Starting up To start using the Chocolate Fountain, please follow the below instructions: Plug in the appliance to the main power supply. Set the heater temperature to 70 degrees by pressing the up arrow. Allow the fountain bowl to heat for minutes. Your chocolate needs to be melted before pouring it into the pre-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 with our 4-Tier Chocolate Fountain, you will need kg of chocolate. Fountain: The simplest method to melt your chocolate is to pour 2.5 kg of chocolate drops into fountain bowl with the heating element on, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Once melted, add the second 2.5 kg batch of chocolate drops. Ensure the spiral drive is turned off until the chocolate has fully melted. This process will take approximately 2 hours. Microwave: Place your chocolate into a suitable bowl, microwave for 1½ minutes on medium power (800w), then stir. Return the bowl of chocolate to the microwave and heat for a further 1½ minutes and then check again, repeating until melted and of a thin consistency that flows easily off a spoon. Hob: Chocolate may also be melted using the Bain-marie/double boiler method (pour the chocolate drops into a heat-resistant bowl which fits over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring constantly until it has completely melted. Take care not to let it stick, burn or for any water to mix with the chocolate. 3
