Using for the first time
• Before initial use, clean all parts with a damp cloth.
• Please do not be alarmed by the slight formation of smoke that may be
temporarily generated.
• Depending on the desired type of fondue preparation, add the required
amount of oil/broth, cheese or chocolate to the pot according to your
recipe instructions.
Always use the original pot for your fondue preparations.
• Only use types of fat/oil which are suitable for deepfrying.
• Place spatter guard onto the pot when using for meat fondue.
• Connect the appliance to the power supply. Adjust the temperature control
to the required setting.
• The appliance is equipped with a thermostat, that provides temperature
control and, at the same time, protection against overheating.
Tips
• Always use oven mitt when transporting the pot, as the handle may get
hot.
• When your fondue session is drawing to a close and the volume of oil/
broth, cheese or chocolate has considerably decreased, it is necessary to
readjust the temperature control to a lower setting.
• After use, disconnect the appliance from the power supply and allow it to
cool.
Setting the temperature control
• Low heat setting primarily for use with chocolate fondue.
• Low to Medium heat setting primarily for use with cheese fondue.
• High heat setting only for use with oil or broth for meat fondue.
CAUTION
Overheated or contaminated fat/oil may catch fire. If the fat/oil is overly
contaminated or overheated, first allow to cool, before replacing. Cooking
fat/oil residues are not domestic sewage. For reasons of environmental
protection, discard them along with your domestic waste.
Practical tips for your fondue preparation:
• Check the temperature of fat/oil by immersing a wooden skewer into the
pot. When bubbles start to form around it, the temperature required for
meat fondue has been reached.
• To boil broth or bouillon more quickly we recommend covering the pot. This
will also save energy.
• Do not submerge very "wet" food into the frying oil, as this can cause the
oil to "foam" and potentially overflow.
• Food for broth/oil fondue should be cut approximately of the same size to
ensure even and thorough cooking - approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch cubes).
• Many types of food can be coated before fondue frying - typical coatings
are batter or breadcrumbs.
• Do not overfill the pot.
