This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will t into the polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not properly t into the outlet at rst, reverse it. If it still does not t, contact a
competent qualied electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming
entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
• The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least that of the
appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension cord is too low, it could
overheat and burn.
• The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over
the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over

or other classic recipes – just use your imagination! You can even add liqueurs to create

If you’re aiming for a savory snack, you can also use this fountain with CHEESE or
cheese sauces! Dip grapes, apples, breads, shrimp/seafood, crackers, pretzels, or
endless other options! In order to use cheese, you would prepare the cheese as you
would for a traditional fondue pot by diluting it with white wine and cream to keep it
liquid, enabling it to ow through the tower. Powdered cheeses can work well too.
BBQ Sauces work well with this fountain, too! Use your favorite sauce and have
prepared chicken cubes, beef/steak cubes, pork cubes to dip – you choose! Keep in
mind that the consistency needs to be thin. Use wine, liquor or other liquids to dilute the
sauce.
The Chocolate Fondue Fountain creates a beautiful effect for a unique presentation
for any occasion, such as weddings, graduation or birthday parties, or any kind of
celebrations at the ofce or with friends and family.
• Remove all packaging material and wipe out the base bowl with a damp cloth
and dry. Make sure no water penetrates in the motor unit.
• Clean the auger and the tower with soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly.

Make sure all switches are in OFF position and that the appliance is unplugged before
assembling. Never attempt to place the auger or the tower on the base while the motor
is running.
First, assemble the 4 parts of tower together (3 disks + 1 tube). To assemble the appliance,
put the auger on the axle in the center of the bowl, and pass the tower over the auger,
making sure that the three openings on the bottom of the tower t in the three pins in the
center of the bowl.
To work properly, the surface must be level. If it is not completely level, you can adjust the
position of the appliance by turning the height-adjusting feet in the adequate direction.
• Once the appliance is correctly assembled, plug it into a wall socket.
• To start, turn the switch (1) clockwise to activate the heater. The pilot light goes on,
indicating that the appliance is heating.
• Let the unit warm up for at least 3 to 5 minutes before adding the melted chocolate.
• In the meantime, prepare the chocolate as follows:
Combine 1.5lbs / 25 oz. of chocolate chips with 1 cup of cooking oil (for example canola
oil) in a microwave safe bowl. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat for 2 minutes. It is
advised not to heat at full power, but rather to use the 50% power setting. Remove and stir
the chocolate; if the chocolate is not completely melted after stirring, cook for an additional
2 minutes or until chocolate is completely melted. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate
in a saucepan using the bain-marie method, or use a chocolate melter. You can also use
chocolate that is pre-mixed with oil—it is specially designed to be used with fountains and
will get you an optimal consistency as soon as melted.
IMPORTANT: The chocolate needs to be completely melted and must be of a thin
consistency before it is poured into the fountain. This will allow a proper ow of the
chocolate. To check the consistency of the chocolate, dip a large spoon into the chocolate.
The chocolate should ow smoothly off the back of the spoon. If the chocolate is too thick,
add more oil.
CAUTION: chocolate burns very easily; keep an eye on the chocolate when melting.
IMPORTANT: Never add cold or cool liquids to the melted chocolate in the fountain. This will
disrupt and stop the ow of chocolate.
• Once the chocolate is completely melted and is of the proper consistency, carefully pour it
into the bowl located at the base of the tower.
• Then turn the switch to the “MOTOR + HEAT” position. The motor should now turn the
auger while chocolate in the basin is kept heated. The melted chocolate will be drawn under

the tower and pulled up by the auger through the tower tier. The chocolate will then begin
to ow to the top of the tower tier and ow evenly over the sides of each tier if the chocolate
fountain is level.
• You can now dip fruit pieces, marshmallows or cookies in the chocolate ow to coat them
with melted chocolate. Use the fondue forks supplied to place the pieces under the chocolate
cascade.
IMPORTANT: The unit must be level in order for the chocolate to ow evenly and properly.
Check the fountain consistently so as to avoid food pieces falling into the chocolate. Food
pieces will stop the ow of chocolate.
• Once nished, turn the switch to the “Off” position, and unplug the appliance from the wall
outlet.
• To extend the life of the unit be sure to properly follow all cleaning instructions after every
use. Make sure the chocolate is removed from the tower tier while washing the fountain, to
avoid chocolate build up. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or abrasive cloth, sponge,
scouring pad, or the like, on the fountain.
Cleaning and care
1. Turn the switch to the OFF position, unplug the appliance, and let it cool down completely
before cleaning. Tower, auger and base can be very hot!
2. Once the parts are completely cooled, carefully remove the tower and auger from the
base and wipe off the remaining chocolate with paper towels.
3. Thoroughly wash the tower and the auger with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
4. Do not wash parts in the dishwasher.
NOTE: DO NOT POUR EXCESS CHOCOLATE DOWN THE TOILET, GARBAGE
DISPOSAL, OR SINK DRAIN. POUR INTO A DISPOSABLE CONTAINER AND THEN
DISCARD INTO GARBAGE.
5. Carefully pour out as much remaining chocolate from the base bowl as is possible. Use a
damp sponge or non-abrasive cloth to wipe out the remainder of the chocolate and to clean
the outside of the fountain.
6. NEVER IMMERSE THE MOTOR BASE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
Troubleshooting
Q: Chocolate is too thick, and dripping, not owing
A: Add vegetable oil to thin the consistency.
Q: Chocolate is owing unevenly but is not sheeting.
A: Unit is not level. Level the unit to ensure proper sheeting.
Q: Flow of chocolate is not continuous.
A: Check for pieces of food around the base of the tower.
Carefully remove any pieces of food stuck at the base of the tower.
