INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing The CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN.

This chocolate fountain has a beautiful effect of flowing chocolate

that will add mouth-watering fun to any occasion.

Your friends and family will enjoy the fun of the CHOCOLATE

FONDUE FOUNTAIN. Please take care of your machine by

following these simple instructions and precautions.

You can use a variety of foods, chocolates or sauces with your

CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN to create the flavor you desire.

Depending on what you choose, you can use;

Milk Chocolate

Dark Semi Sweet Chocolate

White Chocolate

Butterscotch

To dip strawberries, marshmallows, apple wedges, pretzels, cookies,

ice cream balls, peanut butter balls, create mini Smores, – use your

imagination! Add liqueurs for sophisticated flavors.

You can use CHEESE! Dip grapes, apples, breads, shrimp/seafood,

crackers, and pretzels – use your imagination! In order to use

cheese, you just need to prepare the cheese as you would for a

regular fondue pot by diluting it with white wine or cream to keep it

liquid, enabling it to flow through the tower - though powdered

cheese can work well too.

Bar-B-Q Sauces work well too! Use your favorite Sauce and have

prepared chicken cubes, beef/steak cubes, pork cubes to dip – you

choose! Keep in mind the consistency need to be thin. Use wine,

liquor or other liquids to dilute the sauce.

for a different presentation to any occasion, such as;

Weddings

Birthdays

Graduation Parties

Business Gatherings

Holidays

INSTRUCTIONS

The CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN is easy to use, just follow

these simple instructions.

Your CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN requires little assembly.

Wipe out base bowl with a damp cloth and dry. Wash Auger and

Tower in warm soapy water, rinse then dry.

(See Diagram on Page 7 for parts)

After cleaning, return auger to base making sure it is securely in

place by aligning the opening on the bottom of the auger to the motor

base pin. Make sure it is secured and locked into position. Do not

attempt to place auger or tower on base or remove from base

while motor is on. Make sure tower is fitted on the posts in the

base properly.

Using your CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN

Using the correct chocolate

Your unit will work with any chocolate. However, the best chocolate

to use is pure Belgian Chocolate, high in cocoa butter, that is

formulated for chocolate fondue fountains. This chocolate requires

no oil to function and is rich and decadent. You can purchase this

type of chocolate online at any website that sells commercial

chocolate fondue fountains.

Fortunately you do not need to go far to use your new fondue

fountain. Simply go into your cupboard or local market and purchase

chocolate chips used for baking in your baking aisle of the local

store. These bags come in 10 ounce and 12 ounce sizes and in

flavors such as;

*Semi Sweet Chocolate

*Milk Chocolate

*White Chocolate

butterscotch

peanut butter

and more

Since these chips are low in cocoa butter, they need oil to make it

flow correctly. The types of oil you can use are;

Canola oil

Vegetable oil 4

INSTRUCTIONS - Cont’d.

Now that you have your selected chocolate, follow these instructions

to begin:

1) Find a stable surface near an electrical outlet before starting.

Then make sure the unit is level. It is important for the unit to

be level to create the desired flowing effect.

2) After plugging in the unit, make sure your unit works by

testing the motor function to see that the auger turns and

that the heater works. Once this is done. Turn both off.

3) Now that you are ready to begin, turn the heater knob to the

ON position.

In the meantime, get a microwaveable bowl. Fill with 2 bags of your

chips (24 ounces) and ¾ of a cup of oil- UNLESS YOU ARE USING

BELGIAN CHOCOLATE). Place in the microwave for 3 minutes.

Then stir until it is a rich smooth texture with no unmelted chips. If

need, microwave for 1 to 2 minutes more.

4) Pour melted chocolate into bowl at the base of the unit. Fill

just before the rim. Then turn the motor to the ON position.

Watch the chocolate get pulled up and then come down the

fountain tiers.

5) Let the unit flow for 2 minutes. Then turn the motor OFF for

30 seconds, to eliminate any air gap possibly causing the

chocolate not to flow well. Then turn the motor back ON. If

the flow is not good, add 1/8 of a cup of oil to thin the

chocolate slightly. Also, then check to make sure the unit is

level.

