Before Using For The First Time

Important Information  
READ BEFORE USING YOUR Salton® MELTED BLISS™  
CHOCOLATE TREAT MAKER FOR THE FIRST TIME.  
• Read all instructions.  
• Your Melted Bliss™ Chocolate Treat Maker is only designed  
to keep the chocolate warm (Position LO) or to melt down  
finely chopped dark, milk or white chocolate up to the MAX  
line approximately 8 ounces (Position HI). It is not designed  
for cooking.  
• If the melted chocolate is to be further processed, always use  
another vessel and allow the chocolate to cool down a little.  
• Both the Melted Bliss™ Chocolate Treat Maker, the Molds  
and the chocolate must be completely dry and be at room  
temperature.  
• Never add water to the chocolate. If the mass is too thick,  
reheat it in the Melted Bliss™ Chocolate Treat Maker and add  
1/2 teaspoon of vegetable shortening and stir well. If it is too  
thin (runny) or too hot, add a little more of the finely chopped  
chocolate.  
• To obtain a nice shine on chocolate icing, add (1/2 tsp) cocoa  
butter or coconut butter to the mass.  
• Some recipes call for the addition of sugar or honey. Use  
sparingly.  
• Never wash any removable parts of the Melted Bliss™  
Chocolate Treat Maker in the dishwasher.  
• Save these instructions and refer to them often.
