IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
The appliance is heated electrically. Place the appliance near a suita-
ble wall power socket to connect the appliance directly to a protected
mains power supply with protective conductor (earth/ground) connected
properly. Ensure that the power outlet used is connected separately
from other power outlets and the voltage rating of your mains power
supply corresponds to the requirements of the appliance (220 - 240 V,
50 - 60 Hz, AC, rated for 16 A).
• 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 sup-
plying 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 sup-
plies in foreign countries do not meat the requirements for safe opera-
tion of the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad,
ensure that safe operation is possible.
•
Do not use any multi socket outlet, external timer, or remote control
systems.
The power outlet used must be accessible at any time to ena-
ble disconnecting the appliance in any case of danger or malfunction.
• It is recommended to avoid using any extension cords. Nevertheless,
if you wish to use an extension cord, it must be connected properly
with live, neutral and protective ground conductor and a permanent
loading range of at least 16 A.
• When laying power cords, always ensure that no one will step on
the power cord or get entangled or trip over the power cords. Also,
ensure that no tension is applied to any part of the power cords. Tie
the extension cord loosely to the leg of the table using a separate
cord, to ensure that no one will pull the power cord. To disconnect:
First, unplug the extension cord from the power supply.
• Always handle power cords with care.
Always completely unwind
the power cords before use to avoid risk of overheating, fire, and
electric shock.
Do not place the appliance on or near a power cord.
Power cords may never be knotted, twisted, pulled, strained or squee-
zed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of the
table or counter. Ensure that the appliance will not be pulled by the
power cord. Always grasp the plug for disconnecting power cords.
Do not touch the power plug, with wet hands, while the appliance is
connected to the power supply.
• Do not place or immerse the appliance or 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 appliance is designed for cooking and heating a variety of food and
is heated electrically. Therefore, the complete appliance could get very
hot and cause severe injuries and damage, when used improperly.
• Beware of steam and hot condensate, as well as splashing hot fat,
water, and juices during operation and even some minutes after swit-
ching off, especially when removing the fondue pot and/or opening the
lid of the fondue pot or dripping liquid on the grilling plate. Take care
that persons present (including yourself) maintain a sufficient distance to
the appliance with hands, arms, face and clothes during operation. Do
not place any sensitive objects directly near the appliance.
• During operation and while the appliance is still hot, only touch the
appliance and its accessories at the operating elements and handles
(e.g. control dials, handles of the raclette dishes).
•
RISK OF SEVERE BURNS! Do not reach into the interior of the
raclette level with your hands, while the appliance is hot.
•
During operation of the grilling function, even the handles of the
fondue pot will get hot due to heat rising from the grilling plate!
When placing the raclette dishes on the grilling plate, even the
handles of the raclette dishes may get hot.
•
At the lid of the fondue pot, condensate could accumulate and
hot steam could escape. When removing the lid or any food from
the fondue pot, liquids could drip on the grilling plate and splash