You should now have a nice flowing fountain.

NEVER ADD HARD CHIPS TO A FOUNTAIN WHILE THE MOTOR

IS RUNNING. ONLY ADD MELTED, SMOOTH CHOCOLATE.

NEVER ADD COLD LIQUID TO CHOCOLATE, AS IT MAY CAUSE

THE FLOW TO STOP. ONLY ADD WARMED FLUIDS.

ALWAYS CHECK TO MAKE SURE NO CHUNKS OF FOOD ARE IN

THE BASE AS IT MAY CLOG THE FLOW OF CHOCOLATE.

REMOVE WITH A SLOTTED SPOON.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE/REMEDY

Chocolate is dripping, not flowing Chocolate is too thick, thin with vegetable

oil. Unit is not LEVEL. Level unit.

Chocolate is flowing unevenly, but not

Sheeting Unit is not LEVEL, level unit so that

chocolate is evenly distributed around the

tower to ensure proper sheeting.

Flow is intermittent, interrupted, not

flowing properly Check for chunks of food in base that

may be clogging the chocolate flow to

base of tower, remove any chunks found.

DO NOT ADD COOL OR COLD LIQUID – THIS WILL STOP THE

FLOW OF THE FOUNTAIN.

By following these simple instructions, your CHOCOLATE FONDUE

FOUNTAIN will be fun for friends, family, and kids of all ages...by

creating a beautiful effect of mouth-watering chocolate for dipping

everyone’s favorite snacks.

NOTE: To prolong the life of your CHOCOLATE FONDUE

FOUNTAIN be sure to follow the cleaning instructions after every use

and make sure the tower is flushed while washing the unit to prevent

chocolate build up. Never use anything abrasive on the base to

maintain the original finish.

CLEANING

1. Make sure unit is unplugged before cleaning. Remove auger

and tower and soak.

2. Before first use and continuing after each use, be sure to wash

the tower, and auger thoroughly. Tower and auger are best to

soak but are dishwasher safe as well.

3. To make cleaning of the CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN

easier, carefully remove the tower and auger (after cooling),

wipe off remaining chocolate with paper towels. Soak in hot,

soapy water for 5 minutes. Wash, rinse and dry.

DO NOT POUR OUT EXCESS OR LEFTOVER CHOCOLATE

DOWN DRAIN OR IN TOILET. POUR IN PLASTIC BAG OR

DISPOSABLE CONTAINER THEN INTO THE GARBAGE.

4. Carefully pour out as much remaining chocolate from the base

bowl as possible. Use damp sponge or clothe to wipe clean the

remainder and to clean the outside of the unit, wipe with a non-

abrasive towel to dry. NOTE: DO NOT IMMERSE BASE IN

WATER, THIS HOLDS ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL

COMPONENTS.

The CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN breaks down to – motor

base, tower, and auger. See below.

Enhance your presentation with “Liquor Flavored Chocolates”-

Prior to mixing the liquor with the chocolate, you can burn off the

alcohol of the liquor, if you choose, by cooking it on the stove top,

bring to a boil – the alcohol burns off, leaving only the flavor. Mix this

with your choice of chocolate before adding to the CHOCOLATE

FONDUE FOUNTAIN.

Desired Flavor Use

Orange Chocolate Gran Marnier

Chocolate Hazelnut Frangelico

Coffee Chocolate Kahlua

Mint Chocolate Crème de Menthe

Chocolate Macaroon Coconut Mix

Chocolate Liqueur Godiva Liqueur

Using a measuring cup, add ¼ cup of liquor additive (more or less,

depending on your taste).

NOTE: For best results your chocolate needs to be 60% cocoa, any

higher percentage will require you add more vegetable oil to thin the

mixture. DO NOT ADD ANY COLD LIQUIDS TO FOUNTAIN

DURING OPERATION. This will cause your mixture to thicken and

not flow properly.
