Before Using the Appliance for the First Time

• Before using the appliance for the ﬁrst time, carefully unpack the Chocolate Fountain and remove all the packaging material. Wipe the body of the Chocolate Fountain with a soft dry or damp sponge or cloth. Wash the Auger and the Tower sections in warm soapy water, rinse then dry.

• After cleaning, allow all parts to dry completely before assembly. For detailed instructions about assembling your Chocolate Fountain, please refer to page 6.

• Return the Auger to the base making sure it is securely in place by aligning the groove on the bottom of the Auger to the motor base pin. Make sure it is secured and locked into position. Do not attempt to place the Auger or the Tower on the Base or remove from the Base while the motor is on. Make sure the Tower is ﬁtted on the posts on the base properly.

Assembly of the Fountain

1. Place the base on a ﬁrm, level surface.

2. Put the Auger onto the Motor Base Pin. The triangular slot will ﬁt tightly over the Motor Base Pin.

3. Place the assembled Tower over the Auger and ﬁt onto the Guiding Pins.

3. Always ensure your Chocolate Fountain is perfectly level. This is very important as the Fountain must be level to ensure the chocolate ﬂow is even and ﬂowing consistently. It may be helpful to use a spirit level for this purpose.

Page 7

Using your Chocolate Fountain

• The Chocolate Fountain must be level to operate properly, so ensure it is placed on a stable ﬂat surface and make sure the power cord is away from any water source.

• Ensure the Chocolate Fountain is fully assembled. Plug into a standard domestic power outlet and switch the power outlet on.

• Turn the switch to the ﬁrst position “Heat”. Allow the unit to warm up for at least 3-5 minutes before adding the melted chocolate. For tips on melting the chocolate please refer to the instructions on page 8.

• The chocolate needs to be completely melted and of a thin consistency to allow proper ﬂow. Add more oil if the chocolate is too thick. Use a large spoon to test the consistency of the chocolate. Dip the spoon in the melted chocolate and then pour from the spoon. Chocolate should ﬂow freely, in one continuous line. It should not drip slowly from the spoon.

• Carefully pour the melted chocolate into the bowl at the base of the tower. Fill the bowl with melted chocolate until the chocolate just covers the top of the guiding pins.

• Turn the switch to the “ Heat/Flow” position. You will hear the Auger turning and the 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 ﬁlter over the sides evenly to the next tier and so on.

Note: It may take 2-3 minutes for the air bubbles to settle and for chocolate to ﬂow perfectly smoothly.

Tips for Melting Chocolate

• The easiest way to melt chocolate is by using a microwave.

• Place the chopped chocolate, or chocolate chips into a microwave - safe bowl.

• Turn the microwave on for approximately 2 - 2 1/2 minutes, depending on the wattage of your microwave. Stir the chocolate well to remove all lumps of unmelted chocolate. Microwave for 10-30 seconds longer, if necessary. Check frequently as chocolate can burn easily.

• Stir in 3/4 - 1 cup of vegetable oil. Mix well to ensure the mixture is smooth. Check the consistency to ensure it is thin, add more oil if necessary.

• Other liquids may be added at this time, before adding to the Chocolate Fountain. Try adding your favourite liqueur, for a sophisticated adult touch.

• Many foods are suitable for dipping in the chocolate. Try fruit, marshmallows, biscuits, waffers, ice-cream balls, fudge and nougat. Just use your imagination!

Note: DO NOT ADD ANY COLD LIQUIDS

TO THE FOUNTAIN DURING OPERATION. This will cause your mixture to thicken and not ﬂow properly.

For Liqueur Flavored Chocolate

• You can enhance your chocolate sauce with liqueur. Many ﬂavours are suitable. Add the liqueur to the melted chocolate mixture, before pouring into the Chocolate Fountain. If desired, burn off the alcohol content by boiling the liqueur for 1-2 minutes before adding.

Note: The type of chocolate used will determine how smoothly the chocolate ﬂows over the tiers of the Chocolate Fountain. Good quality chocolate will give better results as it has a higher percentage of cocoa butter. The quality of the chocolate also inﬂuences the taste.

For the best possible results, you can use chocolate with a high cocoa butter content (known as couverture chocolate). This chocolate is available in chips or blocks from specialist catering outlets and gourmet delicatessens. Couverture chocolate melts down to a very thin, runny consistency so it is perfect for use in the Chocolate Fountain and does not require the addition of any oil.

Regular milk and dark chocolate also work very well and taste delicious. Choose premium cooking chocolate. As this chocolate melts to a thicker consistency than couverture chocolate, you will need to thin it with vegetable oil. Use about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of oil per 500 grams of chocolate. The oil is ﬂavourless so does not inﬂuence the taste of the chocolate. Adding oil will make the chocolate glossy and smooth.

Compound chocolate is usually sold as chocolate buttons and is often used for baking, as it holds its shape when warm. As compound chocolate is quite thick when melted it is not ideal for use in the Chocolate Fountain. It is possible to use compound chocolate in the Chocolate Fountain, but it does not taste as good, and it will require the addition of more oil than premium cooking chocolate.

White chocolate is actually not true chocolate, but a type of compound chocolate. It is quite difﬁcult to melt successfully, so it is harder to use in the Chocolate Fountain, and will require the addition of more oil in order to ﬂow smoothly.

Problem Possible Cause/Remedy

Chocolate is dripping, not ﬂowing

Chocolate is too thick, thin with vegetable oil. Unit is not LEVEL. Level the unit.

Chocolate is ﬂowing unevenly, not in smooth sheets

Unit is not LEVEL, level the unit so that the chocolate is evenly distributed around the tower to ensure proper sheeting.

Flow is intermittent, interrupted, not ﬂowing properly

Check for chunks of food in the base that may be clogging the chocolate ﬂow to the base of the tower, remove any chunks found.

Trouble Shooting

NOTE: To prolong the life of your Chocolate Fountain, be sure to follow the cleaning instructions after every use and make sure the tower is ﬂushed while washing the unit to prevent chocolate build up. Never use anything abrasive on the base , as abrasive cleaners may damage the ﬁnish.

DO NOT ADD COOL OR COLD LIQUID – THIS WILL STOP THE FLOW OF THE FOUNTAIN

Cleaning

Before cleaning, switch off the appliance, unplug at the power outlet and allow to cool. NEVER IMMERSE THE BASE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.

• Make sure the unit is unplugged before cleaning. The Tower, Auger and base can be Hot. Allow parts to COOL before touching.

• Before using the appliance for the ﬁrst time and after every use, ensure the Tower and Auger are washed thoroughly.

DO NOT WASH ANY PARTS OF THIS APPLIANCE IN THE DISHWASHER.

• To make cleaning of the Chocolate Fountain easier, carefully remove the Tower and Auger (after cooling), wipe off any remaining chocolate with paper towels. Soak in hot water for 5 minutes, then wash in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry.

Note: DO NOT POUR EXCESS OR LEFTOVER CHOCOLATE DOWN THE SINK. POUR INTO A PLASTIC BAG OR DISPOSABLE CONTAINER THEN DISPOSE INTO THE RUBBISH.

• Carefully pour out as much remaining chocolate from the base bowl as possible. Use a damp sponge or cloth to wipe clean the remainder and to clean the outside of the unit. Wipe with a non-abrasive towel to dry.
