• This appliance is not a toy. Do not let children use this appliance. Close supervision is necessary when any kitchen appliance is used by or near children.
• To prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, do not put the cord, plug, or appliance in or near water or other liquids. The Chocolate Fountain is NOT dishwasher safe.
• Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of tables or counters.
• Refrain from using attachments that are not recommended by the appliance manufacturer, as this may result in fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
• Unplug the appliance before assembly/disassembly, moving, cleaning, storage, and when not in use. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
• Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord (damaged charging cable), damaged plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, is dropped, or is damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
• For maintenance other than cleaning, please contact StoreBound directly at 1-800-898-6970 Monday – Friday or by email at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).
• StoreBound shall not accept liability for damages caused by improper use of the appliance.
• Improper use of the appliance can result in property damage or even personal injury.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not completely fit in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
• A short power supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounded 3-wire cord. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Parts & Features

Assembling the chocolate fountain

BEFORE ASSEMBLING:

• Remove all packaging materials.
• Wipe the accessories with a soft, damp cloth, and wipe dry.
• Before first use, turn the Control Knob to the Heated Flow setting and let it run for approximately 15–30 minutes.
• Note: When the unit is heated for the first time, there might be a faint odor. This is due to manufacturing residues. Please ensure proper ventilation while the unit is in use.

1. Place the Tube Mount into the three pins on the Melting Bowl (photo A). Insert the Inner Spiral Tube into the Motor Shaft located in the middle of the Bowl (photo B).
2. Insert the Bottom Melting Tube, Middle Melting Tube, and Top Melting Tube over the Inner Spiral Tube. Press down until it securely clicks into place (photo C).
3. Set the Chocolate Fountain on a flat, stable surface and plug it in.
4. Test Run: Turn the Control Switch to the “Flow” setting to start the rotation of the Inner Spiral Tube (photo D). If the Inner Spiral Tube does not rotate, repeat Step 2 to ensure it is properly assembled in the bowl. Once done, turn the Control Knob to OFF.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to place accessories on the Base or remove them from the Base while the motor is running.

MELTING CHOCOLATE

CAUTION: The Melting Bowl may become hot during heating. To prevent personal injury, do not touch the Melting Bowl while it is in use.

To melt chocolate in the Fountain, set the Control Knob to the “Melt” setting. Fill the bowl with the desired amount of hard chocolate cut into small pieces, not exceeding 10 ounces. Add vegetable oil or cream as needed to achieve the desired consistency. Once all the chocolate is fully melted, switch the Fountain to “Heated Flow” mode to begin the chocolate flow for dipping. Do not enter “Flow” mode if not all the chocolate is fully melted and at the desired consistency. Once the chocolate is flowing, use fondue forks or wooden skewers to dip fruits, marshmallows, cookies, mini pancakes, or pieces of cake into the melted chocolate.

Cleaning & Maintenance

• CAUTION: The Melting Bowl may become hot during heating. To prevent personal injury, do not touch the Melting Bowl while it is in use.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or clean the Fountain until it has cooled completely.
• Once cool, carefully remove and disassemble the Tube and Spiral components of the Fountain and wipe them with paper towels to remove remaining chocolate. Hand wash the Tube and Spiral components in warm soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Before attempting to clean the Melting Bowl, carefully pour out as much remaining chocolate from the Bowl as possible. Do not pour out excess or leftover chocolate down the drain or in the toilet. Pour it into a plastic bag or disposable container, then into the garbage.
• To clean the Melting Bowl, use a damp sponge or cloth with warm soapy water to wipe clean.
• To clean the outside of the Fountain, use a damp sponge or cloth and then wipe dry with a towel.
• CAUTION: Do not clean or disassemble the unit until it has completely cooled. Allow the entire Fountain to cool completely before disassembling and cleaning.
