SWITCH POSITIONS

HOW TO OPERATE
• First, nd a stable surface near an electrical outlet before starting. Unit must be level
to operate properly and to create the desired owing eect. 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 4-TIER 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 pounds
of chocolate chips (32 ounces) and ¾ of a cup of oil. You may need to add more oil to
ensure proper ow. 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).
DO NOT heat chocolate over 110oF as warping of the towers may occur.
• Never add cool or cold liquids to the melted chocolate
in the fountain as this will stop the ow.
• Chocolate needs to be completely melted and of thin consistency to allow
proper ow. 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
motor switch on the 4-TIER STAINLESS STEEL CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN to
the ON position, so 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 ow
from the top of the Tower and cascade evenly down each tier.
• The 4-TIER 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 ow of chocolate.

HELPFUL TIPS
• If chocolate begins to drip instead of ow down the 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 owing 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 ow is intermittent, interrupted or not owing properly, check to see if there are
chunks of food in the Bowl of the Base that may be clogging the chocolate ow.
• Never add cool or cold liquid to the 4-TIER STAINLESS STEEL CHOCOLATE
FONDUE FOUNTAIN as this will stop the ow of the fountain.
• DO NOT heat chocolate over 110oF as warping of the towers may occur.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
To prolong the life of your 4-TIER 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 nish.
1. Make sure unit is unplugged before cleaning. Allow parts to COOL
to the touch. Tower, Auger, and Base can get VERY HOT!
2. Before rst use and continuing after each use, be sure to wash the Tower
and Auger thoroughly. AVOID washing parts in the dishwasher.
3. To make cleaning of the 4-TIER STAINLESS STEEL CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN
easier, carefully remove the Tower and Auger (after cooling) and wipe o remaining
chocolate with paper towels. Wash in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry.
4. Carefully pour out as much remaining chocolate from the Bowl as
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 ow properly.
Enhance the avor of your chocolate using liqueurs.
Try these delectable chocolate creations:
Orange Chocolate:
Orange Liqueur or Orange Concentrate
Chocolate Hazelnut:
Hazelnut Liqueur
Coee Chocolate:
Amaretto
Mint Chocolate:
Crème de Menthe
Chocolate Macaroon:
Crème de Coconut
Chocolate Liqueur:
Any Brand of Chocolate Liqueur
To burn the alcohol o 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 4-TIER
STAINLESS STEEL CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN.
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, just 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 ow 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. Just keep in mind the consistency of
the sauce needs to be thin! Use wine, liquor or other liquids to thin the sauce.
