Can I use just the Motor without turning on the Heating element? I need to push through some dipping sauces instead of choclate.

I guess you could use it without the heat as long as it is in a liquid form, not too thick. The heat is to prevent the chocolate from becoming hard or thick. One way to know, try it.

Nope sadly its automatic. But dont waste your money on this product the heating element doesnt keep anything melted and the motor goes out after two uses. 0 stars after only 1 month of use

Yes, you do not have to have the heat on. This is a Wonderful machine and worth every penny!

No problem. Just cut the hot/power side and install the speed controler. I did the same on mine. I use mine as an extractor over my stove. Works great !

I have never tried this. In thinking, the vacuum would not be in the sauces jar, but around it. I really have doubts about this. I'd hate to see you lose all the sauces if it didn't work.

I did not use a motor. I ordered 3 more dishes and a 3 dollar splitter. They work great...

Totally not a good idea. It is a powder and will fall through the screen and coat the heating coils and possibly the drive motor works. At best causing the coils to burn out or even start a fire. I keep mine in a big salt shaker and it is good sprinkled on afterward in the bowl.

I haven't tried but based on your ability to set the temperature as low as 150 I can't see why touch couldn't if you're looking to cook whatever it is during the same process. set shorter time at lower temp, no steam and check it after 5 minutes etc. Then reset for normal cooking

Yes you can, but the drawer spins the motor and you have a certain amount of torque to overcome. The electric action is not the fastest in the world but the drawer opens and closes fairly quickly. You can push the close button half way through the open cycle without affecting the motor. It reverses quickly. Sometimes I have a small item to place in the drawer and don't wait until it is fully open.

I believe you can just have to see what the requirements are for the motor. I am using it to keep my food cold when I travel. Hope that helps.

Yes, you can. To heat up the milk and not froth it, you would not put on the cappuccino or latte attachments. The milk would still get stirred as the machine heated it up but it wouldn't be geaten "beaten" to a froth.

You can only if it is not to wet. I also don't turn on the steam feature if my hair is damp.

Normal operating mode is non-heat. You have to select heat to have it active. You will love this item! I know I do...Jaci in Ocala, FL

No, you cannot do this. For this purpose I suggest you to use butane burner, which you can buy separately

Short answer, no. After disconnecting the d/w water and electrical, then removing it from the cabinet and inverting the d/w, there are 1/4" fast-ons that are "unplugged." Then remove the plastic "nuts" to remove the heating element. Reverse the process to install. Customer ease of install I would put at 4 out of 5 difficulty.

You can, but it's not recommended. I assume it's bad for the motor or something to that effect.

I don't know why not, but I do know that you should never try to start the motor with the heater still pluged in. It's in the fine print of the instructions. Thats's how I ruined the last heater.

Yes, and I have made a lot of great ice cream. However, I have had to do it manually; with the crank. The motor broke after about five uses.
