HOW TO OPERATE
•
First, find a stable surface near an electrical outlet before starting. Unit must be
level to operate properly and to create the desired flowing effect. Make sure your cord
is away from any water source. If needed, it is acceptable to use an extension cord.
•
Turn the switch on the right to start the heater on the
SMART Cascading Choc-
olate Fountain.
Let the unit warm up for at least 3 – 5 minutes before adding melted
chocolate.
•
While the machine is warming up, get a microwaveable bowl. Fill bowl with two
pounds of chocolate chips (32 ounces) and ¾ of a cup of oil. You may need to add
more oil to ensure proper flow. If you are using Belgian Chocolate, you do not need to
add oil.
•
Place in microwave for 2½ minutes. When done, stir choolate. If necessary,
continue to warm chocolate in microwave until melting is complete (another 2 to 2½
minutes). DO NOT heat chocolate over 110
o
F as warping of the towers may occur.
•
Never add cool or cold liquids to the melted chocolate in the fountain as this will
stop the flow.
•
Chocolate needs to be completely melted and of thin consistency to allow proper
flow. Use a large spoon to test the consistency of the chocolate. If the chocolate drips
too thickly from the spoon, add more oil to the mixture.
•
Once the chocolate is completely melted and of proper consistency, turn the mo-
tor switch on the
SMART Cascading Chocolate Fountain
to the HEAT MOTOR position,
so the motor and the heater are running at the same time.
•
Carefully pour the melted chocolate into the Bowl at the base of the Tower. The
melted chocolate should be drawn under the Tower Cylinders and carried up the Tow-
er by the Auger. Chocolate should then begin to flow from the top of the Tower and
cascade evenly down each tier.
•
The
SMART Cascading Chocolate Fountain
must be level to ensure proper sheet-
ing of the chocolate. Be careful not to drop pieces of food into the Bowl which clogs
the flow of chocolate.
HELPFUL TIPS
•
If chocolate begins to drip instead of flow down the Tower, the chocolate is too
thick. Thin the chocolate by adding vegetable oil. Also, make sure that the unit is level.
•
If the chocolate is flowing unevenly, the unit is not level. Make sure that the unit is
on a level surface so that the chocolate is evenly distributed.
•
If the flow is intermittent, interrupted or not flowing properly, check to see if there
are chunks of food in the Bowl of the Base that may be clogging the chocolate flow.
•
Never add cool or cold liquid to the
SMART Cascading Chocolate Fountain
as this
will stop the flow of the fountain.
•
DO NOT heat chocolate over 110
o
F as warping of the towers may occur.
