Chocolate preparation: We recommend a chocolate with cocoa butter content of more than 40%. Example like coverture chocolate is recommended. High percentage of cocoa butter/ oil allows a smoother cascade and a rich, creamy appearance. This fountain requires 2 lbs max of chocolate for use. The chocolate shall be melted prior putting to the appliance: Microwave method – Place 2 lbs chocolate with ¾ cups of oil in microwave and heat for 1 minute at 500-600qC. Stir until the chocolate is melted. Hot water method – Stir chocolate in a bowl over hot/warm water until it melts. The water should not be in contact with the chocolate. Continue adding chocolate until the desired amount has been melted.
If regular chocolate is used, add some vegetable oil to the chocolate until it is thin enough to allow a smooth cascade. Dip a spoon into the melted chocolate and see how well it flows off the spoon. Add more oil and stir if necessary. DISMANTLING AND ASSEMBLY
