STEP 2: Clean the tower and the auger in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the Chocolate Fountain in water or any other liquid. Never use harsh or abrasive cleaning detergents or scourers to clean the Chocolate Fountain or its accessories, as this could cause damage.

Assembling the Chocolate Fountain

STEP 1: Place the Chocolate Fountain onto a stable, heat-resistant surface, at a height that is comfortable for the user; this ensures a smooth flow of chocolate.
STEP 2: In the centre of the Chocolate Fountain base bowl there are three locating pins for the 3-tier tower section and a triangular motor spindle for the auger. Position the 3-tier tower section on the locating pins in the base. Add the bottom 2 tiers first to build the tower.
STEP 3: When the 3-tier tower section is in place, pass the auger down through the top of the 3-tier tower section with the triangular locating slot facing downwards.
STEP 4: Rotate the auger back and forth slightly, until it drops into place over the motor spindle. Fit the top tier onto the 3-tier tower section.
STEP 5: Check that the control dial is set to the’Off’ position and then plug in and switch on the Chocolate Fountain at the mains power supply.
STEP 6: Turn the control dial to the’Heat/Motor position to check that the auger is spinning freely.
STEP 7: Fit the tray around the base of the chocolate fountain, there is a gap in the tray for the wire.
STEP a: Switch off the Chocolate Fountain and unplug it from the mains power supply.
Selecting the Chocolate The Chocolate Fountain will work with most types of chocolate, especially those with a high cocoa solid content. Chocolate such as Belgian or Couverture requires little or no additional oil. Milk and dark chocolate will work well but you should thin it by adding some light vegetable or sunflower oil. This will not alter the flavour, as it is fairly tasteless when mixed with chocolate. Add approx. 750 g chocolate and 200 ml oil, if required.

Melting the Chocolate

In the Microwave

STEP 1: Put approx. 750 g chopped or grated chocolate into a microwaveable bowl.
STEP 2: Place the bowl into the microwave for 2-3 minutes, depending upon the wattage of the microwave.
STEP 3: Check the chocolate frequently as It can burn easily. The chocolate may require stirring during the melting process.
STEP 4: Stir in approx. 200 ml vegetable or sunflower oil (if required) and mix thoroughly until the chocolate is a smooth consistency.

On the Hob

STEP 1: Place 750 g chopped or grated chocolate into a small, heatproof bowl or saucepan.
STEP 2: Fill a larger pan with water and bring it to the boil. When the water has boiled, turn off the heat.
STEP 3: Place the bowl of chocolate over the hot water and stir carefully until it has fully melted. Add in approx. 200 ml vegetable or sunflower oil (if required) and mix thoroughly until the chocolate is a smooth consistency.

In the Chocolate Fountain Base

Chocolate can be melted in the base of the fountain by adding approx. 750 g chopped or grated chocolate to the bowl until it is approx. 44 full.
STEP 1: Turn the control dial to the’Heat/Motor’ position and wait approx. one hour for the chocolate to melt, stirring occasionally.
STEP 2: Do not leave the Chocolate Fountain unattended when it is in use, as chocolate can burn easily.
STEP 3: Stir in approx. 200 ml vegetable or sunflower oil (if required) and mix thoroughly until the chocolate is a smooth consistency.

Using the Chocolate Fountain

STEP 1: Assemble the Chocolate Fountain as described in the section entitled ‘Assembling the Chocolate Fountain’, placing it securely on a level, stable, heat-resistant surface.
STEP 2: Turn the control dial to the’Heat/Motor position and allow the Chocolate Fountain to warm up for approx. 3-4 minutes.
STEP 3: Add the melted chocolate from either the microwave, the hob or melt it in the Chocolate Fountain base. Fill to just below the rim, taking care not to overfill. The melted chocolate will be drawn up to the top of Chocolate Fountain by the rotating auger and flow over the 3-tier tower section.
STEP 4: If the chocolate is too thick to flow smoothly, add a little more oil. STEP 5: Once the chocolate is cascading smoothly, food can be dipped into the melted chocolate.

Troubleshooting

Storage
