3.2. General instructions
- To avoid risks caused by unintentional resetting of the overheating protection, the appliance should not be operated using an external switching system, such as a timer plug, or connected to a power circuit that is regularly switched on and off by another system.
- If the mains cable for this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the Medion Service Centre or a suitably qualified person in order to avoid hazards.
- Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
3.3. Setting up the appliance
- Place the appliance on a heat-resistant, dry and level surface. If you use the appliance on wooden furniture, you should
place a protective cover under it to avoid damage to sensitive surfaces.
- Do not place the appliance on surfaces that can become hot (e.g. on hotplates, naked flames).
- Cooking appliances should be lifted by the handles (where applicable) and placed in a secure position to avoid spillage of hot liquids.
WARNING!
Ensure that the appliance does not come into contact with any other objects when in use. Maintain a distance of at least 10 cm from other objects. Do not place the appliance near easily flammable materials (curtains, drapes, paper, etc.). There is a risk of fire.
- During operation, do not place the appliance under wall cupboards or other objects that could hinder the free upwards flow of steam.

- Do not use this appliance near water contained in baths, sinks or other containers and do not expose it to rain or other moisture.
- Do not place the appliance near gas or electric heaters or in a hot oven.
3.4. Mains connection
- Connect the fondue set to a properly installed AC 220-240 V 50/60 Hz safety plug socket that has at least a 16 A fuse. Do not use extension cables and check before using the appliance that the voltage given on the appliance corresponds with the local mains voltage.
- Always remove the plug from the safety socket after use, before cleaning and at times when the appliance is unattended.
-
When disconnecting the appliance from the mains supply, always pull on the plug rather than on the cable.
-
Do not kink or crush the mains cable.
- Make sure that the power cable is not damaged and does not run underneath the appliance or over hot surfaces or sharp edges.
- Lay the cable so that nobody is able to step on it or trip over it.
- The mains cable should not come into contact with the appliance or any other hot objects when in use.

- Do not overfill the appliance. Note the level indicators inside the appliance. Do not exceed the MAX mark and do not use the appliance filled below the MIN mark.
- Use only the accessories supplied.
- Do not touch the hot fondue container.
3.5.1. Fondue with oil/fat
- Use fats/oils in the fondue which are specifically intended for frying. Do not use fat blends. Note the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.
- Replace the oil/fat after use because used oil/fat may ignite even at normal frying temperatures. In the event of a fire, pull the plug out immediately and smother the flame with the lid or a cloth. Never try to extinguish using water!
WARNING!
Never fight oil or fat fires with water!
There is a risk of explosion!
- Do not pour hot oil/fat into plastic containers and do not pour used oil/fat down the sink. The pipes can become clogged when the fat cools.
- Allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning it.
- Oil and fat require a very long time to cool down. Do not move the fondue set while the contents are hot. Do not touch
any of the appliance's hot surfaces and do not place your hands over the steam vents. There is a risk of burns.
Avoiding acrylamide
According to the latest research, excessive browning, especially in foods containing starch, may cause a health hazard due to the acrylamide formation in the crust.
- Do not brown food to an excessive degree.
- Remove burnt residues. Do not brown food to an excessive extent. Fry fresh potatoes and other carbohydrate-rich foods, such as cereal-based products, at a temperature no higher than 180^ to avoid the development of harmful acrylamide.
- Try to use the lowest possible temperatures and short cooking times. Potato products should be cooked to a golden yellow colour at most. The darker the chips or crisps, the higher the probability that they contain acrylamide.
- If you prepare chips yourself from raw potatoes, you should not store your potatoes under 10^ .
- Potatoes which have sprouted and potatoes with green tinges should not be eaten.
3.6. Faults
WARNING!
Live components. There is a risk of electric shock. Therefore please follow the instructions below:
- Always check the power cable and the appliance for damage before use.
- If you notice any damage, do not use the appliance under any circumstances. Immediately remove the plug from the mains socket in this case.
-
Have any defects repaired immediately by a specialist repair shop. If the mains cable for this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the Medion Service Centre or a suitably qualified person in order to avoid hazards.
-
Never try to open and/or repair an appliance component yourself.
3.7. Cleaning and care
WARNING!
Live components. There is a risk of electric shock. Never immerse the appliance in water or other liquids. – if the appliance does fall into liquid, under no circumstances should you attempt to touch it. Disconnect the mains plug first!
- Always pull out the plug before cleaning the appliance.
- To prevent burns, allow the appliance to cool down completely before cleaning.
- The fondue set and the accessories may not be washed in the dishwasher.
- Do not use aggressive chemical cleaners, scouring agents, hard sponges, etc. to clean the appliance.

