6.
The easiest way to melt the chocolate quickly is in a microwave oven, break up the chocolate into small
pieces and microwave for approximately 60-90 seconds, however this will depend on the microwave ovens
voltage. You could also melt your chocolate on the
stovetop over a water bath.
7.
Pour melted chocolate into bowl at the base of the unit. Fill just before the rim. Then turn the motor to the
ON position. Watch the chocolate get pulled up and then come down the fountain tiers.
8.
Let the unit flow for 2 minutes. Then turn the motor OFF for 30 seconds, to eliminate any air gap possibly
causing the chocolate not to flow well. Then turn the motor back ON. If the flow is not good, add half a
teaspoon of cooking oil to thin the chocolate slightly. Also, then check to make sure the unit is level.
9.
You should now have a nice flowing fountain.
10. Never add any cold liquids or unmelted chocolate to the fountain while in use.
11. Always check to make sure no chunks of food are in the base as it may clog the flow of chocolate.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE/REMEDY
Chocolate is dripping, not flowing
Chocolate is too thick, thin with cooking oil.
Unit is not LEVEL. Level unit.
Chocolate is flowing unevenly
Unit is not LEVEL, level unit so that chocolate
is evenly distributed around the tower.
Flow is intermittent, interrupted, not flowing
properly
Check for chunks of food in base that may be
clogging the chocolate flow to base of tower,
remove any chunks found.
DO NOT ADD COOL OR COLD LIQUID – THIS WILL STOP THE FLOW OF THE FOUNTAIN.
Cleaning:
1.
Always ensure that the unit is unplugged from the mains before cleaning.
2.
Before first use and continuing after each use, be sure to wash the tower, and auger thoroughly. Tower
and auger are best to soak but are dishwasher safe as well.
3.
To make cleaning of the fountain easier, carefully remove the tower and auger (after cooling), wipe off
remaining chocolate with paper towels. Wash in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry.
4.
Pour excess or leftover chocolate in plastic bag or disposable container and then into the garbage. Do not
pour it down the drain or in toilet.
5.
Carefully pour out as much remaining chocolate from the base bowl as possible. Use damp sponge or
clothe to wipe clean the remainder and to clean the outside of the unit, wipe with a non-abrasive towel to
dry. Note: Do not immerse base into water, this holds all of the electrical components.
