This guide will show you how to safely replace the base bowl from a Nostalgia Chocolate Fondue Fountain (model number CFF965). Replacing the base bowl should be done if it is damaged with cracks, chips, scratches, warping, or if it loses non-stick properties.
Before beginning the replacement process, make sure that your device is unplugged and clean from any chocolate or any other food. No special skills are required for this project.
