I went for 1:00 pm and it was running and temp in machine was 73 degrees, is it to cold? mike

Ps. I know you just posted this to gloat because you have one of these machines and I don't
CajunCandy Posted June 5, 2013 Author Posted June 5, 2013 I'm gloating because machine was in storage unit and at first like a ROOKIE I did not know what I had! And to think I thought I over paid for those two units! Thanks moondog I will not mess with setting! No machines to run today?
AZVendor Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Mike, leave the temperature set where it is. You will see about a 20 - 25 degree drop over ambient temperature. If this is a Chill Factor on top of the machine, the thermostat is under the cover of the unit and hard to get to anyway (I don't honestly remember if it's adjustable). You can safely chill the machine to 50 degrees without hurting the chocolate, but the chiller won't go that low anyway. You got lucky with this one . One thing to maintain is good airflow through the unit. If you have an air hose, blow out the condenser of the chiller because they do get dirty.
Walta Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Keep the temperature over the dew point in the room where the machine is located. Is that’s about 95 degrees in LA? LOL Seriously if you set it to 50 degrees the unit will run nonstop and likely freeze up. If it does get close to 50 the machine will sweat all over and all the wet metal will rust. I have seen them rust all the way thru. 75 should keep your chocolate in good shape. Walta
