THE LEGEND OF SEPHRA
Woven among the threads of ancient Aztec
legend lies the story of Sephra, an enchanting
goddess whose beauty could be described
only as the richness of the dark earth
combined with the lustre and glow of pure
gold. Her voice was softer than the most
delicate ower, and her presence carried the
aroma of sweet cocoa. It was Sephra who
gave the ancient Aztecs the precious gift of
the cocoa tree.
The legend reveals that the spirit of Sephra
nourished the cocoa trees and lived within
the priceless beans they produced. The Aztec
kings named the cocoa tree “Theobroma
Cacao,” meaning “food of the gods.” So
valuable were cocoa beans that they were
used to pay tribute to royalty and were given
as sacred oerings to the gods.
Montezuma, the ruler of the wealthy Aztec
Empire, was so enchanted by Sephra that
he commissioned an elite force of skilled
artisans and master craftsmen to construct a
temple in her honour. As a special oering to
the goddess, Montezuma built a magnicent
fountain in the highest room of the temple
and lled it with glistening spring water,
which owed from beneath its walls. He then
surrounded the fountain with a splendid array
of the most perfect cocoa beans, in hopes
that Sephra would continue to bless the
people with the unique and valuable crop.
So pleased was Sephra with Montezuma’s
gift that she came to him in a dream and told
him that her spirit would always live in the
fountain he had given her. Moments later,
Montezuma awoke to the sweet smell of
cocoa lingering in the air. The aroma led
him to the upper room of the temple where
Sephra’s fountain stood.
To his astonishment, the fountain no longer
owed with water, but with the richest, purest
chocolate... this was truly a gift from the gods.
For centuries, Sephra’s fountain remained
hidden beneath the ruins of the ancient Aztec
temple, waiting to be discovered. At long last
it was, and with it was unveiled the secret of
the pure, rich chocolate once coveted by gods
and kings . . .

DEAR SEPHRA CUSTOMER
Thank you for choosing a Sephra Chocolate
Fountain for your business. Our fountains
have been engineered to a high standard of
quality and will provide many years of trouble-
free service. Please read through this manual,
which will walk you through the proper setup,
operation and clean-up of your Fountain.
If you have any questions after reviewing
these instructions, please call our Customer
Service Department and a trained
representative will be more than happy to
assist you.
We encourage you to use Sephra Fondue
Chocolate and Chocolate Compound,
available in Dark, Milk, and White varieties.
This specialty fondue chocolate is formulated
to ow perfectly through the fountain
every time without the mess and hassle of
mixing in oil that is required with most other
chocolate. Adding oil not only dilutes the taste
of chocolate, but it also makes it runny and
diminishes its aroma.
With Sephra Fondue Chocolate, simply melt
the chocolate chips and it is ready to use!
REMEMBER, YOUR CUSTOMERS WILL TASTE THE DIFFERENCE IF YOU SERVE ONLY THE
FINEST FONDUE CHOCOLATE.
You can order Sephra Fondue Chocolate by calling us on [phone] or by visiting
our website at www.sephraeurope.com
Our mission is to help you make your Sephra appliance a very protable aspect of your
business and we look forward to assisting you.
Thankyou for choosing Sephra!
The Sephra team
