The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum rated
residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly recommended.
If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.
In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are subject to incompatible
norms. Therefore it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries do not meat the require-
ments for safe operation of the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad, ensure
that safe operation is possible.
• It is recommended not to use any extension cords. Nevertheless, if you wish to use an exten-
sion cord, it must be connected properly with live, neutral and protective ground conductor and
a permanent loading range of at least 15 A (core diameter: at least 1 mm
2
).
Do not use a
multi socket outlet.
• Always handle the power cord with care. Always completely unwind the power cord before
use. Do not place the appliance on or near a power cord. Power cords may never be knotted,
twisted, pulled, strained or squeezed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of
the table or counter. If necessary, use a rope to tie the extension cord to the table-leg to avoid,
that the appliance will be pulled by the power cord. Take care not to entangle in the power
cord. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Do not touch
the power plug, with wet hands when the appliance is connected to the power supply.
• Do not place or immerse the appliance, the grill plates, or the power cord in water or any
other liquid. Do not spill or drip any liquids on the power cord or exterior of the appliance.
When liquids are spilled on the appliance or power cord, immediately switch OFF and unplug
the appliance.
Hot Surfaces – Risk of Burns
The raclette is designed for cooking and heating a variety of foods and, therefore, the whole
appliance will get hot during operation.
• Beware of steam and hot condensate, as well as splashing hot fat and meat juices during
operation and even some minutes after switching off, especially when removing the fondue pot
and/or opening the lid of the fondue pot. Take care that persons present maintain a sufficient
distance from the hot grill plates with hands, arms, face and clothes during operation. Do not
place any sensitive objects directly near the appliance.
• During operation only touch the appliance and its accessories at the operating components
and handles (e.g. heating control dial, handles of fondue pot / raclette dishes). On the interior
of the lid of the fondue pot, condensate could accumulate and splash violently, when dripped
on the hot grill plates. During operation, protect your hands, arms, and valuable clothes (e.g.
with oven gloves) when making a reach for the fondue pot.
•
Do not overfill the fondue pot or raclette dishes, especially when heating food-
stuffs that could violently froth or splash.
Do not place any too large pieces of food,
overhanging the edges, on the grill plates or in the fondue pot. Otherwise hot fat, water or meat
juice could overflow and cause severe scalds and damage. Especially when preparing fondue
with oil, do not dip wet or frozen ingredients in hot oil, to avoid splashes and boiling over.
• To avoid damage and risk of fire: Do not place any heat-sensitive or inflammable objects
(i.e. charcoal, paper, plastic, clothes) or inflammable liquids on or near the appliance during
operation!
Do not place hot drinks with high alcoholic content (i.e. mulled wine, grog) on or near the appli-
ance if the appliance is still hot. Alcohol is highly volatile and the vapour is easy inflammable
and could catch fire by any source of ignition (i.e. cigarette, candle, heating elements of the
appliance) and therefore causing severe injuries to persons and damage.
