full length of the column, give a slight turn to the auger until you feel the slot at the auger bottom lock in the
auger drive key in the center of the bowl base.
4. With the fountain fully assembled and level, it is time to get the chocolate fountain warmed up. Set the
temperature control for 125 degrees to preheat fountain.
Filling the Chocolate Fountain
1. The MFCF27 Chocolate Fountain holds up to 10 lbs. of chocolate; it needs 5 lbs. of chocolate to operate
smoothly. Chocolate wafers specifically for chocolate fountains can be purchased at AC Moore,
Walmart, Michaels or Weaver Nut Company.
2. Wafers should be melted before adding to the chocolate fountain (they can be melted in a microwave-
safe bowl in the microwave, stirring frequently to ensure smooth quality).
3. Preheat the chocolate fountain by setting the temperature control to 125 degrees; add the pre-melted
chocolate wafers and switch on motor. Allow a few minutes for the chocolate to stabilize, then check
the temperature of the chocolate. Place a thermometer right under the top crown of the fountain to
get an accurate reading (temperature should be 106-108 degrees). Adjust the temperature as needed.
4. If the chocolate does not flow properly after the allowed time or it is noisy, switch motor off for a few
seconds and turn back on. This allows the dry spots or air pockets to settle.
5. In some cases, vegetable oil will be necessary to ensure a smooth, even flow of chocolate through the
fondue fountain. A good estimate is ½ cup of vegetable oil per five lbs. of chocolate. Just add the oil
directly to melted chocolate wafers and stir.
Chocolate Fountain Cleaning Instructions
1. Make sure the chocolate fountain is turned off and unplugged.
2. Use a rubber spatula or similar utensil to scrape excess chocolate from the tiers into the base bowl.
3. To prevent chocolate from dripping; lift and remove the top cap, auger, tiers and main column and
place into a plastic bag (Top cap, auger, tiers and cylinder can be placed in a dishwasher for cleaning
and sanitizing).
NEVER PLACE BASE IN DISHWASHER OR SUBMERGE IN WATER!
The base contains a motor and other electrical components that will be damaged by water. Damp
cloths should be used to wipe down the outside of the base and the bowl.
4. Allow the base to cool. Carefully remove excess chocolate from base. We recommend pouring excess
chocolate into a lined garbage can. Never pour chocolate down a sink as it will harden and cause
major plumbing problems.
5. Scrape the bowl clean with a rubber spatula, then use warm soapy water, wipe the bowl clean with a
cloth or towel.
