5. Place the appliance on a suitable stable and heat-resistant surface and ensure
that the grilling plate is installed correctly. Pour approx. 250 ml water in the fon-
due pot. Close the fondue pot with the lid and place the fondue pot on the fon-
due plate (see: ‘Operation / Getting Ready for Use’). Ensure good ventilation.
6. Turn both control dials clockwise to the stop, and leave the appliance heating
at maximum temperature for approx. 10 minutes (see: ‘Operation’). There is no
need for concern, if slight and harmless smoke and a burnt smell are generated
for a short while.
7. Turn both heating control dials counter-clockwise to the stop (LCD display gets
dark), unplug the appliance, and let the appliance cool down to room tempera-
ture (at least 30 minutes).
NOTE
If the burnt smell persists on later use, clean the appliance (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’).
If the burnt smell persists stubbornly even after thoroughly cleaning the appliance, return
the appliance to an authorized service centre for examination and repair.
PREPARING THE NON-STICK COATING
WARNING
– Do not touch the grilling plate, while the appliance is still hot!
Switch OFF (LCD display is dark), unplug and let the appliance cool down to room
temperature, before touching the grilling plate.
8. Ensure that the grilling plate is cold. Spread some droplets of cooking oil on the
grilling plate. Use a clean kitchen towel for distributing the cooking oil on the
complete non-stick coating. Wipe off surplus oil.
9. In the same way, rub the interior of the raclette dishes with cooking oil. There-
after, the appliance is ready for use.
OPERATION
WARNING - RISK OF EXPLOSION AND FIRE
–
The appliance is not
suited for flambéing and/or for heating inflammable liquids or alcoholic food.
WARNING - RISK OF BURNS
– Even the exterior of the appliance and the
used accessories (raclette dishes, fondue pot with lid, fondue forks) may become
very hot during operation. During operation only touch the appliance and the used
accessories by the handles and operating elements. However, always
ensure that
the handles of the accessories are not hot to the touch
, before touching them
with bare hands.
Ensure that persons present (including yourself) maintain a sufficient distance to the
appliance with hands, arms, face and clothes during operation.
During processing your food, please adhere to the following precautions, to avoid
injuries and damage:
•
Using the fondue function for heating oil or glutinous sauces:
Some sauces
splash when heated. Avoid selecting a too high temperature for the fondue func-
tion. Additionally, hot oil and hot sauces may splash and froth vigorously, when
frozen or very wet food is immersed. Only carefully immerse your food in hot oil
and sauces to avoid overflow. Fill the fondue pot only with max. 500 ml, when
heating frothing or splashing sauces or oil.
•
Using the fondue and grilling function simultaneously:
To avoid injuries, spe-
cial care is required, when reaching for the fondue pot for handling the fondue
pot, lid, or food, while the grilling plate is hot. At the lid of the fondue pot, con-
densate could accumulate. Fat, condensate, and juices could drip on the grilling
plate and splash vigorously, when removing the lid and/or any food.
During
operation of the grilling plate, even the handles of the fondue pot may get
hot.
Protect your hands with oven gloves.
•
Using the grilling function:
Frozen food or very wet food may splash vigorously,
when placed on the pre-heated grilling plate. Let frozen food warm up to room
temperature and dab dry wet food, via clean kitchen towel, before grilling. You
may pre-heat the raclette dishes on the grilling plate. However,
in this case,
even the handles of the raclette dishes may become hot!
