I don't have this exact one, but I do have something similar. The chocolate tastes the same if add just a little vegetable oil. It keeps it from hardening up. the bottom should stay warm to keep the chocolate from hardening up as well. At least mine does, but that site doesn't say it does.



if your chocolate is still lumpy, then you need microwave it longer (or you can use a double boiler on the stove top.) you don't want to melt it completely in the microwave, as it will be too hot, but if it still has solid chunks that don't go away with stirring, you need to give it some more time. It won't be super thin, but it will be a complete liquid. Don't ever add water, cuz that will freeze the chocolate right up on you. the fountain will not make it thinner.



You don't have to only put chocolate in there. you could always try a liquid like punch, but the consitency may not be right for the auger inside. I'd just try it and see.
