Special Safety Instructions for this Device

During operation the temperature of the exposed surfaces may be very hot.

WARNING: Risk of fire!

• Maintain a sufficient safety gap (30 cm) to highly inflammable objects such as furniture, curtains etc.
• Never add water to the oil! There is a risk of explosion or splattering hot liquids.
• Oil and fat may burn if overheated. Proceed with care. Do not forget to switch off the appliance after use!

• Should the appliance catch fire, never try to extinguish the flames with water. Smother the flames with a damp cloth.

• Do not move or carry the hot appliance when in use! Hot liquids, hot steam and splattering oil may escape.

• Remember that the hot parts also remain hot long after use.
• Allow the appliance to cool before putting it away.
• The fondue set is only designed for domestic use. It is not designed for similar areas of use such as e.g.

  • Rotating base with 6 sauce vessels of 50 ml each
  • 8 fondue forks
• Separate stable heating base with robust hotplate and continuously adjustable thermostat
• Control lamp

Switching on/off

The appliance is operated by a thermostat.

The appliance is switched off when the thermostat is in the MIN position.

Before Initial Use

• Before using the wok for the first time, please clean it as described under "Cleaning and Care".
• To remove the protective coating on the hotplate, operate the appliance for 5 minutes without the fondue pot. Set the thermostat to MAX.

NOTE:

A small amount of smoke is normal. Please ensure that there is adequate ventilation.

Useful hints for use

• Oil and fat must be heatable to very high temperatures. Use high quality frying oil or frying grease. Do not use margarine, olive oil or butter: they are not fit for frying, because they start to smoke already at low temperatures.
  • We recommend the use of liquid frying oil.

CAUTION:

... if you would like to use fat!

• If you use fat, please divide it up into small pieces.
- Turn the thermostat to a low temperature and add the pieces slowly.
- If the fat has melted and the required oil level is reached, you can set the desired temperature on the thermostat. Do not exceed the MAX mark!

CAUTION:

Heavy build up of foam!

• Never mix oils and fats. The liquid may overflow.
- Rub wet food dry with a cloth. Damp food causes a heavy build up of foam which is serious cases may cause the oil/fat to overflow.

WARNING:

Contaminated oil/fat can be highly inflammable!

• Always remove any food which may remain in the oil/fat.
- Replace the oil/fat regularly.

Rotating Base

1. Fold out the individual holders so that they are horizontal. The round distance pieces face downwards and subsequently lie on the heating stand.

2. Position the holder with the movable "lug" vertical. Clamp the fixed "lug" on the rotating base (see Fig.) to one side under the hotplate.

3. Pull the rotating base over the hot-plate. Clamp the holder with the movable "lug" facing outwards.

After use you can save space when you store the rotating basis by folding the holders back inwards.

Operation

Please select a suitable non-slip base on which to place your fondue.

1. Insert the rotating base as described above. Then insert the sauce vessels into the holders.
2. Place the fondue equipment on the heating stand.
3. Fill the pot with fat or oil (min. 0.5 l to max. 1.0 l). Place the equipment onto the fondue pot.
4. Turn the thermostat to MIN.
5. Only connect the machine to a properly installed 230 V\~, 50 Hz safety socket.
6. Turn the device to the medium temperature range and heat up the oil for some time.

NOTE:

The control lamp indicates that the hotplate is warming up. During use it switches on and off. This is normal and indicates that the temperature is thermostatically controlled and maintained.

1. With a wooden stick (e.g. shashlik spit or wooden cooking spoon) you can test whether the correct temperature has been reached. When this is inserted into the oil, small air bubbles should rise up along the wooden stick. Alternatively, you can place a piece of the food to be fried into the hot oil.
2. Place the pieces of meat on the fondue forks and then dip them into the oil. Depending on the size of the meat pieces, the cooking process takes between 4 and 7 minutes, i.e. the smaller the pieces of meat or other food are, the faster they are cooked.
3. Adjust the temperature with the regulator such that the oil simmers.
