the bottom of the auger. Do not attempt to assemble or install any components while the
product is operating.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Find a flat, level, stable surface. Unit must be level to operate properly.
2. Turn the power switch to HEAT to preheat the bowl.
NOTE: let the unit warm up for at least ten minutes before adding the melted chocolate.
3. Prepare Chocolate:
a) Combine 3 cups of chocolate chips (18oz/510g) and ¾ cups of vegetable oil (6
fl.oz/177.4ml). in a microwave-safe container and place it into your microwave oven.
You can add up to a total of 5

3
cups of chocolate chips (32oz/906g) into the unit; just
add 1/4 cup of oil (2 fl.oz/59.13ml) for each additional cup of chocolate chips used.
NOTE:
Milk chocolate, dark semi-sweet chocolate, or white chocolate may also be used.
The maximum amount of chocolate that can be used in this product is 2 lbs.
b) Heat the chocolate in a microwave oven on high for 1 minute.
c) If necessary, heat mixture again for an additional 20-30 seconds until completely
melted and smooth. Stir the mixture well and add a tbsp. or more of oil if the
mixture is too thick.
d) Repeat heating process if necessary. The chocolate must be of a consistency thin
enough to allow proper flow.
e) If desired, other liquids such as liqueurs may be added (approximately 1/4 cup
of liqueur, depending on your taste).
CAUTION: Container with melted chocolate will be hot; use oven mitts or other hand
protection to help prevent a burn.
NOTE:
Use chocolate that is a maximum of 60% cocoa. Any higher percentage may
require the addition of too much oil to obtain proper flow.
4. Once the chocolate is completely melted, turn the power switch to HEAT/MOTOR to
begin the auger rotation. Pour the chocolate into the fountain’s bowl carefully as the
chocolate will be hot. This will start the flow of the chocolate.
CAUTION: To prevent clogging, do not drop food pieces or other objects into the
chocolate. Also, do not add cold liquids to the chocolate mixture or it may thicken and
prevent proper operation of the fountain.
NOTE:
If chocolate flow becomes inconsistent, turn the power switch back to HEAT and
allow a few seconds for the chocolate to settle; then turn the power switch back to
HEAT/MOTOR.
