Frequently Asked Questions - FD 3219 CLATRONIC

What is the recommended oil capacity for fondue?

It is recommended to use between 0.5 and 1.0 liters of oil. Fill the pot to the mark if indicated, or ensure that the food can be immersed without overflowing.

Can I use olive oil for fondue?

It is not recommended to use olive oil, butter or margarine as they smoke at low temperature. Prefer a frying oil or a vegetable oil of good quality.

How to set the ideal temperature?

Turn the thermostat progressively. To check the temperature, dip a wooden utensil into the oil; small bubbles should form. Then adjust the setting to maintain a slight simmer.

Are the forks and carousel dishwasher safe?

No, the wooden parts of the forks and carousel are not dishwasher safe. Wash them by hand with warm water.

How to clean the heating base?

Use a slightly damp cloth without detergent. Never immerse the base in water as it contains electrical components.

What to do if the oil catches fire?

Never use water to extinguish an oil flame. Cover with a damp cloth or use a lid to smother the fire.

Can I use the appliance outdoors?

No, the appliance is designed for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors.

What is the typical cooking time for meat?

Depending on the size of the pieces, allow approximately 4 to 7 minutes. The smaller the pieces, the faster the cooking.

How to store the carousel after use?

Fold the supports inward to collapse it compactly. This allows easy storage.

What to do before first use?

Clean the appliance as indicated in the manual. Then, run the heating base empty for about 10 minutes at MAX temperature to remove the protective coating. Ventilate the room well.

• The fondue set is only intended for domestic and not for professional use.
• Do not remove or carry the hot device when it is in use! Otherwise hot liquids, steam or oil may be spilled or given off!
• Do not pour together water and oil! Hot liquids may be spilled out!

CAUTION:

You should never mix fat and oils as the fondue pot could overflow.

WARNING:

Oils and fats may burn when overheated. Please be careful!

• Even the mixing of various types of oil and fat with one another is dangerous!
• This device is not suitable for open-air use!
- If the deep fat fryer should catch fi re, do not under any circumstances attempt to extinguish the fl ames with water. Suffocate the fl ames with a damp cloth.
- The device becomes extremely hot! The fondue pot should only be gripped by the handles! The metal parts by means of which the handles are attached to the pot can become very hot, as can the metal sections of the forks.

Scope of Supply and Equipment

• Fondue pot made of stainless steel with attachment holder for forks
• Rotating base with 6 sauce vessels of 50ml each
  • 8 fondue forks
• Separate stable heating base with robust hotplate and continuously adjustable thermostat
• Control lamp
• Cable take-up

Before Initial Use

Before using the wok for the first time, please clean it as described under „Cleaning and Care“.

CAUTION:

In order to remove the protective layer on the heating base you should operate the device on MAX for approx. 10 minutes without the fondue pot in place. Do not leave the device unsupervised when it is in use.

i NOTE:

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

Useful hints for use

1. Always remove the food remaining in the oil. Change the oil after using it 8-10 times.
2. Deep frying fat must be capable of being heated to 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.

WARNING:

Please note this important information if you intend 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. Once the fat has melted and the correct oil level is reached you can set the desired temperature on the thermostat. Rub dry humid foods with a cloth before frying.

Mains Lead

Unwind the required length of mains lead from the bottom section or the heating base.

Rotating Base

Close-up of a metallic cylindrical container with a black lid and metal clamped arms (no visible text or symbols)

Fold out the individual holders so that they are horizontal. The round distance pieces face downwards and subsequently lie on the heating stand. Clamp one of the „lugs“ (see illustration) on to one side of the rotating base

fi rst under the main base. Then pull the ring over the hot plate and clamp it underneath.

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

Initial Operation of the Fondue Set

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). The most suitable types of oil are frying oils or vegetable oil. Place the upper section on the fondue pot so that it is correctly positioned.

4. Only connect the machine to a properly installed 230 V, 50 Hz safety socket.

5. Switch on the device and set the highest level. Leave the oil to heat. The control lamp lights up and indicates that the device is switched on. 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. 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.

CAUTION:

Place the ingredients carefully into the hot oil. Care is required as you are frying in an open vessel and it is not possible to avoid oil splashes. Dry off the ingredients beforehand with a cloth.

Adjust the temperature with the regulator such that the oil simmers.

Switching Off

If you would like to stop the cooking process, turn the temperature control to the minimum setting (MIN) and remove the mains plug from the socket. Allow the frying oil a considerable time to cool down. Before continuing to use the full frying pot, please ensure that it is no longer at a dangerous temperature.

Mains Lead Take-up Device

Wind the mains lead up again on the underside of the heating stand.

Cleaning and care

• Before cleaning the machine always remove the mains plug and wait until the machine has cooled down.
• External stains can be removed with a moist cloth without using detergents.
• Remove the fat residues while they are still warm with a damp cloth or paper tissue.
• Wash the fondue pot, the attachment and accessories in the usual manner in the sink.

i NOTE:

Do not wash the fondue pot or fondue forks in the dishwasher as the wooden sections are not suitable for dishwasher use.

• Only clean the base with a lightly moistened cloth without using detergents. Do not place the base in water.
• Do not use strong detergents or solvents.
