IMPORTANT INFORMATION
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. You may use an extension cord with care; however, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the fountain. The extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the counter or table where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. Do not allow extension cord to hang over the edge of the counter or table where it may be grabbed by small children or become entangled with the user or passers-by.

Instructions for Use
- Thoroughly wash and dry the center tube pieces and screw auger before first use. NEVER IMMERSE ELECTRICAL UNIT IN WATER. Wipe metal basin with a damp cloth to clean.
- Completely assemble the fountain following the illustrations below. Place on level surface such as a counter or table. Be sure you are near an outlet and away from any water source.
- Before operating, use the bubble level at the back of the base unit to ensure that the fountain is completely level. Use the three adjustable feet to achieve the correct leveling. Turn feet clockwise to raise and counter-clockwise to lower. Fountain must be completely level to function properly!
- Plug the chocolate fountain into a 120V outlet and move switch to the “Preheat” position. For best results, allow appliance to preheat for approximately 10 minutes. Do not operate in this mode for serving.
- While base unit is preheating, carefully melt 4 pounds of chocolate in microwave or double-boiler. Be sure that chocolate is completely melted and add the indicated amount of vegetable oil as the chocolate is being melted (see chart) based on the type of chocolate being used. Stir well. Ideal operation requires 4 pounds of chocolate.
- After fountain is preheated, pour the melted chocolate into the metal bowl and turn the knob to “Flow.”

Cleaning of Wilton Chocolate Pro Fountain 2104-9008
- Turn the fountain “Off” and unplug from wall outlet.
- Allow fountain to cool before cleaning, but do not allow any chocolate to harden in the bowl as this may damage the unit.
- Remove and disassemble the screw auger and center tube pieces. Place in dishwasher, top rack, or wash by hand in hot, soapy water.
- Dispose of any unused chocolate or confectionery coating while it is still melted and fluid. Allowing the candy to harden and then removing it can damage the fountain and make the appliance unusable. NEVER POUR MELTED CHOCOLATE OR CONFECTIONERY COATING DOWN THE DRAIN! Always dispose of excess chocolate in the garbage as melted chocolate can clog pipes and damage plumbing.
- Wipe inside of metal bowl with damp cloth or sponge, repeating until all food residue is removed and bowl is clean. Wipe the exterior of the bottom unit with a damp cloth or sponge and wipe dry. NEVER IMMERSE ELECTRICAL UNIT IN WATER.
- Store in a cool dry place until your next use.
Helpful Hints & Troubleshooting
- Any utensils that will be used when melting the chocolate or confectionery coating should be thoroughly dry before using.
- Never add water to chocolate or confectionery coating.
- Try to avoid dipping foods that are dry and crumbly as solid pieces may drop into fountain and cause the screw auger to jam.
- Follow instructions for melting chocolate.
- If flow is uneven or broken, be sure fountain is properly leveled and that the correct amount of melted chocolate or sauce is being used.
- If flow continues to be uneven, turn the knob to “Off” and allow unit to sit for about 30 seconds. Turn the knob back to “Flow.”
- If your fountain stops during operation, turn unit “Off,” unplug from wall outlet and check for clogs or obstructions.
