Getting ready to eat
Place the Fountain on a flat and stable surface within reach of a mains supply or extension
lead. The Fountain must be completely level to work properly so adjust the small feet on the
base as you need to.
PreParing the chocolate
Now it’s time to get the chocolate ready. It needs to be melted before you place it in the
Fountain bowl. The quickest and simplest way to do this is in a microwave but you can
also melt your chocolate on the hob. A maximum 800g and minimum 400g of chocolate is
recommended for use in the Mini Party fountain to produce the best cascading effects.
This is a generous serving for up to 6 people.
Microwave
If you’re using Giles & Posner Luxury Fondue Chocolate in microwaveable pouches, simply
follow the instructions on the pack.
If you’re using another brand of chocolate, break it into pieces and place it in a bowl in
the microwave. Heat it for 1 minute on Medium power (800W oven) and then stir. Return
it to the microwave for a further minute and then check again. The chocolate must be
completely melted and of a thin consistency that flows easily off a spoon. You will also need
to add some vegetable oil to your chosen chocolate to improve its flowing quality. See page
4 for details.
hob
Place the chocolate in a heat-resistant bowl. Stand the bowl in a large saucepan of hot
water on the hob over a low heat. Stir the chocolate constantly until it’s completely melted,
taking care not to let it stick or burn.
Again, you’ll need to add some vegetable oil. Quantities are detailed on page 4.
It’s important not to add water or any water-based liquids to your chocolate as this will
make it harden and stop the flow.
adding the chocolate to your Fountain
Connect the mains adaptor jet to the fountain base and adaptor to a
power source. Get your choice of dipping foods ready around the base.
Pour your melted chocolate into the centre of the Fountain bowl at
the bottom of the tier system. Switch ON the chocolate fountain.
The spiral drive inside will draw the chocolate up to the top –
and then the enticing cascade will start to flow over the tiers with
its irresistable warm chocolate aroma.
