PARTS & ASSEMBLY
Your 4-TIER STAINLESS STEEL CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN requires little
assembly. Prior to use, wipe out Bowl with a damp cloth and dry.
Wash Auger and Tower in warm soapy water, rinse, then dry.
After cleaning, return Auger to Base. Make sure Auger is securely in place by
aligning the opening on the bottom of the Auger with the Base Pin. Do not
attempt to place Auger or Tower on Base or remove from Base while the motor is
running. Make sure the Tower is fitted on the posts in the Base properly.
SWITCH POSITIONS
HOW TO OPERATE
-
First, find a stable surface near an electrical outlet before starting. The unit must be level to operate properly and to create the desired flowing effect. Make sure your cord is away from any water source. If needed, it is acceptable to use an extension cord.
-
Turn the switch on the right to start the heater on the 4-TIER STAINLESS STEEL CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN. Let the unit warm-up for at least 3 – 5 minutes before adding melted chocolate.
-
While the machine is warming up, get a microwaveable bowl. Fill a bowl with two pounds of chocolate chips (32 ounces) and ¾ of a cup of oil. You may need to add more oil to ensure proper flow. If you are using Belgian Chocolate, you do not need to add oil.
-
Place in microwave for 2½ minutes. When done, stir the chocolate. If necessary, continue to warm chocolate in the microwave until melting is complete (another 2 to 2½ minutes).
DO NOT heat chocolate over 110 o F as warping of the towers may occur. -
Never add cool or cold liquids to the melted chocolate in the fountain as this will stop the flow.
-
Chocolate needs to be completely melted and of thin consistency to allow proper flow. Use a large spoon to test the consistency of the chocolate. If the chocolate drips too thickly from the spoon, add more oil to the mixture.
-
Once the chocolate is completely melted and of proper consistency, turn the motor switch on the 4-TIER STAINLESS STEEL CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN to the ON position, so the motor and the heater are running at the same time.
-
Carefully pour the melted chocolate into the Bowl at the base of the Tower. The melted chocolate should be drawn under the Tower and carried up the Tower by the Auger. Chocolate should then begin to flow from the top of the Tower and cascade evenly down each tier.
-
The 4-TIER STAINLESS STEEL CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN must be level to ensure proper sheeting of the chocolate. Be careful not to drop pieces of food into the Bowl which clogs the flow of chocolate.
HELPFUL TIPS
- If chocolate begins to drip instead of flow down the Tower, the chocolate is too thick. Thin the chocolate by adding vegetable oil. Also, make sure that the unit is level.
- If the chocolate is flowing unevenly, the unit is not level. Make sure that the unit is on a level surface so that the chocolate is evenly distributed.
- If the flow is intermittent, interrupted or not flowing properly, check to see if there are chunks of food in the Bowl of the Base that may be clogging the chocolate flow.
- Never add cool or cold liquid to the 4-TIER STAINLESS STEEL CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN as this will stop the flow of the fountain.
- DO NOT heat chocolate over 110 o F as warping of the towers may occur.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
To prolong the life of your 4-TIER STAINLESS STEEL CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN be sure to follow cleaning instructions after every use. Never use anything abrasive on the base to maintain the original finish.
- Make sure the unit is unplugged before cleaning. Allow parts to COOL to the touch. Tower, Auger, and Base can get VERY HOT!
- Before first use and continuing after each use, be sure to wash the Tower and Auger thoroughly. AVOID washing parts in the dishwasher.
- To make cleaning of the 4-TIER STAINLESS STEEL CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN easier, carefully remove the Tower and Auger (after cooling) and wipe off the remaining chocolate with paper towels. Wash in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry.
- Carefully pour out as much remaining chocolate from the Bowl as possible. Use a non-abrasive, damp sponge or cloth to wipe clean the rest of the unit. Then, wipe with a non-abrasive towel to dry.
DO NOT POUR OUT EXCESS OR LEFTOVER CHOCOLATE DOWN ANY DRAIN. POUR INTO A PLASTIC BAG OR DISPOSABLE CONTAINER THEN PUT INTO THE GARBAGE.
RECIPES
For best results, chocolate should contain 60% cocoa. Any higher percentage of
cocoa will require the addition of vegetable oil to thin out the mixture.
DO NOT ADD ANY COLD LIQUIDS TO THE FOUNTAIN DURING OPERATION.
This will cause your mixture to thicken and not flow properly.
Enhance the flavor of your chocolate using liqueurs.
Try these delectable chocolate creations:
Orange Chocolate: Orange Liqueur or Orange Concentrate
Chocolate Hazelnut: Hazelnut Liqueur
Coffee Chocolate: Amaretto
Mint Chocolate: Crème de Menthe
Chocolate Macaroon: Crème de Coconut
Chocolate Liqueur: Any Brand of Chocolate Liqueur
To burn the alcohol off of the liqueur:
- Prior to mixing the liqueur with the chocolate, measure ¼ cup of liqueur (more or less depending on taste) and pour into a small cooking pot.
- Cook the liqueur on the stovetop and bring to a boil.
- Mix the liqueur with a choice of chocolate before adding to the 4-TIER STAINLESS STEEL CHOCOLATE FONDUE FOUNTAIN.
You can also melt cheese to create a cheese fondue fountain. Dip grapes, apples, bread, shrimp, crackers, and pretzels – use your imagination! In order to use cheese, just 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. Powdered cheese may be used as well. Barbeque sauces may also be used. Try your favorite barbeque sauce and dip cooked chicken cubes, beef/steak cubes, pork cubes, or shrimp. Just keep in mind the consistency of the sauce needs to be thin! Use wine, liquor, or other liquids to thin the sauce.
