Switching on/off

The appliance is operated by a thermostat.

The appliance is switched off when the thermostat is in the

"O" 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.

i 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.

Operation

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

1. Place the fondue equipment on the heating stand.
2. Fill the pot with fat or oil (min. 0.7 l to max. 1.2 l). Place the equipment onto the fondue pot.
3. Turn the thermostat to "O".
4. Only connect the machine to a properly installed safety socket.
5. Turn the device to the medium temperature range and heat up the oil for some time.

i NOTE:

The illumination around the thermostat indicates heating of the hotplate. 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.

1. 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 8 minutes, i.e. the smaller the pieces of meat or other food are, the faster they are cooked.
2. 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 (O) 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.
