HOW TO USE WARMING STAND
Before lighting the burner, place the warming stand in the location where you
will be serving the fondue on a heat resistant surface or in the wooden base
provided. Place in an area where there are no drafts, away from curtains or
other flammable items. Choose to work with the liquid alcohol or gel fuel. For
best results use alcohol fuel for delicate fondue sauces. However, gel fuel may
also be used. If the fondue is becoming hotter than desired it is okay to snuff
the flame and continue to fondue. Follow these steps to light the burner:
LIGHTING THE BURNER (see diagram on back)
Alcohol Fuel
1.
Open the burner by taking off the burner control and snuffer. Place the
liquid fuel dish inside the holder.
2.
Pour 3 ounces (85 g) of liquid alcohol into the fuel dish.
3.
Replace the burner cover, making certain that it is securely attached to
the burner holder by turning the top clockwise. Place burner holder in
the well area located in the centre of the fondue stand. Make sure it fits
securely.
4.
Touch a lit match to the top of the burner to ignite it. Do not use a lighter
or other ignition devices.
5.
Adjust the flame to low. To reduce flame height, rotate burner handle to
partially cover the burner holes. Vents should be open halfway or less.
6.
Place the fondue pot on the stand. Secure splatter shield.
Gel Fuel
If using gel fuel, remove liquid fuel dish. Do not pour gel onto the liquid fuel
dish. Fill holder two thirds full with gel chafing fuel. Follow steps 3-6 above.
WHILE IN USE
NEVER LEAVE IGNITED FUEL OR FONDUE SET UNATTENDED. KEEP
AWAY FROM CHILDREN. Do not move or tip the fondue set once the chafing
fuel is ignited. Do not smoke in the vicinity of the burner fuel, as it is highly
flammable.
To extinguish the flame, cover the ignited fuel completely with the
snuffer. The snuffer is positioned correctly when the hollowed (concave) side
covers the ignited fuel. Never blow out the flame. Never refill the burner while
hot or near an open flame.
EASY MAINTENANCE
Allow the entire fondue set to cool completely before cleaning. When
completely cool, remove the contents of the pot. Wash the fondue pot, splatter
shield, and forks by hand with warm soapy water. Do not use a scouring pad.
Towel-dry thoroughly right away. Wipe down the stand, burner, and base with
a damp towel. Not recommended for dishwasher use. Apply a light coating of
vegetable oil to the black cast iron rims of the fondue pot and splatter shield.
Do this after each use to preserve the rich cast iron finish. We also recommend
curing the warming stand once per year.
