NOTE
:
There may be dust and production residue on the appliance.
We recommend cleaning the appliance as described under
“Cleaning”.
Notes on Use
You can use the chocolate fountain for many types of event,
such as birthday parties, office and family parties, weddings
or other types of party etc. Or simply place the device in the
middle of a buffet.
The Chocolate
• The most suitable type of chocolate is one with a high
proportion of cocoa butter that is specifically made for
chocolate fondues. The proportion of cocoa should be at
least 60 %.
•
If the amount of cocoa is below 60 % it may be necessary
to add a little vegetable oil. Otherwise the chocolate is too
viscous and does not form closed loops on the cascades.
• We recommend the following types of chocolate: milk or
bitter chocolate, milk or bitter chocolate coating, white
chocolate or white chocolate coating.
• You can also use peppermint, strawberry or mocha
chocolate.
• According to taste you can also add small amounts of
amaretto, coffee liqueur, coffee powder, coconut milk or
similar items.
•
The following are unsuitable:
chocolate containing
whole nuts, almonds or chips. These types of chocolate
could obstruct the spiral.
• Do not add any solid or large pieces of chocolate when
the motor is running. Never add cold or cooled liquids as
this would cause the chocolate to cool down too quickly
and might obstruct the spiral.
• In order to create a fountain you need at least 500 g of
chocolate or 750 g of chocolate coating. The quantity also
depends on the type of chocolate you are using.
Dipping
• You can use the following items for dipping, e.g.: foam
sugar, grapes, apples, strawberries, bananas, balls of ice
cream, pastry, nuts. The choice is only limited by your
imagination.
• Do not hold the “dipped” food over the collecting pan for
too long as it may fall in and obstruct the spiral.
Installation and Use
Before assembly:
Ensure that the mains plug is not in the
socket and that the switch (7 + 8) is turned to the “
OFF
“
position.
•
Place the motor housing (4) on a smooth, flat and stable
working surface.
• This working surface should be easy to clean, as there
will be some splashes.
• Place the spiral (1) on the drive on the collecting pan.
• Place the cascades (2) over the spiral. The three bolts on
the collecting pan are located in the holes of the cascade.
• The assembled fountain must be in a horizontal position;
place the device in this position if it is not already.
Preparation
Wash and clean the fruit. Cut the fruit up into mouth-sized
pieces.
Melting the Chocolate
• As the heating element in the device needs a long time to
melt the chocolate, we recommend liquefying the choco-
late or chocolate coating beforehand. Take approximately
500 g of chocolate or 750 g of chocolate coating. It may
be necessary to adapt this quantity depending on the type
of chocolate.
• Melt the chocolate in an appropriate vessel on the cooker
(in a water bath if necessary) or in the microwave oven.
Do not allow the chocolate to become too hot, as other-
wise it will turn grey when it cools down.
• You can also melt the chocolate in the collecting pan (3)
once you have connected the device to the electric power
supply.
• Turn the rotary switch to
HEAT
and add the chocolate
in small pieces. The collecting pan has a volume of
approximately 1 kg.
CAUTION
:
The motor should only be switched on after the chocolate
has completely melted.
Electrical Connection
• Unwind the mains lead completely.
• Ensure that both function switches are turned to “
OFF
“.
• Before plugging in the appliance, check if the mains
voltage matches. Refer to the rating label for the specifi
-
cations of the appliance.
•
Connect the appliance to a certified wall socket only.
Operation
1. Fill the collecting pan with melted chocolate or melt the
chocolate as described above.
2. Turn the function switch (7) to
HEAT
in order to melt the
chocolate or to keep it liquid. The control lamp (5) lights
up. We recommended leaving the heating switched on all
the time while the machine is operating; the switch (7) is
turned to
HEAT
.
3. If the chocolate is liquid, turn the switch (8) to
MOTOR
.
The spiral transports the chocolate to the top, before it
flows back down over the cascades into the collecting
pan.
4. After approximately 2 minutes the device should be
switched off for about 1 minute in order to allow any air in
the tower to escape. Then switch the device on again.
