Using your CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN
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.
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.
You can 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 or cream to keep it
liquid, enabling it to flow through the tower - though powdered
cheese can work well too.
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;
Bar-B-Q Sauces work well too! Use your favorite Sauce and have
prepared chicken cubes, beef/steak cubes, pork cubes to dip – you
choose! Keep in mind the consistency need to be thin. Use wine,
liquor or other liquids to dilute the sauce.
*Semi Sweet Chocolate
*Milk Chocolate
*White Chocolate

Casual get togethers with friends and family
Canola oil
Vegetable oil
And more…

to begin:
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE/REMEDY

1) Find a stable surface near an electrical outlet before starting.
Then 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.

Sheeting
chocolate is evenly distributed around the
tower to ensure proper sheeting.
Flow is intermittent, interrupted, not Check for chunks of food in base that
flowing properly
may be clogging the chocolate flow to
base of tower, remove any chunks found.
DO NOT ADD COOL OR COLD LIQUID – THIS WILL STOP THE
FLOW OF THE FOUNTAIN.
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
need, microwave for 1 to 2 minutes more.
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.
4) Pour melted chocolate into bowl at the base of the unit. Fill
just before 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, then check to make sure the unit is
level.
NOTE:
To prolong the life of your CHOCOLATE FONDUE
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.
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.

CLEANING
1. Make sure unit is unplugged before cleaning. Remove auger
and tower and soak.

the tower, and auger thoroughly. Tower and auger are best to
soak but are dishwasher safe as well.

easier, carefully remove the tower and auger (after cooling),
wipe off remaining chocolate with paper towels. Soak in hot,
soapy water for 5 minutes. Wash, rinse and dry.
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,
bring 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.
DO NOT POUR OUT EXCESS OR LEFTOVER CHOCOLATE
DOWN DRAIN OR IN TOILET. POUR IN PLASTIC BAG OR
DISPOSABLE CONTAINER THEN INTO THE GARBAGE.
4. Carefully pour out as much remaining chocolate from the base
bowl as possible. Use damp sponge or clothe to wipe clean the
remainder and to clean the outside of the unit, wipe with a non-
abrasive towel to dry. NOTE: DO NOT IMMERSE BASE IN
WATER, THIS HOLDS ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL
COMPONENTS.
