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.
