Introduction

This guide will show you how to safely disassemble the Nostalgia Chocolate Fondue Fountain (model number CFF965). After the disassembly process, you will be able to access the contents of the fountain’s base (the switch, motor, heating plate, and thermostat) in addition to the tower, auger, and bowl.

Before starting disassembly, make sure that your device is clean from any chocolate (or other food or liquid) and that it is unplugged. No special skills are needed for this project.
