Chocolate temperature may be affected by the addition of chocolate or by environmental
factors, such as operating the fountain in a cold area. In such conditions the fountain
temperature may need to be adjusted accordingly.

Generally, if White or Milk chocolate becomes too thick, decrease the temperature. If
Dark chocolate becomes too thick, increase the temperature. Scrape sitting chocolate
from the bottom of the basin and stir frequently throughout event.

Cleaning Your Sephra Chocolate Fountain:

stabilizer with a spatula. Remove crown and stabilizer and place them directly
in the sink.

2. Pull the auger out of the cylinder by its knob, scraping the excess chocolate
