MEDIUM CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN INSTRUCTIONS

Serves up to 75

Thank you for renting your chocolate fountain from All Seasons Rent All.

Please take the time to read these instructions so you may enjoy your event to the fullest.

Getting Started:

This fountain holds up to 7lbs of chocolate and needs 5lbs of chocolate to start & to maintain “curtain”

1. Ensure the fountain is room temperature before use. If tiers, auger, and tube are not at room temperature, run them under hot water to warm them up. (If the fountain is cold, the chocolate will harden even if the heater is on.)
2. Check the fountain.

• Ensure the fountain vent holes and bottom of the base housing are not covered.
• Ensure that the fountain basin (bowl) is securely tightened. To do this place the auger with the stabilizer (black plastic piece) into the cylinder and turn it clockwise. Check that it is locked in place over the center square drive shaft and then place the crown on top of the cylinder.

3. Preheat the basin of the fountain. Move the button to the “PREHEAT” position and ensure the thermostat is set to “5”. Preheat for 5 minutes prior to adding pre-melted chocolate to the basin. Turn the heat off before adding chocolate to the basin. DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORDS WITH THE FOUNTAIN WHEN HEAT IS ON!
4. Melt the chocolate. Place the bag of chocolate in the microwave to pre-melt it. Microwave on MEDIUM power for 60-second intervals, taking the chocolate out to knead in between, until the chocolate is completely liquid. The chocolate will stay liquid at room temperature for approximately 2 hours. (Chocolate must be purchased from All Seasons Rent All to avoid any strain on the auger and motor.
5. Add chocolate & start the fountain. Pour melted chocolate into the fountain basin and then move button to “START” position to engage the auger. There may be a brief knocking noise which will stop once the entire auger is coated in chocolate.

During Use:

• More chocolate can be added by pouring pre-melted chocolate into the basin while the auger is running.
• if the chocolate starts to cool or get a “skin” on top, turn the heat back on for no more than 5 minutes, or until the chocolate is melted again. DO NOT LEAVE HEAT ON FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES AT A TIME!

Warning: Do not turn off the auger for more than one minute at a time. Hardened chocolate could damage the auger or motor.

After Use:

Once you are finished use a rubber spatula to remove as much excess chocolate from the basin as possible and then cover the fountain with the included plastic bag. Failure to remove the leftover chocolate from fountain will result in an additional cleaning fee.

• Avoid pouring chocolate down the drain, as it may clog your sink.
• Do not immerse the fountain in water—doing so can damage the equipment.
• Do not remove the auger or take apart the fountain to clean.

For your convenience, All Seasons Rent All will handle the cleaning of the fountain.
