So, just picked up a Revolation x3210 and am in theprocess of testing it on my first batch. Knowing that the low end waspossibly not low enough for the batch i'm using, I set the machine to go down to 80F (thelowest possible). Everything was fine until it got to 80.7F and thechocolate mass started thickening and raising higher and higher out ofthe bowl. It didn't want to go lower than 80.7F (according to the display), so I attempted to justraise the low end temp up to 80.8F to get the machine to kick on to thenext phase of tempering. For some reason it wouldn't let me adjust thetemp (higher or lower). I hit the pause button, then tried to restart about 10 secs later, but the chocolatehad thickened enough to stop the bowl from rotating and it gave me anerror. At this point, the only button that worked was "Reset" and I ended up starting over (and as of writing this, am still in the process of restarting
)
my questions: why couldn't i adjust the lower end temp when it seemed to stall (temp wise)?

once i get the error message, is the only choice left to start the whole process over?

thanks,
mike

Alright, second time around, I set the low end temp to 80.9F and it didn't recognize the set point at all and just kept dropping. Again it wouldn't let me adjust any settings at all. I put it in sleep mode, then re-started and set the high melt temp to 91F to salvage my temper.Am I experiencing a software glitch with not being able to adjust the low temp set point? My instructions don't really elaborate on the steps.

Two changes we made with the chocolate is that this time we winnowed the chocolate. This time we didn't use a blow dryer to melt the chocolate. Two improvements with the chocolate is that the melanger didn't get clogged this time and everyone put in work.
