INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing The CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN. This chocolate fountain has a beautiful effect of flowing chocolate that will add mouth-watering fun to any occasion.
Your friends and family will enjoy the fun of the CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN. Please take care of your machine by following these simple instructions and precautions.
You can use a variety of foods, chocolates or sauces with your CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN to create the flavor you desire.
Depending on what you choose, you can use;
Milk Chocolate Dark Semi Sweet Chocolate White Chocolate Butterscotch
To dip strawberries, marshmallows, apple wedges, pretzels, cookies, ice cream balls, peanut butter balls, create mini Smores, – use your
imagination! Add liqueurs for sophisticated flavors.
You can also use CHEESE! Dip grapes, apples, breads, shrimp/seafood, crackers, and pretzels – use your imagination! In order to use cheese, you just need to prepare the cheese as you would for a regular fondue pot by diluting it with white wine and cream to keep it liquid, enabling it to flow through the tower. Powdered cheese works well also.
Bar-B-Q Sauces work too! Use your favorite sauce and have prepared chicken cubes, beef/steak cubes, pork cubes to dip – you choose! Keep in mind the consistency needs to be thin. Use wine, liquor or other liquids to dilute the sauce.
The CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN creates a beautiful effect for a different presentation to any occasion, such as:
Weddings Birthdays Graduation Parties Business Gatherings Holidays Casual get togethers with friends and family
And more…

INSTRUCTIONS
The CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN is easy to use. Just follow these simple instructions.
Your CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN requires little assembly. Wipe out base bowl with a damp cloth and dry. Wash Auger and
Tower in warm soapy water, rinse then dry. (See Diagram on Page 6 for parts). After cleaning, return auger to 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 auger or tower on base or
remove from base while motor is on. Make sure tower is fitted on the posts in the base properly.
Using your CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN
Using the correct chocolate
Your unit will work with any chocolate. However, the best chocolate to use is pure Belgian Chocolate (high in cocoa butter) that is formulated for chocolate fondue fountains. This chocolate requires no oil to function and is rich and decadent. You can purchase this type of chocolate online at any website that sells commercial chocolate fondue fountains.
Fortunately you do not need to go far to use your new fondue fountain. Simply go into your cupboard or local market and purchase chocolate chips used for baking in your baking aisle of the local store. These bags come in 10 ounce and 12 ounce sizes and in flavors such as;
Semi Sweet Chocolate Milk Chocolate White Chocolate Butterscotch Peanut Butter and more
Since these chips are low in cocoa butter, they need oil to make it flow correctly. The types of oil you can use are:
Canola oil Vegetable oil

INSTRUCTIONS - Cont’d.
Now that you have your selected chocolate, follow these instructions to begin:
1) Find a stable sur face near an electrical outlet before starting. Make sure the unit is level. It is important for the unit to be level to create the desired flowing effect.
2) After plugging in the unit, make sure your unit works by testing the motor function to see that the auger turns and that the heater works. Once this is done, turn both off.
3) Now that you are ready to begin, turn the heater knob to the ON position.
In the meantime, get a microwaveable bowl. Fill with 2 bags of your chips (24 ounces) and ¾ of a cup of oil (UNLESS YOU ARE USING BELGIAN CHOCOLATE). Place in the microwave for 3 minutes. Then stir until it is a rich smooth texture with no unmelted chips. If needed, microwave for 1 to 2 minutes more.
4) Pour melted chocolate into bowl at the base of the unit. Fill just under the rim. Then turn the motor to the ON position. Watch the chocolate get pulled up and then come down the fountain tiers.
5) Let the unit flow for 2 minutes. Then turn the motor OFF for 30 seconds, to eliminate any air gap possibly causing the chocolate not to flow well. Then turn the motor back ON. If the flow is not good, add 1/8 of a cup of oil to thin the chocolate slightly. Also, make sure your unit is level.
You should now have a nice flowing fountain.
NEVER ADD HARD CHIPS TO A FOUNTAIN WHILE THE MOTOR IS RUNNING. ONLY ADD MELTED, SMOOTH CHOCOLATE.
NEVER ADD COLD LIQUID TO CHOCOLATE, AS IT MAY CAUSE THE FLOW TO STOP. ONLY ADD WARMED FLUIDS.
ALWAYS CHECK TO MAKE SURE NO CHUNKS OF FOOD ARE IN THE BASE AS IT MAY CLOG THE FLOW OF CHOCOLATE. REMOVE WITH A SLOTTED SPOON.

FOR LIQUOR FLAVORED CHOCOLATE
Enhance your presentation with “Liquor Flavored Chocolates”. Prior to mixing the liquor with the chocolate, you can burn off the alcohol of the liquor, if you choose, by cooking it on the stove top. By bringing to a boil, the alcohol burns off, leaving only the flavor. Mix this with your choice of chocolate before adding to the CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN.
Desired Flavor
Use Orange Chocolate
Gran Marnier Chocolate Hazelnut
Frangelico Coffee Chocolate
Kahlua Mint Chocolate
Crème de Menthe Chocolate Macaroon
Coconut Mix Chocolate Liqueur
Godiva Liqueur
Using a measuring cup, add ¼ cup of liquor additive (more or less, depending on your taste). NOTE: For best result,s your chocolate needs to be 60% cocoa, any higher percentage will require you add more vegetable oil to thin the mixture. DO NOT ADD ANY COLD LIQUIDS TO FOUNTAIN DURING OPERATION. This will cause your mixture to thicken and not flow proper ly.
