- You will be asked if you want to warm your trays- (the need to warm varies by brand and machine)
- If you choose to warm the trays it will set an automatic 1 minute countdown. You can adjust this as needed.
- After the trays warm the cycle will start.

Not intended
Notes:
Gummy candy takes patience. If you stop the load too early they will deflate. Temp and time tend to be brand and machine dependent, what works for one person may not work for you.