Remove all the packing material from the fondue set.
Remove the appliance lid.
Clean all the parts as instructed in section "10. Cleaning and care" on page 80.
Place the appliance on a heat-resistant, dry and level surface.
- Connect the fondue to a properly installed and earthed safety socket. The fondue set is now ready for use.
7. Using the fondue set
You can use the fondue set to cook food in stock or fat or to prepare a cheese or chocolate fondue.
WARNING!
Do try to move or carry the fondue set while it is still hot or while it still contains hot fat, stock or other hot foods.
Remove the lid.
- Add fat, stock, chocolate or cheese to the fondue container as specified in the recipe.
When using fat or stock, the pot must be filled between the MIN and MAX markings.
Use the temperature control TEMP. (^) to set the required temperature (130°C to max. 190°C).
The operating LED on the temperature control TEMP. (^) lights up green.
- Heat the fat or stock initially at the highest temperature until the boiling point has been reached and then set the required temperature.
- When melting cheese or chocolate, select a lower temperature and stir the cheese or chocolate constantly to prevent it from sticking.
Place the fondue fork holder onto the fondue container.
Insert the fondue forks into the individual slots on the fondue container to prepare the food.
7.1. Using the fondue with fat
Ideally you should use pure vegetable fats, such as coconut or peanut oil, which can withstand high temperatures. Following the instructions on the packaging. Olive oil and peanut oil are low in unsaturated fatty acids and are only suitable for short frying times.
Vegetable oils containing highly unsaturated fatty acids (e.g. safflower or sunflower oil) and animal fats (e.g. lard, butter or suet) are not suitable.
WARNING!
Do not put wet or damp foods into the fondue set. Always be attentive when cooking in fat. Fat can spit and so there is a risk of burns.
WARNING!
Replace the oil/fat regularly because used oil/fat may ignite even at normal frying temperatures. In the event of a fire, pull the plug out immediately and smother the flame with the lid or a cloth. Never try to extinguish using water!
CAUTION!
Note the following instructions when using deep-frying fat to avoid health hazards:
-
Note the use-by date on the packaging. Never use the fat more than 3-4 times, and filter the fat after each use.
-
Never use fat which has gone bad and never mix it with fresh fat.
- Never mix different kinds of fat.
NOTICE
The following signs are indicative of fat which has gone bad:
-Brown colouring
Emission of smoke when heated to 180^
-Increasing viscosity of fat when heated
Unpleasant smell/taste of the fat and of the food
7.2. Preparing food for cooking in fat
Dry damp or wet food carefully.
Cut the food into small pieces (around 3 cm long) as this will reduce the cooking time and the food will absorb less fat.
- When frying potatoes, make sure that you do not cut them too small in order to minimise the formation of acrylamide.
Thaw frozen food prior to use.
Add salt and seasoning to food after frying and never over the fondue set.
8. After the fondue
Turn the temperature control TEMP. (^) anticlockwise to position 0.
Unplug the appliance from the mains socket.
- Allow the appliance and the remaining contents to cool down.
- Remove any fat or oil in order to clean the appliance: Remove solid fat with a wooden or plastic scraper.
-Deep-frying oil
Filter the remaining oil through a fine sieve and pour it into bottles. Store the bottles in a cool and dark place until you want to reuse the oil.
- Dispose of fat or oil which cannot be reused in a plastic bag in the household rubbish. Never pour fat that is still liquid into the toilet or down a drain. As the fat solidifies, it could block the pipes.
9. Protective devices
The appliance is equipped with a device to prevent overheating. The overheating cut-out is triggered when the appliance is heated up with nothing in it or with too little in it, for example, or if there is solidified fat inside and the temperature has been set too high.
If the overheating cut-out has been triggered, please contact the customer service department.
10. Cleaning and care
The appliance must be cleaned after each use.
