Getting ready to eat 

Place the Fountain on a flat and stable surface within reach of a mains supply or extension 
lead. The Fountain must be completely level to work properly so adjust the small feet on the 
base as you need to.

Plug the Fountain in. Turn the dial clockwise to the Heat position. Let it warm up for 
between 3-5 minutes. 

PreParinG the chocolate

Now it’s time to get the chocolate ready. It needs to be melted before you place it in the 
warmed Fountain bowl. The quickest and simplest way to do this is in a microwave but you 
can also melt your chocolate on the hob. For the best cascading effects, you need at least 
800g and ideally 900g of chocolate to start. This is a generous serving for up to 6 people.

microwave

If you’re using Giles & Posner Luxury Fondue Chocolate in microwaveable pouches, simply 
follow the instructions on the pack.

If you’re using another brand of chocolate, break it into pieces and place it in a bowl in 
the microwave. Heat it for 1 minute on Medium power (800W oven) and then stir. Return 
it to the microwave for a further minute and then check again. The chocolate must be 
completely melted and of a thin consistency that flows easily off a spoon. You will also need 
to add some vegetable oil to your chosen chocolate to improve its flowing quality. See page 
4 for details. 

hob

Place the chocolate in a heat-resistant bowl. Stand the bowl in a large saucepan of hot 
water on the hob over a low heat. Stir the chocolate constantly until it’s completely melted, 
taking care not to let it stick or burn. 

Again, you’ll need to add some vegetable oil. Quantities are detailed on page 4. 

It’s important not to add water or any water-based liquids to your chocolate as this will 
make it harden and stop the flow. 

addinG the chocolate to your fountain

Now turn the dial to the Heat & Flow position. Get your choice of dipping foods ready 
around the base. Pour your melted chocolate into the centre of the Fountain bowl at the 
bottom of the tier system. The spiral drive inside will draw the chocolate up to the top –  
and then the enticing cascade will start to flow over the tiers with its irresistible warm 
chocolate aroma. 

And start dipping!
