2. BEFORE THE FIRST USE

• Check if the main voltage of your appliance (230 Volt) corresponds with the mains voltage in your home.

• Remove all packaging and stickers.

• Clean all parts. The fondue pan, ring and forks can be cleaned in the dishwasher or in soapy hot water. The base with hidden heating element can NEVER be immersed in water. To clean this, use a clean damp cloth. Dry very carefully.

This fondue is equipped with an adjustable thermostat and therefore is suited for all kinds of fondue, namely classic meat fondue, cheese fondue, Chinese fondue, chocolate fondue...

• Remove the fondue ring

• Fill the pan with oil, cheese, stock or chocolate. Always fill the pan between MIN and MAX level. Suitable oils are: fondue oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil, corn oil. Always use oil that is suited for high temperatures and change the oil after every fondue.

• Put the fondue ring back

• Only insert the plug now. NEVER plug the appliance in before the pan is filled as described here above.

• Now turn the thermostat on the desired temperature: ➔ Traditional and Chinese fondue: maximum ➔ Cheese or chocolate fondue: start on medium position Remark: the content may not bubble or boil. In that case, immediately turn the thermostat lower. Especially cheese and chocolate have to be heated slowly to avoid boiling over or burning. Stir firmly once in a while to get a smooth mixture. Should you notice the temperature is not high enough, you can turn up the heat with the thermostat.

• We advise you heat up the fondue while you make all the preparations.18

• The control lamp is illuminated as long as the desired temperature is not reached. As soon as the desired temperature is reached the control lamp will be turned off. You now can fondue. Remark: during the use of the appliance the control lamp will turn on and off all the time. This means the thermostat works correctly.

• Prick the desired ingredients on the fondue forks and insert them into the fondue pan. Carefully watch them to make sure they do not burn or do not overcook. Do not scratch the pan with the fondue forks; this might damage the fondue pan.

• As soon as all ingredients are ready, remove them from the pan. After stopping completely, turn the thermostat as low as possible and remove the plug from the socket.

• First let the appliance cool down completely.

• Then pour the oil or the stock. For cheese and chocolate fondue, you’d best first remove rests of cheese or chocolate with kitchen paper.

• In case of persistent rests, let the fondue pan soak with hot soapy water.

• You can clean the pan, as well as the forks and the ring in the dishwasher, or by hand. Do not use abrasive sponges or products.

• NEVER IMMERSE the appliance, the power cord or the plug in water or any other liquid. Clean the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth and dry it with a clean towel.
