This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. It may be plugged into an AC electrical outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use
any other electrical outlet.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR
STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension
cord is used,
1) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and
2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped
over unintentionally.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to t into
a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug and try again. If it still does not t, contact a
qualied electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS
1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
2. To insert plug, grasp it rmly and guide it into outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be
serviced and the line cord replaced.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undo stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and
cause it to fray and break.

IMPORTANT
During the rst few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/or a slight odor. This is normal and should quickly disappear. It will
not recur after appliance has been used a few more times.
For your safety, always read and understand the Use and Care Manual before attempting to use any electric appliance.
BEFORE USING:
Carefully unpack the chocolate fountain and all parts. Remove all packaging materials, including any stickers or labels. Wipe out the
Heated Bowl with a damp sponge and dry with a soft cloth. Wash the Auger and 3 Tiered Tower in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry.
NEVER IMMERSE THE HEATED BOWL OR CORD IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
TO ASSEMBLE: Position the chocolate fountain on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface. It is recommended to operate this appliance on
a separate outlet and circuit from other appliances to avoid overloading the circuit. Align the opening on the bottom of the Auger with the
Base Pin. Place the Tower over the Auger making sure it is tted on the posts in the Base. Place the Mickey Ears Topper on top of the
3 Tiered Tower to complete assembly.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Position the chocolate fountain on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface. It is very important that you choose a location that is level to
operate properly and to create the desired owing effect. Assemble according to instructions.
2. Turn the switch to the “Heat Only” setting and allow the chocolate fountain to preheat for 3-5 minutes before adding melted chocolate.
NOTE: the heater on the Heated Base is meant to maintain the consistency of melted chocolate. It is recommended to melt the
chocolate prior to pouring it into the Heated Bowl.
3. While the chocolate fountain is preheating, place 2 bags of chocolate chips (24 ounces) and ¾ cup of vegetable oil in a microwave
safe bowl. Melt in the microwave for about 2 ½ to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Chocolate must be completely melted and have
a thin consistency in order to ow properly. If needed, add additional oil to thin out the chocolate.
4. Once the chocolate is completely melted, turn the switch to the “Heat & Flow” setting so that the motor and heater are both running.
5. Carefully pour the melted chocolate into the Heated Bowl at the base of the Tower. The melted chocolate should ow up the Auger
inside the Tower and out the top of the Tower creating the cascading ow over each tier.
6. Use different foods like fruit, pretzels and pound cake to enjoy.

CLEANING AND STORAGE
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself.
1. Before cleaning, unplug from outlet and allow to cool.
2. Carefully remove the Auger and Tower. Remove remaining chocolate with paper towels and wash in warm, soapy water. Carefully
pour out as much remaining chocolate from the Bowl as possible into a garbage bag. NEVER POUR OUT EXCESS CHOCOLATE
DOWN THE DRAIN. Use a non-abrasive damp cloth or sponge to wipe out and let dry. NEVER IMMERSE THE HEATED BOWL
OR CORD IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID. Do not wash any parts in the dishwasher.
3. NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS TO CLEAN THE CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN, AS THOSE MAY
DAMAGE THE SURFACES.
To store, be sure all parts are clean and dry. Store appliance in its box or in a clean, dry place. Never store it while it is hot or wet. Never
wrap cord tightly around the appliance; keep it loosely coiled on the bottom of the chocolate fountain.
CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
• This appliance is NOT A TOY. This appliance is not intended for use by children or cognitively challenged individuals. Young children
should be supervised while product is in use to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
• The chocolate fountain must be level to operate properly and to create the desired owing effect.
• If chocolate beings to drip instead of ow, the chocolate is not thin enough. Add a little more oil to thin the chocolate.
• Take care to not drop pieces of food in the Bowl as it will “cease the auger” and stop the ow of chocolate. If the fountain starts to
work intermittently, check to see if food has become lodged in the Bowl.
• Never add cold or cool liquid to the chocolate fountain as it will “cease the auger” and stop the ow of chocolate.
• Do not place ngers directly into the owing chocolate.
• Do not add cold liquids to the chocolate as this will ruin the chocolate consistency.
• Dip various fruits, pretzels, crackers, bread, cookies or any other snack you may enjoy.
• Your chocolate fountain can be used for all kinds of occasions such as Weddings, Birthdays, Holidays or just for fun!
