OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Controls and Their Functions
HEAT/MOTOR SWITCH
Two position, ON/OFF lighted rocker switch – provides power to the heating elements in
the bottom of the kettle, and powers the mixing motor to turn for an allotted amount of
time depending on what mode the unit is in. The green switch light ON indicates there is
power to these features.
Note: It is normal for the mixing motor to stop for an allotted amount of time every
minute (see Operate/Clean Switch description).
MOTOR ONLY SWITCH
Two position, ON/OFF lighted rocker switch – provides power to the mixing motor to run
continuously. This switch is only needed if the intermittent Heat/Motor Switch is not
providing the desired fudge texture during mixing or desired cleaning results.
OPERATE/CLEAN SWITCH
Two position, toggle switch – determines the set point and timer setting for Operate
mode, and Clean mode.
Operate Mode: For making fudge, in Operate mode the set point temperature is 85°F,
and the mixing timing is factory set to turn ON for 55 seconds of every minute;
then turn OFF for 5 seconds of every minute (when the Motor Only Switch is OFF).
Clean Mode: DO NOT atte pt to ake fudge in the Clean ode. In Clean mode, the set
point temperature is higher (230°F), and the mixing timing is factory set to turn
ON for 30 seconds of every minute; then turn OFF for 30 seconds of every minute
(when the Motor Only Switch is OFF).
CIRCUIT BREAKER
The Circuit Breaker protects the Mixing Motor and Heat Control from an overload condition.

DIGITAL HEAT CONTROL
The Digital Heat Control adjusts the set point temperature of the unit for making fudge.
Operate Mode: In Operate mode, the Heat Control “set point temperature” is factory
preset to 85°F. This is the temperature needed to achieve an approximate
“Product Temperature” of 60°F. See Heat Control Adjustment section for
adjusting the set point temperature.
Clean Mode: In Clean mode, the Heat Control set point temperature is factory preset
higher at 230°F, for cleaning the unit. See Heat Control Adjustment section for
adjusting the set point temperature.
Buttons/Indicator Light Descriptions
UP Button / DOWN Button – adjusts the Set Point Temperature UP or DN.
Index Button – scrolls through the temperature digits (ones, tens, hundreds) to
adjust the set point in larger increments.
Enter Button – locks in temperature adjustments made with the UP or DN Buttons,
(Reference the Digital Heat Control Adjustment section.)
Digital Display
•The upper temperature shown on the display (in yellow background) is the heat
sensor (RTD) temperature; this is not the same as the product temperature.
•The lower temperature shown on the display (in green background) is the set point
temperature, factory preset to 85°F. (Reference the Digital Heat Control
Adjustment section.)
OUT 1/Heating Indicator Display
•OUT and Heat Indicator Display are ON when the unit is heating.
•When OUT and Heat Indicator Display turns OFF, unit has reached set point
temperature.

Digital Heat Control Adjustment
For best results, fudge should be cooked until it is ‘whipped’. So what does ‘whipped’ mean?
Generally speaking, this means that all of the sugar has been hydrated which creates a fluffy,
smooth, not gritty, shiny & uniformly mixed product. ‘Whipping’ occurs with our Sweet
Selections Fudge Mix when the product has reached a temperature of approximately 60°F
(takes approx. 2- 5 minutes once all ingredients have been added and initially mixed in).
In order to achieve this product temperature the digital control on Gold Medal’s Fudge Machine
should be set at 85°F. *It is i portant to note that due to variations in your electrical current,
as well as what type of fudge you are making and what type of inclusions or add-ins you may be
using, optimum product temperatures may be slightly higher or slightly lower than 60°F. Thus,
using a candy thermometer to check actual product temperature plus a well trained and
experienced eye (to know when it has been ‘whipped’) is critical to achieving the best result
possible. (Reference the Making Fudge section for complete instructions on how to make fudge.)
The Set Point Te perature is preset at the factory to 85°F (the bottom digital display
temperature seen on the green background). The top digital display temperature (seen on the
yellow background) shows the heat sensor temperature in the kettle. This is NOT the product
temperature.
Note: The Set Point Te perature will be higher than the product te perature.
Refer to the candy ther o eter for accurate product te perature.
Digital Heat Control Adjustment
If the fudge product cooks too fast, or too slow, the Set Point Te perature may need to be
adjusted. Follow the steps listed to increase or decrease the set point temperature of the kettle.
Note: OUT and Heat Indicator Display will turn OFF when unit reaches the set point
temperature.
. To change the Set Point Temperature, make sure unit is in the desired mode (Operate
or Clean).
2. Turn the Heat/Motor Switch ON.
3. Press the or button to raise or lower the Set Point Temperature as needed.
4. Once the temperature is set, press the Button to lock in the new temperature.
5. To change the Set Point Temperature of the other mode, turn the Heat/Motor Switch
OFF, then repeat from Step .
