A certified electrician must furnish sufficient power for proper machine operation and install any
supplied receptacle (reference unit Data Plate for model specific Volts AC, Hertz, and Wattage
requirements). We recommend this equipment be on a dedicated and protected circuit. Failure

extension cords is not recommended due to safety concerns, and may cause sacrificed and/or
reduced performance. Make sure cord is located to prevent a trip hazard or unit upset.
Before You Plug In Machine
1. Make sure all machine switches are OFF before plugging equipment into receptacle.
2. Make sure wall outlet can accept the grounded plugs (where applicable) on the power
supply cord.
3. The wall outlet must have the proper polarity. If in doubt, have a certified electrician
inspect the outlet and correct if necessary.
4. DO NOT use a grounded to un-grounded receptacle adapter (where applicable).
5. Install unit in a level position.
CAUTION

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Making Candy Apples
Candy Apple Coating
Candy apple coating is a mix of various sugars: sucrose, glucose, and dextrose. Hard candies have
traditionally given chefs trouble. However, using fully prepared mixes such as our APPL-EZ
eliminates most chances of a bad batch.
Follow the instructions on the APPL-EZ bag for the proper amount of sugar and water.
In APPL-EZ, or any other dextrose-based mix, the stated quantity of water is very important.
•Too much water results in a longer cooking time and thicker batch.
•Not enough water results in crystallization and “raw” candy.
•Operate the unit at proper voltage (reference Electrical Specifications section).
Apple Sticks
The large 5½" long, round Northern wood stick is preferred. The length makes small apples
seem larger. Gold Medal also sells the smaller 4½" lengths for economy. The round geometry
makes spinning the apple in the pot easier than flat or square sticks.
Amount of Water
Sufficient water must be used to allow for the correct cooking time. Cooking time is the most
important aspect of candy making.
•Too short of cook time leads to crystallization and no set-up.
•Too much time causes a brownish color, a burnt taste, and too thick a batch.
•Optimum cooking time is between 15 and 20 minutes.
Types of Apples
Pick a hard apple, (in either color). Dipping an apple in hot candy actually cooks the “meat” of the
apple just under the skin. The juices in this “meat” make the skin become sticky.
Never use cold refrigerated apples. Allow refrigerated apples to warm up to room temperature,
otherwise, the candy may not stick to the apple skin.
Temperature
Optimum cooking temperature is 275°F.
Remember: The cooking process actually means melting the sugar crystals. Sugar burns
at 330°F; to be on the safe side, never allow temperature to exceed 300°F.

Dipping the Apples
Make sure apples are cleaned, dry, and sticks are inserted. When temperature is 275°F, turn the
heat OFF.
1. Pick up apple by stick, with thumb and index finger, insert into candy apple coating
(immersing entire apple).
2. Remove from candy and carefully scrap off excess candy.
3. Place on greased cooling rack.
Ground Peanut Coatings
Rolling candy apples in ground peanuts makes them very attractive. You must roll apples
immediately after dipping, otherwise nuts may not stick. Shredded coconut may also be used.
Cellophane Wrapping
Cellophane wrappers keep apples good for several days. They are a must in high humidity areas.
Wrap apples as soon as they cool.

028_082715
Good sanitation practice demands that all food preparation equipment be cleaned regularly (only
use non-toxic, food grade cleaners).
For surfaces needing further cleaning or degreasing, Watchdog Stainless Cleaner (Item No. 2088)
is available for use accordingly. For any cleaning products used, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions on the product. DO NOT use oven cleaners or abrasive materials as they will
damage parts of machine.
Follow the directions below to clean the unit each day after use.
1. Turn the unit OFF and unplug it—allow unit to cool before attempting to clean.
2. Do not leave water in pans overnight. Clean all pans/accessories after each use—
remove the insert and take it to sink to clean.
3. If required, carefully clean the element area with a vacuum only.
4. Wipe remaining unit surfaces clean with a soft cloth, SLIGHTLY dampened with soap
and hot water, then wipe again to remove any remaining cleaner.
5. Thoroughly dry unit after cleaning.
