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.

for a different presentation to any occasion, such as:
Weddings
Birthdays
Graduation Parties
Business Gatherings
Holidays
Casual get togethers with friends and family

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.

By following these simple instructions, your CHOCOLATE FONDUE
FOUNTAIN will be fun for friends, family, and kids of all ages by
creating a beautiful effect of mouth-watering chocolate for dipping
everyone’s favorite snacks.
NOTE: To prolong the life of your CHOCOLATE FON DUE
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 to
maintain the original finish.

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.
