INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing The MINI STAINLESS STEEL CHOCOLATE
FONDUE FOUNTAIN™. This chocolate fountain creates a cascade of
sweetness that will add mouth-watering fun to any occasion.
Your friends and family will enjoy snacks, appetizers and desserts with
the MINI STAINLESS STEEL CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN™. Please
take care of your machine by following these simple instructions.
You can use a variety of chocolates and sauces with your MINI
STAINLESS STEEL CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN™
to create the flavor you desire. Try the following:
Milk Chocolate•
Dark Semi-Sweet Chocolate•
White Chocolate•
Butterscotch•
Dip strawberries, marshmallows, apple wedges, pretzels, cookies, ice cream balls,
peanut butter balls – use your imagination! Add liqueurs for sophisticated flavors.
You can also melt cheese to create a cheese fondue fountain. Dip grapes,
apples, breads, shrimp, 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. Powdered cheese may be used as well.
Barbeque sauces may also be used. Try your favorite barbeque
sauce and dip cooked chicken cubes, beef/steak cubes, pork cubes
or shrimp. Keep in mind the consistency of the sauce needs to be
thin. Use wine, liquor or other liquids to thin the sauce.

HOW TO OPERATE
First, find a stable surface near an electrical outlet before starting.•
Unit must be level to operate properly and to create the desired
flowing effect. Make sure your cord is away from any water
source. If needed, it is acceptable to use an extension cord.
Turn the switch on the right to start the heater on the MINI STAINLESS•
STEEL CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN™. Let the unit warm up
for at least 3–5 minutes before adding melted chocolate.
While the machine is warming up, get a microwaveable bowl. Fill bowl•
with two bags of chocolate chips (24 ounces) and ¾ of a cup of oil.
If you are using Belgian Chocolate, you do not need to add oil.
Place in microwave for 2½ minutes. When done, stir chocolate.•
If necessary, continue to warm chocolate in microwave until
melting is complete (another 2 to 2½ minutes).
Never add cool or cold liquids to the melted chocolate•
in the fountain as this will stop the flow.
Chocolate needs to be completely melted and of thin consistency to allow•
proper flow. Use a large spoon to test the consistency of the chocolate. If the
chocolate drips too thickly from the spoon, add more oil to the mixture.
Once the chocolate is completely melted and of proper consistency,•
turn the switch to the HEAT/MOTOR position on the MINI
STAINLESS STEEL CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN™so that
the motor and the heater are running at the same time.
Carefully pour the melted chocolate into the Bowl at the base of the•
Tower. The melted chocolate should be drawn under the Tower and
carried up the Tower by the Auger. Chocolate should then begin to flow
from the top of the Tower and cascade evenly down each tier.
The MINI STAINLESS STEEL CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN™ must•
be level to ensure proper sheeting of the chocolate. Be careful not to
drop pieces of food into the Bowl which clogs the flow of chocolate.

HELPFUL TIPS
If chocolate begins to drip instead of flow down Tower, the chocolate is too thick.•
Thin the chocolate by adding vegetable oil. Also, make sure that the unit is level.
If the chocolate is flowing unevenly, the unit is not level. Make sure that•
the unit is on a level surface so that the chocolate is evenly distributed.
If the flow is intermittent, interrupted or not flowing properly,•
check to see if there are chunks of food in the Bowl of the
Base that may be clogging the chocolate flow.
Never add cool or cold liquid to the MINI STAINLESS STEEL CHOCOLATE•
FONDUE FOUNTAIN™ as this will stop the flow of the fountain.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
To prolong the life of your MINI STAINLESS STEEL CHOCOLATE FONDUE
FOUNTAIN™ be sure to follow cleaning instructions after every use. Never
use anything abrasive on the base to maintain the original finish.
Make sure unit is unplugged before cleaning. Allow parts to COOL
1.
to the touch. Tower, Auger, and Base can get VERY HOT!
Before first use and continuing after each use, be sure to wash the Tower and2.
Auger thoroughly. AVOID washing parts in the dishwasher.
To make cleaning of the MINI STAINLESS STEEL CHOCOLATE3.
FONDUE FOUNTAIN™ easier, carefully remove the Tower and
Auger (after cooling) and wipe off remaining chocolate with
paper towels. Wash in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry.
Carefully pour out as much remaining chocolate from the Bowl as
4.
possible. Use non-abrasive, damp sponge or cloth to wipe clean the
rest of the unit. Then, wipe with a non-abrasive towel to dry.
DO NOT POUR OUT EXCESS OR LEFTOVER CHOCOLATE DOWN
ANY DRAIN. POUR INTO A PLASTIC BAG OR DISPOSABLE
CONTAINER THEN PUT INTO THE GARBAGE.

RECIPES
For best results, chocolate should contain 60% cocoa. Any higher percentage
of cocoa will require the addition of vegetable oil to thin out the mixture.
DO NOT ADD ANY COLD LIQUIDS TO FOUNTAIN DURING OPERATION.
This will cause your mixture to thicken and not flow properly.
Enhance the flavor of your chocolate using liqueurs.
Try these delectable chocolate creations:
Orange Chocolate:
Orange Liqueur or Orange Concentrate
Chocolate Hazelnut:
Hazelnut Liqueur
Coffee Chocolate:
Amaretto
Mint Chocolate:
Crème de Menthe
Chocolate Macaroon:
Crème de Coconut
Chocolate Liqueur:
Any Brand of Chocolate Liqueur
To burn the alcohol off of the liqueur:
Prior to mixing the liqueur with the chocolate, measure ¼ cup of liqueur•
(more or less depending on taste) and pour into a small cooking pot.
Cook the liqueur on the stove top and bringing to a boil.•
Mix the liqueur with choice of chocolate before adding to The MINI•
