Q: How often should I service my CF23R Cortez Chocolate Fountain?
A: To keep your CF23R Cortez operating smoothly, it should be serviced every 1500 hours of use or at least once a year, whichever comes first. Regular servicing is crucial for maintaining performance and ensuring your warranty remains valid. Be sure to inspect the spindle regularly; it should turn freely by hand. If it feels stiff or you notice signs of chocolate leaking into the motor compartment, stop using the fountain and arrange for servicing.
Q: What happens if I don’t service my chocolate fountain?
A: Neglecting regular servicing can lead to severe issues, such as the bearings and spindle seizing up. This can cause the motor to overheat and potentially burn out, leading to costly repairs. Additionally, worn seals may fail, allowing chocolate to leak into the motor compartment and damage internal components. Both problems could invalidate your warranty.
Q: Is the CF23R Cortez dishwasher safe?
A: The tier set can be washed in a dishwasher. However, the base should never be submerged in water; it should only be wiped clean with a damp cloth. The removable bowl must be washed by hand in the sink to prevent damage to the seals and bearings. Never put the bowl in a dishwasher, as the high heat and steam can cause premature wear and rust.
Q: What kind of chocolate should I use in my Cortez fountain?
A: For optimal performance, use high-quality chocolate specifically designed for fountains. Sephra’s couverture chocolate is a great choice as it has the perfect fluidity and doesn’t require additional oils for melting. Using standard chocolate may clog the fountain or affect the flow.
Q: Can the Cortez fountain be used outdoors?
A: Yes, the CF23R Cortez can be used outdoors, but it’s highly recommended to use a Wind / Sneeze Guard for added protection. This guard keeps your chocolate safe from wind, dust, and contaminants while ensuring a clean and enjoyable experience for guests.
Q: Does the CF23R Cortez come with a warranty?
A: Yes, the CF23R Cortez comes with a 5-Year Limited Warranty, provided that the fountain is properly maintained and serviced as required. Failing to service the fountain may result in the warranty becoming void.
Q: How long can a chocolate fountain run for?
A: A chocolate fountain, like the Sephra CF23R Cortez, can run continuously for up to 24 hours, depending on the event's needs and proper maintenance. The key to a long running time is to ensure the fountain has enough chocolate, is kept at the correct temperature, and that the motor and components are not overheating. Regularly monitoring the fountain during extended use will help prevent any issues. Always refer to your fountain’s manual for specific guidelines and ensure proper cleaning and maintenance after each use to preserve its longevity.
Q: Can chocolate be reused in a chocolate fountain?
A: While it’s technically possible to reuse chocolate from a fountain, it is generally not recommended. During events, fragments of dipping foods often end up in the chocolate, contaminating it and making it less sanitary for future use. If the chocolate has been kept clean and free from food particles, it may be strained, cooled, and reused. However, for health and quality reasons, it’s best to discard the chocolate after an event, especially if there’s any chance it has been contaminated. Always prioritise safety and cleanliness when considering reusing chocolate.
Q: Can I use something other than chocolate in the fountain?
A: Absolutely! Chocolate fountains aren’t limited to chocolate alone; they can be used with a variety of sweet and savoury sauces, as long as the consistency is thin enough to flow smoothly. Popular sweet alternatives include warm fruit coulis, caramel, or butterscotch, which pair wonderfully with fruit, biscuits, or marshmallows for dipping. On the savoury side, options like melted cheese, barbecue sauce, or sweet chilli sauce are perfect for serving with cooked meats, seafood, raw or cooked vegetables, or bread pieces. Just make sure to strain and keep sauces warm enough to maintain proper flow, and always thoroughly clean the fountain after using non-chocolate substances to prevent residue build-up.
Q: What is an auger in a chocolate fountain?
A: An auger in a chocolate fountain is a spiral-shaped screw mechanism that transports warm chocolate from the basin at the base to the top of the fountain. As the auger rotates, it pushes the melted chocolate upwards through a central cylinder, allowing it to cascade down the tiers, creating the signature flowing chocolate effect. This system has a significant advantage over traditional pump mechanisms: it minimises the risk of clogging, even with thicker chocolate, and simplifies the cleanup process. By eliminating the need for a pump, the auger design makes chocolate fountains more reliable and easier to maintain.
