How does a chocolate fountain work?

[LoungeLizard]

How is temperature controlled?

Does chocolate just flow from top to bottom or is it pumped back up somehow?

Do you have to empty the bottom tray to stop it overflowing? How d'you clean it?

A chocolate fountain is just like any other fountain. The chocolate starts off in the bottom and then pumped up through a tube in the middle. It flows over the edge and falls back to the bottom and repeats this process continuously. As far as cleaning it goes, i have no idea. No it never over flows because you add the chocolate to the bottom before you turn it on so if its not over filled to begin with , it cant possibly overflow.
