Suitable chocolates
Using the chocolate fountain
For the chocolate fountain you can use all types of
standard commercial chocolates that do not contain
any solid ingredients, for example, nuts.
Note:
Melt the chocolate before filling the chocolate fountain,
either in a microwave or on the stove. It will take a
long time to melt it in the chocolate fountain!
However, as a general rule, the higher the proportion
of cacao butter in the chocolate, the better are the
flow characteristics. Accordingly, covering chocolate
(coverture) is especially suitable for the chocolate
fountain.
Coverture is a type of chocolate that contains more
cacao butter than conventional chocolates. The share
of cacao butter in coverture should lie between at
least 33% and 38%.
1. Place a maximum of 500 gr of chocolate into
a pot and then heat this up, either in a double boiler
or in the microwave. Details of the type of chocolate
suitable for the chocolate fountain are to be found
in the chapter “Suitable chocolates”.
2. If necessary, add about 2-4 table spoons of coo-
king oil to increase the flow capacity. When
warming it up, ensure that the chocolate does
not become "burnt on".
The share of cacao in the chocolate should amount
to no more than 60%. The higher the share of cacao,
the worse are the flow characteristics.
3. Repeat this procedure with a further maximum
of 500 gr of chocolate for the second half of
the chocolate fountain.
Should the melted chocolate not be sufficiently fluid,
add some neutral oil. Mix everything well so that
the chocolate becomes more fluid.
Note:
You can fill one side of the chocolate fountain with
white chocolate and the other side with darker
chocolate.
Note:
In specialist shops it is possible to buy chocolate
especially manufactured for chocolate fountains.
This chocolate contains the ideal proportions of cacao
and cacao butter, thus ensuring the best possible flow
characteristics.
Note:
If you are intending to fill only one side of the
chocolate fountain with chocolate, remove the
screw-conveyor 5 on the side not in use. This will
reduce the running noise level from the chocolate
fountain.
4. Place the function switch w at the position
“
” for approx. 3 minutes to pre-heat the
bowl 6 for the liquid chocolate.
5. After the bowl 6 has warmed up, pour in the
liquid chocolate. You could use the spatula 8
to help you do this.
6. Place the function switch w at the position
“
”. The screw-conveyors 5 start to turn
and, after a short time, the chocolate flows over
the apex 1 and the cascades 2/3 then back
into the bowl 6.

” when the chocolate is more
fluid. If need be, add some cooking oil.
Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning
agents to clean the appliance. The surfaces would
be irreparably damaged.
7. You can now, subject to taste, dip fresh fruit,
dried fruit, biscuits, nuts or other foodstuffs in the
liquid chocolate or hold them under the flowing
chocolate.
Note:
To cover soft foodstuffs with chocolate, it is
a good idea to use the supplied plastic skewers 9.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you pour
the remaining chocolate into the toilet or into the
drains. That would lead to blockages.
Important
Ensure that firm foods do not fall into the chocolate
fountain, as they could block the screw-conveyors 5.
The motor could become irreparably damaged.
1. Carefully remove the apex 1, the cascades
2/3, the tower base 4 and the feed screws
5. These parts are suitable for cleaning in a
dishwasher.
8. When you want to take the chocolate fountain
out of use, position the function switch w at “O”.
Let it cool down to a level where the chocolate is
still somewhat soft, thus allowing it to be more easily
removed.
2. Wipe as much chocolate off of them as possible
with a paper towel.
3. Put these parts into a dishwasher. When clea-
ning them in a dishwasher ensure that these
plastic parts cannot become jammed. If they are,
they could become misshapen!
Note:
For hygienic reasons the chocolate should only
be used once, as microbes could form in it.
When the chocolate has cooled and solidified after
use, do not melt it for a second time, instead, dispo-
se of it.
Attention!
NEVER submerse the base 7 in water or other
liquids. The appliance could also be irreparably
damaged!
5. Wipe the bowl 6 with a moist cloth and remove
all chocolate remnants.

6. Fill the bowl 6 with hot water and a mild deter-
gent and let it stand for about an hour. Then
soak up the water and chocolate residues with a
dishcloth. Clean difficult to reach places with the
cleaning brush e. Afterwards, rinse or wipe the
bowl 6 with clean water so as to remove all tra-
ces of the detergent.
