-
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plugin anyway. -
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled or tripping over a long cord.
-
If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
• Extension cords can be used if care is exercised in their use.
• The marked electrical rating of the cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• When using a longer cord or extension cord, make sure that the cord does not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on or tripped over unintentionally. -
The manufacturer does not recommend using this machine in countries that do not support 120V AC even if a voltage adapter, transformer, or converter is in use.

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the CHOCOLATE & CARAMEL APPLE PARTY from Nostalgia™! A timeless tradition made more convenient, family and friends can gather around to enjoy sweet or salty combinations of crisp apples, warm caramel or chocolate, and a variety of toppings. This unit holds about 2 cups of caramel or chocolate and comes with four apple decorating trays and six topping trays for your favorite candy or nuts. It’s great for special occasions or making the everyday special!
PARTS & ASSEMBLY
Assembly
- Thread the power cord of the heated base through the center of the carousel, then set the heated base into the center of the carousel. To keep the unit level, make sure the power cord is placed into the notch in the bottom of the carousel.
- Set the melting pot into the center of the heated base, and set the melting pot lid
- Place the topping trays and decorating trays into the slots on the outside of the carousel.
HOW TO OPERATE
-
Before first use, wipe down the heated base, melting pot, lid, and trays with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry thoroughly. Be very careful to not get any water in the heated base, or the unit will not function.
-
Find a dry, heat-resistant, level surface near an electrical outlet.
-
Using your own recipe or following a recipe included in this instruction manual, prepare your chocolate or caramel mixture.
NOTE: You may also use pieces of caramel or chocolate candies in the melting pot. To speed up the process, it is useful to pre-melt caramel or chocolate candies in the microwave before placing them in the melting pot. DO NOT use recipes that are heavy in oil, as this will inhibit the mixture from sticking to the apple. -
Fill the topping trays with your favorite apple toppings.
-
Place the melting pot into the heated base and plug in the appliance.
-
Fill the melting pot with your chosen caramel or chocolate. Be very careful not to overfill the pot. DO NOT exceed the 16-ounce maximum capacity, and keep in mind the amount of mixture you will displace when dipping the apple.
-
**** Steam may be released from food during cooking. For your safety, avoid contact with steam, as it is very hot and can cause burns.
-
Be careful to watch the melting pot and stir the mixture if necessary. DO NOT let the mixture boil over, as this could cause burns.
-
When the mixture is ready to serve, insert a stick into an apple and dip the apple into the mixture in the melting pot, coating it with the mixture. Place dipped apples into the decorating trays to harden slightly.
IMPORTANT: Do not skip this step. Toppings will slide off apples if dipped into topping directly after the mixture. Multiple dippings may be required to achieve the desired coating. -
After the mixture on the apples has cooled slightly, carefully coat the apples with your favorite nuts, candies, and other toppings from the outside trays.
-
Place each completed apple back into the decorating trays to harden.
-
As soon as you are finished, unplug the appliance and allow to cool. BE CAREFUL, as the base and melting pot will still be hot.
-
Once the appliance is cool, empty the remaining heated mixture into a bag or trash receptacle and follow the directions in the Cleaning & Maintenance section to clean your CHOCOLATE & CARAMEL APPLE PARTY.
HELPFUL TIPS
NEVER leave the unit unattended while operating.
If toppings do not stick to dipped apples, the mixture may be too hot. Allow
mixture on apple to cool slightly before dipping in toppings.
DO NOT use recipes that are heavy in oil, as this will inhibit the mixture
from sticking to the apple.
If the initial coating is too thin, let set and then dip the apple in the mixture again. Repeat as necessary.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Please take care of your CHOCOLATE & CARAMEL APPLE PARTY by following these simple instructions and precautions.
- Disconnect from the electrical outlet by unplugging the appliance.
- Make sure the appliance is completely cool before cleaning.
- Remove all parts from the heated base.
- Dispose of any remaining mixture by emptying it into a bag or trash receptacle. It is not recommended that you pour the leftover mixture down the sink.
- Hand washes melting pot and trays in warm, soapy water with a non-abrasive cloth.
- Dry parts thoroughly with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
- Wipe the heated base with a dry, non-abrasive cloth. Make sure that no water gets inside of the heated base.
- DO NOT put any parts in a dishwasher.
- NEVER immerse the heated base or cord in water.
