KNOW YOUR CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN

BEFORE FIRST USE

Note: When using the product for the first time, carefully remove all internal and external packaging, protective film, and accessories.

•  Clean the base with a damp cloth or sponge. Wipe dry with a soft dry cloth.

WARNING! Do not immerse the base in water or any other liquids to clean.

• Wash the tower and auger with warm soapy water. Dry all components thoroughly before use.

ASSEMBLY

• Place the base on a suitable flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface.
• Place the auger on top of the drive shaft. Ensure that the drive shaft is fully inserted into the bottom of the auger.

IMPORTANT: If the drive shaft is not correctly inserted, the auger will fail to operate properly, resulting in minimal chocolate flow when the machine is switched on.

•  Once the auger is correctly in place, the tower can be placed over it.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to align the 3 location pins with the collar at the bottom of the tower. This will prevent the tower from moving during operation, allowing the chocolate to cascade smoothly.
CAUTION: Do not force the collar over the location pins as this may damage the machine.

OPERATION

•  Connect the chocolate fountain to the mains power supply and turn the control dial right to the heat position.
• The power indicator light will illuminate red and the bowl will then begin to heat. Allow the chocolate bowl to heat up for around 15minutes before adding chocolate.
•  During this time, fill a microwaveable bowl with 250-290g chocolate chips or grated chocolate and add 1 teaspoon of oil  (vegetable oil is recommended). However, if you are using Belgian chocolate, oil is not required.
•  Place the microwaveable bowl and its contents into the microwave for 2 minutes, then stir the chocolate thoroughly until smooth and runny (liquid consistency). If necessary, continue to warm the chocolate for a further 2~4 minutes.

CAUTION: always use oven gloves and take extra care when removing the microwaveable bowl from the microwave as it will be extremely hot during use.

• Alternatively, warm the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl over a pan of boiling water (do not allow the boiling water to touch the bowl). Once the chocolate is melted, add in the oil and stir until combined. Remove the bowl of chocolate from the pan.

IMPORTANT: The chocolate to be added to the fountain must be completely melted and of a thin consistency to allow for optimal flow. Use a large spoon (not supplied) to test the consistency; if the chocolate drops slowly from the spoon, add more oil to the mixture in 1 teaspoon increments.

• Once the chocolate is of the correct consistency turn the control dial to heat motor position. The motor and heater will now operate at the same time.
•  Carefully pour the melted chocolate from the microwaveable bowl into the heated chocolate bowl at the base of the tower.

CAUTION: The chocolate and fountain are hot.

• Chocolate will be slowly drawn up through the tower by the auger inside and begin to cascade down each tier.

IMPORTANT: Do not add any water or cooled liquids to the melted chocolate as this will restrict or stop the flow of the fountain.

NOTE: We recommend you use solid food pieces for dipping such as strawberries and marshmallows. Do not use food that can crumble, such as biscuits, as they may fall into the bowl and can obstruct the flow of the chocolate fountain.

• If the chocolate is not flowing properly, switch off the machine and allow for any air bubbles to travel up the auger for a few seconds before turning on again.
•  Prepare a fantastic selection of dipping foods for you and your guests to dip into the flowing chocolate. Some of our favorites include marshmallows, fudge, strawberries, cherries seedless grapes, sliced banana, profiteroles, mini doughnuts, mini waffles, mini sponge cakes, Turkish delight, nougat, etc.
•  What not to dip into the chocolate fountain:
  1. Foods that crumble easily such as biscuits, as can clog up the Fountain.
  2. Wet fruits, as any liquids will cause the chocolate to seize and slow or stop the flow.
  3. Ask your guests not to dip their fingers into the flowing chocolate as this may contaminate it for other users. Always use forks or skewers (not supplied).

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Before carrying out cleaning or maintenance, disconnect the machine from the mains power supply.

•  Once the chocolate fountain has completely cooled, remove the auger and tower from the base and wipe off any remaining chocolate with a paper towel.
•  Soak the tower and auger in warm, soapy water for around 5 minutes, and scrub using a soft sponge or cloth.
•  Pour any remaining chocolate out of the bowl and into a bin liner or throwaway container before disposing of in a bin.

CAUTION: Do not discard of liquid chocolate down the sink as it may harden and cause a blockage.

•  Wipe any chocolate now left in the bowl with a paper towel then clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Buff dry using a soft towel.

CAUTION: Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaning materials such as scrubbing brushes or metal scourers as these will damage the surfaces of the machine.
WARNING! Never immerse the base and bowl in water or other liquids to clean as there is a high risk of electric shock and damage to the product.

• Store the chocolate fountain with the power cord loosely coiled in a cool, dry area away from children.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM|

SOLUTION

---|---
MACHINE WILL NOT START.|

• Check that the Chocolate Fountain is connected to the mains power.
• Turn the CONTROL DIAL to the ‘HEAT’ setting.

THE CHOCOLATE IS NOT MELTING.|

• Ensure the machine is connected to mains power.
• Pre-melt the chocolate in a microwave for 2 minutes prior to adding to the BOWL.
• Different types of chocolate have varying melting points. Some may take longer to melt than others. We recommend grating or chopping the chocolate finely before melting it in the microwave oven, this will greatly decrease the time it takes to melt.

THE CHOCOLATE HAS BURNT.|

• Do not allow the chocolate to sit in the BOWL for an extended period before operating the motor.
• Different types of chocolate require varied temperatures to make it melt successfully; dark chocolate is the easiest due to its high cocoa content whilst white chocolate can burn quite easily.
•  Whilst it is important to keep movement to a minimum when melting chocolate (so that it is evenly melted), it is also necessary to give it an occasional stir to stop it from sticking to the bowl and reduce the risk of sticking and burning.

THE CHOCOLATE APPEARS GRAINY.|

• It is possible to rectify this by adding a small amount of vegetable oil.
