minutes.
5. While the unit is preheating, melt chocolate either in microwave or in a
double boiler on the stove.
NOTE: Use as little as 500g (1 lb.) and up to a maximum of 700g (1.5
lbs.) of white, milk or dark chocolate.
6. Once the chocolate is melted add approximately 1/4 cup of vegetable
oil and stir thoroughly to combine. The oil will allow the chocolate to
 becometheproperconsistencytoowovertheTiersandcreatethe
“fountain” effect.
NOTE: Depending on the type of chocolate you are using you may
need more or less oil to thin out the chocolate.
To test the consistency of the chocolate, dip a large spoon into the
chocolate and allow it to run off the spoon. If it drips thickly from the
 spoonaddmoreoil.Thenalconsistencyofthechocolateshouldrun

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming
entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used
if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If
the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounded 3-wire cord. The extension cord should be arranged so that
it will not drape over the counter top or table top, where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over.
