Installation instructions

Installation / Assembly & Disassembly

• Place the auger on the base unit: place the auger on the triangular shaped axle of the base unit.
• Place the pipe holder on the bottom of fountain pipe.
• Place the fountain pipe over the auger and line up the three holes of the pipe holder with the pins on the base unit while placing the fountain pipe on the base unit.
• The chocolate fountain is now ready for use.

Operating instructions

• Switch position: Left is for the motor, Right is for the heater.
• Turn on the heating element to preheat the chocolate fountain around 3 – 5mins.
• Prepare 1500 grams of chocolate as follows:
  • Put the chocolate in a heat-resistant bowl.
  • Put the bowl in a pot with warm water (60°C). NOTE! Don’t let the water boil.
  • Stir the chocolate until is has melted completely. Do not add water to or spil water into the chocolate.
  • The chocolate has to be fluid (like yoghurt). If that is not the case, add some tasteless vegetable oil (sun flower) to it.
• Turn on the motor and pour the chocolate into the lower bowl.
• The auger moves the chocolate up.
• You can start now.
• Only use fruit that is sufficiently cooled and has a dry surface.
• The low temperature of the fruit helps the chocolate to solidify and the dry surface helps the chocolate to attach easier to the fruit. Too much moist/water will deteriorate the consistancy of the chocolate.

NOTE! Air bubbles in the fountain pipe disrupt the evenly flow of chocolate. In which case you must turn off the motor and wait for the air bubbles to escape from the fountain pipe (this may take a few minutes). It is normal for air to escape at the bottom of the fountain pipe during this procedure. Switch the motor on again if the fountain pipe is free of air bubbles.
