Hello, I have a Rev2 but I haven't used it yet, I wonder if I can change at will (up and down)the default melting and tempering temperatures for the chocolate. I'm using "El Rey" chocolate and they recomend for their dark chocolate: Melting 83-93 F, Tempering 122-131 F, Cooling 82-84 and Working range 88-90 F

Thanks for your help

Eduardo

Yes, you can change the temperatures in the Rev 2. Start the melting cycle, and press the up arrow to reach the temp you want (122-131 F. is higher than I have seen for most chocolates--I aim for 113-115). The machine will signal you when the selected temp has been reached. Then you must select Temper 1 or 2. If you are using already tempered chocolate as seed, it is much faster to select Temper 2 (you don't need to lower the temp, then raise it to the working temp). The machine then starts lowering temperature. You can select the temp you want as an end point. I let the machine go to its default temp (which is in the 80s), then use the up arrow to heat the chocolate (dark) up to 90 or 91. All the changes are performed with the up and down arrows.
