BEFORE FIRST USE
WARNING
–
DO NOT let young children play with the appliance, or any
part of it, or the packaging!
Always unplug the appliance from the power supply
and let it cool down to room temperature, before moving or cleaning the appli-
ance. Do not immerse the appliance or the power cord in water or other liquids
or spill any liquids on the appliance.
Do not place the housing or power cord in
an automatic dishwasher.
The grilling plate, grill shovel, raclette dishes, fondue
forks, fondue pot, lid, and folks holder inset are dishwasher-safe.
1. Unpack the appliance and all accessories carefully and check that no parts are
damaged or missing.
2. Carefully remove all shipping materials and tags, but DO NOT remove the
model label on the bottom of the appliance. Especially ensure that there are no
foreign objects in the raclette level or fondue pot.
3. Before first use and after an elongated period of storage, clean the appliance
and all accessories (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’).
4.
Before the very first use:
heat the appliance without any food to prepare the
heating elements for operation (see: ‘First Heating’). Thereafter, prepare the non-
stick coatings for use (see: ‘Preparing the Non-Stick Coating’).
FIRST HEATING
Prior to initial cooking, the protective layer of the heating elements has to be burned
in. This could cause some smoke escaping accompanied by a fine smoke haze, due
to the first heating of some of the components. To prevent smell and taste of your food
from being affected, you should heat the appliance on the maximum position of both
heating control dials for 10 minutes before placing any food on the grilling plates.
CAUTION
– Do not operate the appliance without the grilling plate properly
in place. Additionally, if the fondue function is in operation, there must be a mini-
mum amount of liquid in the fondue pot (at least 150 ml).
