Proper cleaning of your Nostalgia CFF986 Chocolate Fondue Fountain is key to keeping it running smoothly and extending its life. Here's a simple guide:

1. Safety First: Always unplug the unit and let it cool completely before you begin cleaning.
2. Disassembly: Once cool, carefully remove the tower and auger from the base.
3. Chocolate Removal: Wipe off any excess chocolate from the tower and auger using paper towels.
4. Washing: Wash the tower and auger in warm, soapy water. Rinse them thoroughly and let them dry completely before putting them back together.
5. Base Cleaning: Pour out as much remaining chocolate from the bowl as possible. Use a non-abrasive, damp sponge or cloth to wipe down the rest of the unit, including the base. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the finish.
6. Drying: Dry the entire unit with a non-abrasive towel.
7. Chocolate Disposal: Never pour excess or leftover chocolate down the drain. Instead, dispose of it in a plastic bag or disposable container and throw it in the trash.

By following these steps after each use, you'll help ensure your Nostalgia CFF986 Chocolate Fondue Fountain provides many years of fondue fun!
