GETTING READY FOR USE
WARNING
– For operation always place the appliance on a stable, level, heat-
resistant surface. During operation,
do not
place any clothes or napkins or any other
foreign objects under, beneath or on the appliance or fondue pot or in the raclette
level.
Do not
place the appliance on or closely near any power cord. Do not place
any objects that are sensitive to heat, moisture, or fat near the appliance.
Do not ope-
rate the appliance near any objects that could easily catch fire
(e.g. curtains,
candles, inflammable liquids, high-proof alcoholic drinks, or mineralized spirit).
1. Place the appliance on a suitable surface near an appropriate wall power out-
let (see: ‘Important Safeguards’). At each side of the appliance, leave at least
50 cm of free space to walls, curtains, boards and other objects. Ensure good
ventilation.
2. Ensure that there are no foreign objects in the raclette level or fondue pot. If you
do not wish to use the fondue pot, take out the fondue pot or fill it with approx.
250 ml water.
CAUTION
– When using the fondue pot, ensure that there are ALWAYS at
least 150 ml of liquid in the fondue pot to avoid overheating. Keep in mind that
the filling level will drop gently during use, even if the fondue function is not in use.
However, it is good advice to leave the fondue pot within the appliance for pro-
tecting the fondue plate against splashes.
The grilling plate must be installed properly, even when it is not in use.
3. Ensure that the grilling plate is installed properly on the grilling plate power
socket and grilling plate support and will not tilt or wobble.
4. Turn both control dials counter-clockwise to the stop.
5. Insert the power plug into the power outlet. A beep sounds. The LCD display illu-
minates shortly and then gets dark again. The appliance is ready for use, now.
PREPARING FONDUE
WARNING
– While the fondue pot is filled with hot liquid, ensure to hold the
fondue pot level and
grasp the fondue pot at both handles
. Additionally keep
the lid closed, if possible—especially when the contents is hot. Otherwise, the
content could run out, causing high risk of severe burns and damage.
Only use the supplied fondue pot with the appliance. Do not pre-heat the fondue pot
with any other heating device. The fondue pot is not suited for frying and steaming.
