INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing The COMMERCIAL FONDUE FOUNTAIN. This chocolate fountain
creates a cascade of sweetness that will add mouth-watering fun to any occasion.

Everyone will enjoy snacks, appetizers and desserts with the COMMERCIAL FONDUE
FOUNTAIN. Please take care of your machine by following these simple instructions.

ENGLISH

You can use a variety of chocolates and sauces with your COMMERCIAL
FONDUE FOUNTAIN to create the avor you desire. Try the following:

• Milk Chocolate

• Dark Semi-Sweet Chocolate

• White Chocolate

• Butterscotch

Dip strawberries, marshmallows, apple wedges, pretzels, cookies, ice cream balls,
peanut butter balls – use your imagination! Add liqueurs for sophisticated avors.

You can also melt cheese to create a cheese fondue fountain. Dip grapes, apples, breads,
shrimp, crackers, and pretzels and more! 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 or cream to
keep it liquid, enabling it to ow through the tower. Powdered cheese may be used as well.

Barbecue sauces may also be used. Try your favorite barbecue sauce and dip cooked
chicken cubes, beef/steak cubes, pork cubes or shrimp. Keep in mind the consistency
of the sauce needs to be thin. Use wine, liquor or other liquids to thin the sauce.

The COMMERCIAL FONDUE FOUNTAIN is a beautiful addition to any
dining table and is an impressive display at events such as:

• Weddings

• Birthdays

• Graduation Parties

• Business Meetings

• Holidays...and more!

PARTS & ASSEMBLY

Your COMMERCIAL FONDUE FOUNTAIN requires little assembly. Prior to use, wipe out Bowl
with a damp cloth and dry. Wash Auger and Tower in warm, soapy water, rinse, then dry.

After cleaning, assemble fountain by following these steps:

Tower

Base

Bowl

Auger

• Attach Bowl to top of Base by aligning the notches in the bottom of
the Bowl to the notches on top of Base and securing in place.

• Make sure Auger is securely in place by aligning the opening on the bottom
of the Auger with the Base Pin.

• Attach Tower to Bowl by aligning the holes in the
bottom of the Tower with the pins in the Bowl.

• Place Tower Bowl on top of Tower.

ENGLISH

DO NOT attempt to place Auger or Tower on Base or remove from Base while the
motor is running. Make sure the Tower is tted on the posts in the Base properly.

HOW TO OPERATE

• First, nd a stable surface near an electrical outlet before starting. Unit must be level
to operate properly and to create the desired owing eect. Make sure your cord is
away from any water source. If needed, it is acceptable to use an extension cord.

• Press button to turn the heater on. Let the unit warm up for at

ENGLISH

least 3 to 5 minutes before adding melted chocolate.

• While the machine is warming up, get a microwaveable bowl. Fill bowl
with 7 cups of chocolate chips (about 9½ 12-ounce bags) and 1¾ cups of
oil. If you are using Belgian Chocolate, you do not need to add oil.

• Place in microwave for 5 to 6 minutes on high heat. When done, stir chocolate.
If necessary, continue to warm chocolate in microwave until melting is
complete and chocolate is smooth (another 1 to 2 minutes).

• Never add cool or cold liquids to the melted chocolate
in the fountain, as this will stop the ow.

• Chocolate needs to be completely melted and of thin consistency to allow
proper ow. Use a large spoon to test the consistency of the chocolate. If the
chocolate drips too thickly from the spoon, add more oil to the mixture.

• Once the chocolate is completely melted and of proper consistency,
press the motor button on the COMMERCIAL FONDUE FOUNTAIN, so
that the motor and the heater are running at the same time.

• Carefully pour the melted chocolate into the Bowl at the base of the
Tower. The melted chocolate should be drawn under the Tower and
carried up the Tower by the Auger. Chocolate should then begin to ow
from the top of the Tower and cascade evenly down each tier.

• The COMMERCIAL FONDUE FOUNTAIN must be level to ensure
proper sheeting of the chocolate. Be careful not to drop pieces of
food into the Bowl, which clogs the ow of chocolate.
