OPERATION - Before first use

1. Remove the packaging.
2. Thoroughly clean the device with a warm, damp cloth in order to remove any manufacturing residue (see "Cleaning and maintenance").

OPERATION - Use

With this appliance you can dip small food products in melted chocolate, for example to make a nice dessert. You can use the supplied forks or skewers for that. The appliance is also ideal as a smelter for chocolate and candy melts when decorating cupcakes, cakepops, donuts, cakes, etc.

You can use various types and flavours of chocolate with this chocolate melting pot:

• liquid chocolate (ready-to-use);
• chocolate callets (liquefy by heating);
• chocolate bars (break them into pieces first and liquefy them by heating).

OPERATION - Melting chocolate

1. Put the appliance on a flat surface and fill the bowl (4) with the desired amount of chocolate
2. Set the switch (1) to position 'I' (see figure 2). The indication light (2) now illuminates.
3. Allow the chocolate to melt and use the spatula (5) to stir it to a smooth substance.

ATTENTION:

- When you wish to keep the chocolate liquified and warm after it's been melted, set the switch to position 'II' (see figure 2).

Position 0: Off

Position I: Melt

Position II: Keep warm

OPERATION - Fondue

You can use the forks (7) and/or skewers (6) to dip almost anything into the warm chocolate. For example: fruit, long fingers, small pancakes or biscuits? Everything tastes delicious when it's covered in a layer of warm chocolate.

1. Set the switch, when the chocolate has already been melted, to position 'II.'
2. If necessary, prick the food onto a fork or skewer first. You will then avoid the risk of burning yourself.
3. Dip the food into the liquid chocolate.

ATTENTION:

• To liquify the chocolate more easily, you can add 50 ml of unwhipped cream to 200 grams of chocolate.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Thoroughly clean the appliance and the separate components after use.

1. Turn off the motor and the heating element and remove the plug from the plugsocket.
2. Cleaning the chocolate melting pot:

a. Allow the chocolate melting pot to cool down, but not so much that the chocolate solidifies. The chocolate is easier to remove whilst it is still liquid.

b. Thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the bowl with hot water to which a little washing-up liquid has been added. Do NOT use scourers. Then dry them thoroughly.

1. Clean the housing of the appliance with a damp cloth, if necessary with an additional couple of drops of washing-up liquid. After cleaning, dry the unit thoroughly.

ATTENTION:

• Use an oven mitt when taking out the bowl when it is still warm.
- Do not save any leftover chocolate for later use.
- Verify that the appliance is not connected to the power supply when you clean it.
- Never use corrosive or scouring cleaning agents or sharp objects (such as knives or hard brushes) to clean the appliance.
