You MUST mix oil (vegetable or canola) with the chocolate. The oil allows the chocolate to reach the smooth consistency for an even flow through the Chocolate Fountain. Please follow the table below for chocolate-to-oil ratios. For additional information see the CHOCOLATE HINTS AND TIPS section. TM PREPARING YOUR CHOCOLATE (CONT.) time will vary. Stir mixture frequently (every 15-30 seconds) as chocolate melts to avoid overheating and burning. The approximate melting time is 2 minutes for 8 oz. (1 cup) of chocolate. NOTE: Chocolate should be melted completely, and of a smooth consistency with no lumps before adding to the RivalTM Chocolate Fountain. CLEANING YOUR RIVALTM CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN The RivalTM Chocolate Fountain is easy to disassemble and clean. All parts, excluding the BASE, are dishwasher-safe. 1. Turn the CONTROL KNOB to OFF and unplug the power cord from the outlet. Remove the DRIP TRAY. 2. Twist the BOWL from the BASE. 3. Remove the TOWER from the BOWL. Slide the CAP, CANOPIES and GUARD off the TOWER. NOTE: You may want to use a paper towel to grip the TOWER while twisting off, as the chocolate mixture will make it difficult to grasp. 4. Pull the AUGER out of the BOWL. 5. Dispose of excess chocolate from the BOWL. 6. Rinse all parts to remove excess chocolate, dip, or dressing. 7. The DRIP TRAY, BOWL, AUGER, TOWER, CANOPIES, GUARD and CAP are all dishwasher-safe. To clean the skewers, wash with warm soapy water and use a non-abrasive cleaner. 8.
