FEATURES
Your Total Chef “Chocolate Fountain” is a mechanical fountain specially designed to provide hours of fondue entertainment and enjoyment. Warmed sauce flows elegantly, providing a waterfall effect for family and friends to dip any food of choice for a special fondue.
Your “Chocolate Fountain” will run most smoothly with a high quality chocolate that contains at least 30% cocoa butter, which will allow the chocolate to have a creamy texture and flow smoothly through the fountain.
The assortment of foods you can use with your new “Chocolate Fountain” is only limited by your taste and imagination. Try using fruits, cheeses, pretzels, cookies, cake, hard candy, etc. However, we recommend that you always use only solid food pieces, as foods that can crumble could fall into the bowl basin during dipping and impede the smooth flow of the sauce through the appliance.
Electrical Specifications: 120V / 60Hz / 170 W

SAFETY TIPS
Read all instructions before operating this appliance.
When using any electrical appliance, including your new “Chocolate Fountain”,
there are basic safety precautions that should always be followed.
A. NEVER leave the “Chocolate Fountain” unattended while in use. Adult
supervision is always recommended when any appliance is used by, near or
around children.
B. NEVER immerse the “Chocolate Fountain” in water, or put in use where
it might come in contact with water.
C. DO NOT operate any appliance near hot surfaces, where it or its cord
could come in contact with the hot surface.
D. If either the “Chocolate Fountain” cord or plug become damaged, or the
appliance malfunctions, DO NOT operate the unit.
E. Like all appliances NEVER place the “Chocolate Fountain” base that
houses the motor in a dishwasher, or submerge it in water to clean.
F. When cleaning ALWAYS UNPLUG the unit. NEVER use an abrasive sponge,
cloth, or scouring pad on the product, as it may damage the finish.
G. NEVER place anything in the “Chocolate Fountain” other than the
intended ingredients.
H. We do not recommend the use of any accessory attachments other than
what is supplied with the “Chocolate Fountain”, or offered by Koolatron as
additional accessories for this product.
I. The “Chocolate Fountain” is intended for indoor use only.
J. ALWAYS keep hands and foreign objects out of the “Chocolate Fountain”
while in operation; check chocolate flow regularly and remove large pieces of
fruit or other ingredients from the bowl basin that are impeding the chocolate
flow.
K. For proper operation, always make sure your “Chocolate Fountain” is
level on a flat surface.
SET-UP
Setting Up
Your new “Chocolate Fountain” requires very little assembly.
- Remove from box.
- Clean base bowl with a damp cloth and dry.
- Wash Auger and Detached Tower Part in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry.
- Once cleaned and dried, return the auger to the base. Fit the tower on the posts in the base securely.
- Place your assembled “Chocolate Fountain” on a level surface. Adjust feet on bottom to level by rotating clockwise or counter-clockwise as necessary.
- Now you’re ready to plug in your new “Chocolate Fountain”.
Switch Positions: Left – Motor; Right – Heater
Starting your “Chocolate Fountain: Turn the dial on the right (Heater) to
start the heater, and allow the unit to warm up for at least 3 – 5 minutes
before adding melted chocolate. A light above will illuminate to let you know
the heater is on. While the fountain is warming up, you can melt your
chocolate of choice in a double boiler or microwave oven – always take care
not to burn the chocolate! You can also melt the chocolate directly in the
“Chocolate Fountain” bowl basin, but this will take longer and require
frequent stirring to prevent burning. Once the chocolate is completely melted,
turn the dial on the left to the ON position, so the motor and the heater are
running at the same time.
How to Prepare Chocolate for the Fountain
- We suggest using chocolate that contains cocoa butter (min. 30%) to achieve a creamy, flowing texture for your chocolate. Chocolate must be completely melted and of thin consistency to assure proper flow. You can add cooking oil as the chocolate melts to reach the desired consistency.
- Carefully pour the melted chocolate into the bowl basin, and watch asit is drawn up the tower by the auger and begins to flow evenly down the tiered towers. Continue to add melted chocolate until your “Chocolate Fountain” flow is solid and consistent, and full to your desired amount in the basin.
- If more chocolate is needed than you have prepared, do not add cool or cold liquids to the fountain as this could impede the flow. Simply leave your “Chocolate Fountain” running and prepare more melted chocolate as described above.
- Remember your “Chocolate Fountain” must be level for the full flowing fountain effect, so if the desired flow is not achieved carefully adjust the feet on the bottom by turning clockwise or counterclockwise as necessary.
CLEANING
- Always clean the “Chocolate Tower” immediately after use. Allowing the chocolate to cool and harden in the unit will make clean-up difficult.
- Unplug before cleaning.
- Carefully pour out remaining chocolate from the Bowl Basin, and pour in plastic bag for disposal in a garbage bag. Do not pour excess chocolate down a drain.
- Wash Tower and Auger thoroughly by hand with a sponge or soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Never use anything abrasive to clean parts as it could damage the original finish.
