FAQs
Can I use regular chocolate chips?
Yes, but you must melt them first and ensure they have a high enough fat content or add a little vegetable oil to achieve the correct flow.
Is the unit dishwasher safe?
It is recommended to hand wash the stainless steel components with warm soapy water to maintain the finish and ensure longevity.
Can I put savory sauces in the fountain?
Yes, the fountain works well with smooth savory sauces like Nacho cheese or BBQ sauce as long as they are thin and free of large solid particles.
How long can I leave the fountain running?
The fountain is designed for party use, but avoid leaving it running for more than 2-3 hours at a time to protect the motor.
What is the capacity of the bowl?
The fountain has a capacity of 500ml.
Troubleshooting
Chocolate is not flowing smoothly
The chocolate may be too thick. Add a small amount of vegetable oil or cocoa butter to thin the mixture to the correct consistency.
Chocolate is not melting or is pooling
Ensure you are using pre-melted chocolate before adding it to the bowl, as the heating element is designed to maintain heat rather than melt solids.
Fountain is making a loud noise
Check that the auger is properly seated on the motor spindle and that the unit is on a perfectly level surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the unit, place the base on a level, stable surface to prevent uneven flow. Attach the auger securely to the base motor spindle and slide the tiers over the central column until seated firmly. Always pre-melt your chocolate in the microwave or a double boiler before adding it to the bowl; the fountain is designed to maintain temperature, not to melt solid chocolate chunks. After use, unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before disassembling. Wash the stainless steel tiers and auger in warm, soapy water. Avoid submerging the base or power cord in water to prevent electrical damage.
