Instructions for Use

Before Using Your Chocolate Fountain

Before using your chocolate fountain, clean the tower and the auger in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. Wipe down the base with a damp cloth; do not immerse it in water or any other liquids.

Assembling Your Chocolate Fountain

Place your chocolate fountain on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.

Place the lower tower section onto the ring in the centre of the chocolate bowl, ensuring that the section is slotted into the ring and sits flush. Attach both mid tower sections to the top of the lower tower section, pushing them gently but firmly in place.

Insert the auger down the centre of the attached pieces and twist until it clips into place.

Now fit the top tower section onto the mid tower section.

Ensure the control switch is in the off position ("O") and plug the mains power cord into the mains supply. To turn on, press the On/Off switch to activate the heat and the auger will begin turning.

Preparing Chocolate

The chocolate will need to be melted before you place it into the chocolate bowl; the quickest and simplest way to do this is in a microwave, but you can also melt your chocolate on the hob.

Your chocolate fountain will work with most types of chocolate, but especially those with a high cocoa solid content. Chocolate such as Belgian or couverture chocolate requires little or no additional oil.

Milk and dark chocolate will work well, but you should thin it by adding some light vegetable or sunflower oil. Light vegetable or sunflower oil will not alter the taste as it is fairly tasteless when mixed with chocolate.

A maximum of 800g and minimum of 400g of chocolate is recommended for use in the chocolate fountain to produce the best cascading effects.

Melting Chocolate

In the Microwave

Place between 400g and 800g of chopped or grated chocolate into a microwaveable bowl.

Place the bowl in the microwave for 1 minute depending on the wattage of your microwave. Stir, then return to the microwave if it has not completely melted.

Check your chocolate frequently as it can burn easily.

The chocolate must be completely melted and of a thin consistency that flows easily off a spoon.

On the Hob

If you don't have a microwave, place your chocolate in a small, heatproof bowl or saucepan.

Fill a larger pan with water and bring to the boil. When the water has boiled, turn off the heat. Place your bowl of chocolate into the hot water and stir until it has fully melted.

Using Different Chocolates in Your Fountain

To get the best cascading effects, it is recommended that you use chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa solids. Dark chocolate usually has a higher percentage than milk chocolate, but other chocolates can work well with the addition of vegetable oil.

The below table will help to prepare your chosen chocolate:

Manufacturer/Brand	Amount to use Vegetable oil to add		Preparation
Green & Blacks Organic Bittersweet Dark Chocolate 70% Cocoa Solids	400g 28ml Mix 400g with	28ml	of oil and microwave for 1 minute. Stir and if necessary, microwave for 30 seconds more.
Lindt Excellence Dark Extra Fine Chocolate 70% Cocoa Solids	400g 57ml Mix 400g with	57ml	of oil and microwave for 1 minute. Stir and if necessary, microwave for 30 seconds more.
Tesco Value Chocolate 50% Cocoa Solids	400g 99ml Mix 400g with	99ml	of oil and microwave for 1 minute. Stir and if necessary, microwave for 30 seconds more.
Supercook Belgian Milk Chocolate 30% Cocoa Solids	400g 71ml Mix 400g with	71ml	of oil and microwave for 1 minute. Stir and if necessary, microwave for 30 seconds more.
Cadbury's Dairy Milk 20% Cocoa Solids	400g 71ml Mix 400g with	71ml	of oil and microwave for 1 minute. Stir and if necessary, microwave for 30 seconds more.
Galaxy Milk Chocolate 14% Cocoa Solids	400g 85ml Mix 400g with	85ml	of oil and microwave for 1 minute. Stir and if necessary, microwave for 30 seconds more.

Please Note

Timings are based on heating the chocolate on a medium setting in an 800W microwave oven. If your microwave oven has a different wattage, please check with the manufacturer's instructions.

As chocolate burns easily, check it regularly and do not heat it for more than 1 minute at a time.

If you're melting the chocolate on a hob, follow the general instructions for melting chocolate on the hob and add oil as indicated above.

Important

Do not pour excess or leftover chocolate down the sink, as melted chocolate solidifies when it cools and may block your drains.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Ensure the appliance is switched off and the plug is removed from the mains supply before conducting any cleaning or maintenance.

Start by pouring away any remaining liquid chocolate into a plastic bag or other disposable container, then place in a bin. Never pour the chocolate into a drain or toilet as this could result in a blockage when it hardens.

Let the fountain cool down, wipe off any remaining chocolate in the bowl and on the sides of the base unit with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning solutions or scourers, as these will damage the surface.

Wash the auger and tower sections in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.

Troubleshooting

Problem Cause
There's an uneven flow of chocolate. The base isn't level. Your chocolate isn't distributed evenly in the bowl.
There's an intermittent flow of chocolate. Check for blockages at the base of your tower.
There's a slow flow of chocolate. There may be an air bubble in the auger; stop and restart the motor.
The chocolate is dripping rather than flowing. The base isn't level. Your chocolate is too thick. There isn't enough chocolate in the bowl.
Chocolate is very thick. More oil is needed to reduce the thickness.
Chocolate is lumpy. Your chocolate is either burnt or has been over-heated.
Chocolate is stiff and dough like. Moisture has irreversibly stiffened your chocolate.
Chocolate fountain stops working. The motor safety cut-out has overheated, allow to cool and turn on again.

CONNECTION TO THE MAINS

Please check that the voltage indicated on the product corresponds with your supply voltage.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue Neutral (N)

Brown Live (L)

The wire coloured BLUE is the NEUTRAL and must be connected to the terminal marked N or coloured BLACK.

The wire coloured BROWN is the LIVE wire and must be connected to the terminal marked L or coloured RED.

The wire coloured GREEN/YELLOW must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter E or marked ± .

Always ensure that the cord grip is fastened correctly.

The plug must be fitted with a fuse of the same rating already fitted and conforming to BS 1362 and be ASTA approved.

If in doubt consult a qualified electrician who will be pleased to do this for you.

NON-REWIREABLE MAINS PLUG

If your appliance is supplied with a non-rewireable plug fitted to the mains lead and should the fuse need replacing, you must use an ASTA approved one (conforming to BS 1362 of the same rating).

If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician who will be pleased to do this for you.

If you need to remove the plug - DISCONNECT IT FROM THE MAINS and then cut it off the mains lead and immediately dispose of it safely. Never attempt to re-use the plug or insert it into a socket outlet as there is a danger of an electric shock.
