tempering, and similar to "Temper 2" on the
Revolation X-3210 model. Chocolate temp-
erature will fall slightly below the temper set
point (this margin is known as the "Delta"),
then will come back up to the temper set
point.
EXTENDED TEMPER MODE (ETM): This
function allows chocolate to remain at
temper in the bowl for extended periods of
time (up to 10 hours) without thickening by
means of intervaled bowl pauses and heat
increases.
7) When the final stages of tempering are
complete, the machine will sound three long
beeps and the display will show "READY",
meaning your chocolate is in temper.
