6. Use the fondue forks packaged with the Fondue Pot to spear foods for dipping
or cooking. To prevent scratching of the non-stick surface, use care when
placing or swirling forks in pot. The handles of the forks feature different colored
ends to help the user identify their own fork.
7. After serving, turn the heat control to “OFF” and unplug the cord from the
electrical outlet. Allow the Fondue Pot and heat control to cool before cleaning.
If the Fondue Pot must be moved before it has cooled, first remove the heat
control using caution, as portions of the heat control may be hot. Use hot pads
to move the Fondue Pot as the handles may be warm.

Clean After Each Use:
To keep the Fondue Pot looking attractive and cooking
efficiently, clean it thoroughtly after each use.
Remove Heat Control:
With the heat control set at “OFF,” unplug the cord from the
electrical outlet and allow to cool. If the heat control must be removed prior to
cooling, remove the heat control using caution, as portions of the heat control may
be hot.
Let The Fondue Pot Cool By Itself -
After using the Fondue Pot, always allow it to
cool completely by itself. Do not hasten cooling by adding cold water or immersing
in water when hot. Although made of thick aluminum, a sudden change in
temperature may cause the metal to warp. Always allow hot oil or liquid to cool
completely before removing from the Fondue Pot.
In-the-Sink Cleaning
1. Clean the non-stick interior and outside of the Fondue Pot in warm, soapy water
using a non-metal cleaning pad. A dishcloth or sponge may give the non-stick
surface a clean look, but will not remove the tiny food particles that can settle
into the finish. Do not use metal scouring pads or harsh scouring cleansers on
the nonstick surface or outside of the pot. If staining occurs on the outside of
the pot, scour with a non-abrasive cleanser.
2. Wash fondue forks, fork ring and glass cover, if included, in warm, soapy water
with a dishcloth or sponge, rinse and dry thoroughly. The ends of the forks are
sharp, exercise care when washing them. Do not use any abrasive metal
scouring pads or cleansers on the glass cover or fork ring as damage can occur.
After washing, rinse and dry thoroughly. Note: Do not use abrasive scouring
pads or cleansers on glass cover as scratching can occur. Check the Fondue
Pot for loose handles after cleaning. Retighten loose screws immediately with
the appropriate screwdriver, but do not over tighten. Over tightening can result
in stripping of screws or cracking of handles and handle failure.
