Use
Risk of burns or injury!
Very high temperatures are generated during use, the fondue pot, the warmer and the paste burner become hot. Residual heat remains even after use. Touch the pot and the paste burner by the handles only and place them on heat-resistant coasters only. Use our SPRING GRIPS pot holders or gloves, if necessary.
- Place the warmer on a stable, level and non-flammable surface. If necessary, use a washable, sufficiently heat-resistant mat to protect sensitive surfaces from dripping cheese or splashes.
- Use the heat distribution plate provided to prevent the caquelon from overheating or the cheese from burning.
Cheese fondue
- For cheese fondue use well-melting, aromatic cheeses, such as Gruyère, Appenzeller and/or Emmentaler.
- Prepare a cheese fondue at medium heat and melt the cheese mixture while permanently stirring. Form an 8 so that the cheese melts evenly and the ingredients combine well. The fondue pot should not be filled more than approx. 2⁄3.
- Place the fondue pot with the melted cheese onto an appropriate warmer including a heat distribution disc. If necessary, wear oven mitts when carrying the fondue pot.
- Now, use a stick lighter or a long match to ignite the fuel paste in the paste burner.
- You can set the intensity of the flame in accordance with the temperature you need. Move the top ring of the burner to the left or to the right in order to control the strength of the flame. You reach the maximum temperature when all the holes are open; the smallest flame is produced when all the side holes are closed.
- Use the forks to skewer the prepared pieces of food like bread cubes or cooked pieces of vegetables, and dip them in the melted cheese. Remember the marking on the handle of your fork to avoid confusion.
- From time to time, stir the melted cheese to avoid sticking on the bottom of the fondue pot.
Never leave the fondue pot unattended or in the proximity of children when it contains melted cheese.
Help children to dip and take out their pieces of food.
Refill the paste burner
- Use the lid to extinguish the flame and let the paste burner cool down.
- Remove the paste burner from the warmer and open it (screw closure).
- Refill the empty aluminium cup with fuel paste (max. 2/3). Alternatively, place a new aluminium cup with fuel paste into the lower section and tear open the cover.
- Close the burner (screw closure).
- Tip: For a better burning behaviour and especially after long periods of non-use, remove any remaining old fuel paste from the aluminium cup and dispose of it before refilling the burner.
Cleaning
- Extinguish the burner by closing the holes and placing the lid on the burner.
- Before cleaning, assure that the burner has extinguished completely and allow all parts to cool down.
