ASSEMBLING THE BEVERAGE FOUNTAIN

Create a beautiful centerpiece that is sure to capture the attention of every guest at your next get-together.

The Rival™Beverage Fountain is easy to assemble and holds up to 2

/2 gallons of your favorite party beverage during operation. Simply add the prepared beverage directly into the bowl and watch as the liquid flows up the tower and then cascades down through each of the three tiers, creating a centerpiece ready for your guests to enjoy!

The white light enhances the stunning ambience created by your Rival

™

Beverage Fountain. You may also add ice to the bowl and garnish your punch with frozen or

fresh fruit such as orange or lemon slices, strawberries, or raspberries. The Rival™Beverage Fountain is also the perfect party companion to the

Rival™ Chocolate Fountain.

• Once you complete step 3 and the unit is running, you may add up to 1 additional gallon of liquid to the BOWL (capacity of unit during operation is up to 21/2 gallons).

3. Plug the power transformer into an electrical outlet and plug the connector into the BASE.

• The liquid will start flowing up through the OUTER TUBE and

then down through the spouts located in each TIER to create a beautiful flowing fountain (at this point you may add up to 1 additional gallon of liquid).

• During operation, a white light will shine through the INNER

TUBE, adding to the ambience of your event!

4. If you would like to refill the Rival™Beverage Fountain during the course of your party , you may do so by adding more liquid to the BOWL.

5. IMPORTANT: Before shutting off the fountain, observe the liquid level in the BOWL.

• If the BOWL is more than half full while the unit is running,

remove liquid until the BOWL is less than half full.

• Use a cup to transfer the excess liquid to a pitcher—this will

prevent overflow.

• After shutting off the fountain, if it appears that the fountain is

about to overflow, quickly plug it back in and remove more liquid.

Before cleaning, unplug the power transformer from the wall and remove the connector from the BASE.

Before initial use and after each subsequent use, wash the BOWL, INNER TUBE, OUTER TUBE, and all three TIERS, either in the dishwasher or with warm soapy water.

Do not use abrasive cleaners. You may clean the the exterior of the BASE with a soft, damp cloth and

wipe dry.

CAUTION: Never immerse the BASE in water or other liquid.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The Rival™Beverage Fountain is designed to create a beautiful waterfall of your favorite party beverage.

NOTE: • Rival™Beverage Fountain must be on a level surface to flow

properly.

•You may want to place a washable tablecloth under and around the immediate area of the fountain, to protect against light misting, splashing or accidental spills (especially if adding food coloring to the punch).

1. Prepare your beverage according to one of the included recipes or using your own favorite recipe.

• Beverage mixture should not include more than 50% carbonated liquid, as this will adversely affect the operation of the Beverage Fountain.

2. Add up to 11/2 gallons of the prepared beverage to the BOWL.

• The BOWL holds up to 11/2 gallons when filled to maximum capacity.

3. Place the OUTER TUBE over the INNER TUBE, and rotate CLOCKWISE until it locks firmly into place.

4. Slide the LARGE and MEDIUM tiers over the OUTER TUBE. Then slide the FLOW COLLAR and SMALL tier over the OUTER TUBE.
