Temp. read on my ACMC

[Rhubarb]

So the other night my ACMC chocolate temperer, on startup, started giving its temp. readings in Celsius. I've been working in Fahrenheit for ages, and now I'm doing a bunch of silly conversions with decimals. Anyone know how to switch it back? Thanks!

Shouldn't there be a switch from F to C?

Those machines are sold worldwide...

Good Luck.

Yes, there should be! But none in evidence...hmm, maybe I tripped something on the inside when cleaning.

Call the factory or email them.

This website seems to be all about it.

Good Luck

Your probably thought of this, but you could also just post a piece of paper with the conversions so you can look it up quickly.

Though, if I remmeber, you have to increment temperature by 1 degree so that would make a difference if it is C or F.

[tan319]

Most chocolate manufacturers have slightly different conversions.

Whatever, this is why I......urgggghhhhh, nevermind...

Heh heh, thanks. I'm not married to my thermometers, just lazily hoping for a quick return to normality. High time I got acquainted with Celsius anyway.

go on the internet and talk to these people.

Chefs that were tempering chocolate when we were all still playing with mudpies use ACMC's.

Nothing to be ashamed of.

My partner says take off the bowl that you melt the choc in ( I presume you were when cleaning) and you will see a circuit board.

On either side of the board you'll see swithes for 'C' & 'F .

You probably already did it but post if you didn't and it worked, please?

Best of luck

Heey, exactly right! Just switched 'er over. Soon all those thirtysomethings will seem like a crazy dream. Thanks! (O eGullet, is there anything you can't do?)

The credit goes to Tim Horst who also says those Wybauw designed melting "tubs" are the s%^&t too!

Good Luck!
