After cooking and serving, turn heat control to “off” and unplug from electrical
outlet. Let fondue pot cool before removing heat control.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs and hot pads or oven mitts if
you lift or carry the fondue pot or cover when it is hot.
• Set cover on hot pad, trivet or other heat protective surface. Do not set hot cover
directly on the counter, table or other surface.
• Moving an appliance containing hot foods, liquids or oil is not recommended.
Extreme caution must be used when moving a Fondue containing oil.
• Always exercise caution when cooking food in hot oil.
• Never add water or any type of liquid such as wine or bouillon to oil as any
amount of liquid can cause eruption of the hot oil.
• Never place any type of cover onto Fondue Pot when heating oil or cooking
foods in oil.
• Be extremely cautious of steam when removing cover. Lift cover slowly directing
steam away from you.
• Do not set hot cover on cold or wet surface; let cover cool before placing in
water. Do not add frozen/cold foods or liquids into heated cooking pot. Sudden

ONTROL
The Quick Release™ Heat Control is designed to release from the Fondue Pot
easier than a standard heat control. This design meets Underwriter’s Laboratories
(UL) current safety standards. To position Quick Release™ control in place, make
sure it is set at OFF setting and place into connection area under one of the handles.
The magnet will draw control in place and you will hear it click when connected (See
photograph). Plug cord into electrical outlet. When finished using Fondue Pot, set
control at OFF setting, unplug cord from electrical outlet and allow to cool. If heat
control is removed while the Fondue Pot is still hot, use caution as portions of the
heat control may be hot. If the heat control is pulled off during use, immediately
unplug the cord set from the wall outlet. Use caution when reconnecting the heat
control, as portions of it may be hot. Never move Fondue Pot with heat control
attached as it can fall off and be damaged.
