POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into the
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not properly fit into
the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a competent
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

• The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least that
of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension cord is
too low, it could overheat and burn.

• The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over.

This fountain can be used with a variety of chocolates or sauces.
Depending on your taste, you can use milk chocolate, dark
chocolate, white chocolate, butterscotch to dip fruit pieces,
marshmallows, cookies etc.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

• Remove all packaging material and wipe out the base bowl with
a damp cloth and dry. Make sure no water penetrates in the
motor unit.

• Clean the auger and the tower with soapy water, rinse and dry
thoroughly.

ASSEMBLY

Make sure all switches are in OFF position and that the appliance is
unplugged before assembling.

Never attempt to place the auger or the tower on the base while the
motor is running.

To assemble the appliance, put the auger on the axle in the center
of the bowl, and pass the tower over the auger, making sure that the
three openings on the bottom of the tower fit in the three pins in the
center of the bowl.

To work properly, the surface must be level. If it is not totally level, you
can adjust the position of the appliance by turning the height
adjusting screw in the adequate direction.

HOW TO USE

• Once the appliance is correctly assembled, plug it into a wall
socket.

• To start, turn the right switch (4) to activate the heater. The pilot
light goes on, indicating that the appliance is heating.

• Let the unit warm up for at least 3 to 5 minutes before adding the
melted chocolate.

• In the meantime, prepare the chocolate as follows:

Combine 1.7lbs of chocolate chips with 1 cup of cooking oil in a
microwave safe bowl. Place bowl in microwave, and heat for 2

minutes. Remove and stir chocolate, if chocolate is not completely
melted after stirring, cook for an additional 2 minutes or until
chocolate is completely melted.
The chocolate needs to be completely melted and must be of a thin
consistency before pouring into the fountain. This will allow proper
flow of the chocolate. To check the consistency of the chocolate,
dip a large spoon into the chocolate. The chocolate should flow
smoothly off the back of the spoon. If the chocolate too thick, add
more oil.
CAUTION: chocolate burns very easily; keep an eye on the
chocolate when melting.
Never add cold or cool liquids to the melted chocolate in the
fountain. This will disrupt and stop the flow of chocolate.

• Once the chocolate is completely melted and is of the proper
consistency, pour it into the bowl located at the base of the
tower.

• Then turn the motor switch to the ON position. The motor and the
heater should now be running at the same time.

• The melted chocolate will be drawn under the tower and pulled
up by the auger through the tower tier. The chocolate will then
begin to flow to the top of the tower tier and flow evenly over the
sides of each tier.

• You can now immerge fruit pieces, marshmallows or cookies in
the chocolate flow to coat them with melted chocolate.

• IMPORTANT: The unit must be level in order for the chocolate to
flow evenly and properly. Check the fountain consistently so as to
avoid food pieces falling into the chocolate. Food pieces will
stop the flow of chocolate.

• To extend the life of the unit be sure to properly follow all
cleaning instructions after every use. Make sure the chocolate is
flushed from the tower tier while washing the fountain to avoid
chocolate build up. Do not apply cleansing abrasives to the
fountain or use an abrasive cloth, sponge, scouring pad, or the
like on the fountain.
