"After some quick testing, I found that the unit is so well made and functions so flawlessly that I needed to make a heat shield and added some holes to allow the heat to flow up and kettle evenly and not create a hot spot in the bottom. After I installed the heat shield (which is a patentable component) I called NC and told them what needs to be added to the kettles asap. With a quick removal of three wing nuts and the heat shield and you have a commercial cooker capable of 450 degrees. The hat shield needs to be in place for chocolate, soap or wax.

After I installed the heat shield, the unit was powered up again and the cycle started."

..."I drilled three holes and secured over heat and fan units."

..."I drilled some holes to allow proper airflow."

..."With the press of a button the unit cycled and shot to 130 degrees in minutes. The GREEN is the set temperature and the RED will go from room temperature to the set GREEN temperature and will remain at that temperature for the time that it is set to stay there."

..."Pressing the time key will tell you how much time the temperature will remain at that setting. 00.05 means there is 5 minutes left for the temperature to remain at 130 degrees.

NOTE: if you want to have the unit turn on so its ready in the morning, the 00.00 will allow up to 99 hours of preset time."

..."Another press of the arrow key will tell you that the unit is operating 5-02. the 5 is the banked program that contains set temperatures. The -02 means that the unit is on its second set of temperatures in that saved program 5. All programs start out at -00 this saved program of various temperatures is saved as program 5 so the read out on start up is 5-00. Once my 130 degrees at 5 minutes is up the unit will advance to 5-01 then 5-02 etc. (this image shows program 5 in its 2nd set of temperatures)"

..."Once the saved setting is reached for its programmed time, the unit will advance to the 3rd set of saved temperatures and times. Here the GREEN temp now reads 91 degrees. that is because the MELT temperature time went to 00.00 and the unit advanced to 5-03

The operator can choose to look at three (in GREEN) readings. The temp as seen here, the time as seen at 00-05 or the saved programs and segments 5-02 etc.

For the operator seeing the temperatures is best.

I am creating a setting manual that will be easy and to the point with out the other features of this PID unit can do that we do not need.

There will be 8 banks and each bank can accommodate 8 settings and time (we will only need 6 at the max)

this may be hard to understand but the brochure will be step by step with images. We will offer presets as well for 3 of the most popular chocolates used by most. The operator just has to choose 1-8 programs and hit start.

Once the programs are saved the operator just has to hit that 1-8 and hit start and that's it. An hour later and chocolate is ready...."
