Before Using The First Time:
With the heat control removed, wash the Fondue
Pot, forks, fork ring or glass cover (if included) in warm, soapy water. Exercise care
when washing the forks as the ends are sharp. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Note: Do
not use any abrasive scouring pads or cleansers on these parts.
Condition Non-Stick Interior:
The non-stick interior surface of the Fondue Pot
must be conditioned to ensure stick-free cooking. Lightly wipe a teaspoon of cooking
oil over the entire surface with paper toweling or a soft cloth. Allow a light film of oil
to remain on the surface. Do not use shortening, butter or margarine to condition the
non-stick surface. The Fondue Pot is now ready to use.
Note:
Do not strike utensils against cover rim. Glass cover may shatter as a result.
1. Place the Fondue Pot on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any
edge. Do not block airflow under the Fondue Pot. If the Fondue Pot is used on
a surface that is not heat-resistant, such as a varnished, veneer or plastic
surface, place the Fondue Pot on a heat resistant tray or board to protect the
surface below. Make sure the Fondue Pot rests level. Be sure hands are dry
when using the Fondue Pot. Your Fondue Pot comes with rubber feet. To
ensure proper operation and safety, make sure all feet are present and fully
clean before each use. Do not use if any feet are missing.
2. Attach the heat control to the Fondue Pot, making sure it is set to the “OFF”
setting. Plug the cord into a 120 volt, AC electrical outlet only.
3. Follow recipe as directed. If the recipe calls for preheating, the signal light on
the heat control will go out when the cooking temperature is reached. The
signal light will turn on and off to indicate that the proper temperature is being
maintained.
4. To prevent scratching of the non-stick coating, plastic, rubber or wooden tools
are recommended for stirring foods in the preparation of dessert or cheese
fondue. Do not use any sharp edged metal cooking tools on the non-stick
surface as scratching can occur.
5. If the fork ring is included, place on the top edge of the pot, making sure it is
secured in place. Use this to hold the forks in the slots while cooking. This is
especially handy when using oil to cook.
