Product Information
Full details
The Andrew James Chocolate Fountain is designed for home entertainers, party hosts, and dessert lovers who want to create a professional-style cascading chocolate display for guests. It offers the key benefit of independent heating and motor controls, ensuring your chocolate stays at the ideal consistency throughout your event. The primary caveat is that it requires a significant amount of pre-melted chocolate to function properly, so users should be prepared to prep ingredients on a stove or in a microwave before filling the basin.

FAQs
What type of chocolate should I use?
High-quality chocolate with a higher cocoa butter content works best. If using standard bars, you may need to stir in a small amount of vegetable oil to achieve the right flow.
Can I leave the fountain on for the whole party?
Yes, but you should monitor the chocolate levels and stir occasionally if the fountain is left on for extended periods to prevent burning.
How do I clean the fountain?
Allow the unit to cool, disassemble the tiers and auger, and wash them with warm, soapy water. Wipe the base with a damp cloth.
Can I use chocolate chips?
Yes, but ensure they are completely melted and smooth before pouring them into the base basin.
Is the unit dishwasher safe?
It is recommended to hand wash the tiers and auger to prevent damage to the finish. The motor base is never dishwasher safe.
Troubleshooting
Chocolate is not flowing smoothly
Check that the chocolate has enough cocoa butter or oil to be fluid, and ensure the fountain is perfectly level using the adjustable feet.
The fountain is making a loud noise
Check that the auger is properly seated in the center and that no debris or hardened chocolate is obstructing the base motor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: assemble the tiers carefully onto the base, ensuring they are seated securely. Always plug the unit into a standard wall outlet. For care, unplug the fountain and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Do not submerge the motor base in water; instead, wipe it clean with a damp cloth. The stainless steel tiers and auger can be washed in warm, soapy water. Avoid using abrasive sponges that may scratch the finish. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to ensure the longevity of the heating element.
