HOW TO

Preparing your Chocolate Fountain

Wash all parts according to the CLEANING YOUR CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN section in this manual.

Assembly

1 Insert the BOWL into the BASE and turn clockwise to lock into place. 2 Insert the AUGER into the BOWL. 3 Cover the AUGER with the TOWER. 4 Rotate the TOWER until it snaps twice and locks into position in the BOWL.

5 Slide the GUARD down to the bottom of the TOWER. 6 Slide the LARGE CANOPY then the SMALL CANOPY down the TOWER. 7 Place the CAP onto the top of the TOWER and align the tab on the CAP with the

groove in the top of the TOWER.

8 The DRIP TRAY comes in two sections, assemble the DRIP TRAY by inserting the

tabs into the opposite opening and snap the two halves together. Slide the DRIP TRAY over the TOWER and CANOPIES and rest it on the edge of the BOWL. NOTE: Notches in DRIP TRAY should be facing upwards so skewers can rest easily.

NOTE: All parts must be securely in place for the Chocolate Fountain to properly operate. If the unit does not sit level, rotate the adjustable foot on the bottom of the BASE until the unit is stable.

Operating Your Chocolate Fountain

Operation with a Warm Mixture

Prepare the melted chocolate according to the instructions below:

1 Preheat the Oster® Chocolate Fountain for 3-5 minutes by plugging the cord into

a standard outlet and turning the CONTROL KNOB to the HEATER setting.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT turn the CONTROL KNOB to HEATER/MOTOR until the melted chocolate has been added to the BOWL. Operating the Chocolate Fountain dry may cause damage to the unit.

2 Add the melted chocolate to the BOWL and turn the CONTROL KNOB to HEATER/MOTOR.

Chocolate will start owing up through the TOWER and over the canopies to create a waterfall.

NOTE: The Chocolate Fountain must be on a level surface to ow properly.

Operation with a Cool Mixture

1 Prepare the dressing or dip. 2 Add your mixture to the bowl and turn the control dial to MOTOR. Your mixture will

start owing up through the TOWER and over the canopies to create a waterfall.

NOTE: The Chocolate Fountain must be on a level surface to ow properly.

Preparing Your Chocolate

The Chocolate Fountain is very simple to use and will provide hours of entertainment turning any occasion into an event!

You MUST mix oil (vegetable or canola) with the chocolate. The oil allows the chocolate to reach the smooth consistency for an even ow through the Chocolate Fountain. Please follow the table below for chocolate-to-oil ratios.

For additional information see the CHOCOLATE HINTS AND TIPS section. Note: The Chocolate Fountain will not run properly without the addition of the oil. The chocolate can be melted with a double boiler or in the microwave. To melt the

chocolate in a double boiler, add 2 inches of water to the lower pan. Heat the lower pan on the medium heat setting of your range to simmer. You want the water to simmer, not boil. Place the upper pan of the double boiler over the lower pan and add the chocolate and the vegetable oil. As the chocolate begins to melt, stir the chocolate mixture frequently to avoid overheating and burning. The chocolate should avoid direct contact with the steam and the water as the moisture will cause the chocolate to become unusable.

To melt the chocolate in the microwave, place the chocolate and oil in a microwave safe bowl. Heat the mixture on a medium setting. Heating time will vary. Stir mixture frequently (every 15-30 seconds) as chocolate melts to avoid overheating and burning. The approximate melting time is 2 minutes for 8 oz. (1 cup) of chocolate.

NOTE: Chocolate should be melted completely, and of a smooth consistency with no lumps before adding to the Chocolate Fountain.

Chocolate Hints & Tips

No special chocolate is required; any brand of morsels or chips will work well. This includes semi-sweet, milk, white, or dark chocolate. If you use chunk chocolate, be sure to chop it coarsely before melting to ensure even heat distribution.

• Chocolate should have a smooth, even, and glossy unblemished appearance. The surface

should not be dull or have grayish-white streaks (bloom). Bloom occurs when the cocoa butter has separated causing it to rise to the surface of the chocolate. Bloom occurs when the chocolate is stored in too humid or too warm a temperature-the chocolate can still be used.

• Chocolate is very temperamental; carefully follow instructions for melting to avoid

burning or overheating.

• Seizing occurs when the chocolate you are melting suddenly becomes grainy and rms

up; it looks like a dull thick paste. If the chocolate seizes, you may still be able to rescue the chocolate by mixing in a small amount of vegetable oil.

• Never add cool or cold liquid, because this will cause the chocolate to seize.

• Do not add liquor to the chocolate, this will cause it to seize. For best results, use avored

oil that is specically made for avoring chocolate.

• Chocolate should be wrapped tightly and stored in a cool dry place. Storing chocolate

in the refrigerator could cause condensation to form on the chocolate and, in turn, the chocolate will seize when melted.

CARE & CLEANING

Cleaning Your Chocolate Fountain

The Oster® Chocolate Fountain is easy to disassemble and clean. Do not immerse base in liquids.

1 Turn the CONTROL KNOB to OFF and unplug the power cord from the outlet and allow

to cool. Remove the DRIP TRAY.

2 Twist the BOWL from the BASE. 3 Remove the TOWER from the BOWL. Slide the CAP, CANOPIES and GUARD o the

TOWER. NOTE: You may want to use a paper towel to grip the TOWER while twisting o, as the chocolate mixture will make it dicult to grasp.

4 Pull the AUGER out of the BOWL. 5 Dispose of excess chocolate from the BOWL. 6 Rinse all parts to remove excess chocolate, dip, or dressing. 7 To clean the DRIP TRAY, BOWL, AUGER, TOWER, CANOPIES, GUARD, CAP and SKEWERS,

wash with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. IMPORTANT: The BOWL should be towel dried; if left to “air dry”, water spots may appear.

8 The BASE should not be exposed to water-electrical shock may occur. To clean the BASE,

wipe with a damp cloth.

NOTE: Do not store excess chocolate in BOWL. Clean entire unit after each use.
