Before fi rst use
Clean the appliance, pot and accessories as
described in section Cleaning and care.
How to use your fondue set
∙ Fill the pot with the required amount of fat,
broth or cheese, according to your recipe.
When using fat or broth, ensure that the
level remains between the minimum and
maximum level marks (○). The maximum
capacity depends on the type of pot used
(upper level mark = maximum capacity).
∙ Place the pot onto the hotplate and plug
in the appliance.
Meat fondue
∙ Turn the temperature control knob to
position 5.
∙ Preheat the fat or broth for about 20
minutes before you put in the meat.
∙ When using fat, the cooking time is
approx. 1 ½ to 3 minutes and approx. 3 to
4 minutes when using broth.
Cheese fondue
∙ Turn the temperature control knob to
position 5 and put the cheese into the
pot. Stir continuously while the cheese is
melting.
∙ Once the cheese has melted, the
temperature control knob can be turned
back to position 2 or 3 to keep the cheese
warm.
When cooking is fi nished pull out the plug.
Warning! The pot and the hotplate are still
hot.
Hints on use with fat
Do not cover the pot with a lid during pre-
heating. This is to prevent the fat and the
fork holder from over-heating.
Only use pure vegetable fat. The fat must
be suitable for high temperatures, neutral in
taste and must not smoke or spill. Oil and
animal fats are therefore not suitable.
∙ Only use the same fat 3 or 4 times. Stale
fat smells bad, foams and becomes
viscous.
∙ Do not add fresh fat to stale fat. Always
change the fat completely.
∙ Do not mix different kinds of fat.
∙ Chop the meat. Only use small pieces of
meat.
∙ Frozen food should the thawed before it is
cooked.
∙ Thoroughly dry the food stuffs to be
cooked to avoid that the fat foams over.
∙ Keep the fat in a closed container and in
a cool place.
Cleaning and care
∙ Remove the plug from the wall socket and
allow the appliance to cool down before
cleaning.
∙ For reasons of electrical safety, the
hotplate and power cord should not be
treated with liquids and should never be
immersed.
∙ Do not pour used fat or oil in a sink.
The cold fat may be discarded with the
domestic refuse.
∙ The stainless steel pot can be cleaned in
hot soapy water or in the dishwasher. Any
cheese residues may be removed with a
