Features of ‘Choccy’ the
Chocolate Fountain
3 tier stainless steel chocolate tower
The chocolate fountain has been specially
designed for 3 levels of chocolate flow. Turn
the dial to 'heat and rotate' for a 3 tiered
chocolate founatin flow.
Plastic screw
The plastic screw rotates inside the tower to
distribute the chocolate flow. Chocolate is
moved from the base and cycled through the
screw, then distributed back at the top of the
fountain.
Indicator light
The light will glow on when the dial is
switched to the heat and the heat/rotate
function.
Adjustable feet
The adjustable feet ensure that there is
always an even flow of chocolate. Adjustable
for every surface.
2
Control settings
Heat
Turn the 'heat' setting on prior to adding
the liquid chocolate. This warms the base
ensuring that warm chocolate does not 'set'
to the base.
Heat/rotate
Turn to 'heat/rotate' to see a decadent,
delicious flow of chocolate flow over 3 levels.

Assembly Instructions
1.Before using the chocolate fountain for
the first time, ensure that all packaging
materials are removed from all parts.
2.Wipe out the base using a warm cloth, and
dry well before use. Wash plastic screw and
tower in warm soapy water; dry well before
use.
3.Screw the 3 adjustable feet onto the base
of the chocolate fountain. These can be
adjusted for every surface to ensure there
is always an even flow of chocolate.
4.Once adjustable feet have been screwed on
the base, turn base of chocolate fountain
upright to sit on the bench top. Place the
chocolate tower into the middle of the base
of the chocolate fountain – ensuring that it

Using your 'Choccy' Chocolate
Fountain
1.Turn Choccy to the ‘off’ dial setting.
5.Pour the melted chocolate mixture into
the base of the fountain and switch the
dial to ‘heat and rotate’ to start the
chocolate fountain flow.
2.Plug the unit into a 230-240 volt AC
power outlet and switch the power on.
Note: Place choccy on a flat level bench.
Adjust feet if surface is not level.
Note: To operate the chocolate fountain,
the chocolate must always be in liquid
form.
3.Turn the dial to the ‘warm’ function to
allow the base to warm up for 5 minutes.
6.Allow the chocolate fountain to flow for at
least 5 minutes before adding extra oil or
adjusting feet.
4.Melt chocolate according to directions on
page 7.
Note: If the mixture is not flowing correctly
see troubleshooting on page 9.
Do not leave chocolate in the fountain
overnight in the 'warm' setting. This setting
is not a high enough temperature to keep the
chocolate from hardening.

Chocolate Measurements &
Melting tips
Recommended quantities for Choccy are as
follows:
1 kg chocolate melts and ¾ cup canola oil
Stove top melting method
Combine chocolate and oil in a heat proof
bowl. Place bowl over a saucepan of
simmering water.
We recommend using good quality chocolate
melts. Other chocolates that are high in
cocoa solids work well also.
Note: Chocolate varies in quality; the
recommended oil quantities may need to be
adjusted to make the chocolate flow correctly.
Canola oil quantities can vary from 125ml to
250ml.
Note: Water should not touch base of bowl.
Stir chocolate and oil until chocolate mixture
has completely melted and is smooth and
warm.
Microwave melting method
Note: Please allow for extra chocolate top ups
if using with lots of people.
Combine chocolate and oil in a heat proof
bowl. Heat in microwave on medium/low for 3
minutes. Stir chocolate mixture and heat for
a further 1 minute. Repeat, until chocolate
mixture has completely melted and is smooth
and warm.
Note: DO NOT overheat chocolate. This will
cause the chocolate to seize and harden. If
this occurs chocolate must be thrown away.
