The Fondue
Useful hints for use
• Oil and fat must be heatable to very high temperatures.
Use high quality frying oil or frying grease. Do not use
margarine, olive oil or butter: they are not fit for frying,
because they start to smoke already at low temperatures.
• We recommend the use of liquid frying oil.
CAUTION:
... if you would like to use fat!
• If you use fat, please divide it up into small pieces.
• Turn the thermostat to a low temperature and add the
pieces slowly.
• If the fat has melted and the required oil level is
reached, you can set the desired temperature on the
thermostat. Do not exceed the MAX mark!
CAUTION:
Heavy build up of foam!
• Never mix oils and fats. The liquid may overflow.
• Rub wet food dry with a cloth. Damp food causes a
heavy build up of foam which is serious cases may
cause the oil/fat to overflow.
WARNING:
Contaminated oil/fat can be highly inflammable!
• Always remove any food which may remain in the oil/
fat.
• Replace the oil/fat regularly.
Rotating Base
1. Fold out the individual holders so that they are horizontal.
The round distance pieces face downwards and subse-
quently lie on the heating stand.
2. Position the holder with the movable "lug" vertical. Clamp
the fixed "lug" on the rotating
base (see Fig.) to one side under
the hotplate.
3. Pull the rotating base over the
hotplate. Clamp the holder with
the movable "lug" facing
outwards.
After use you can save space when you store the rotating
basis by folding the holders back inwards.
Initial Operation of the Fondue Set
Please select a suitable non-slip base on which to place your
fondue.
1. Insert the rotating base as described above. Then insert
the sauce vessels into the holders.
2. Place the fondue equipment on the heating stand.
3. Fill the pot with fat or oil (min. 0.5 l to max. 1.0 l). Place the
equipment onto the fondue pot.
4. Turn the thermostat to MIN.
5. Only connect the machine to a properly installed 230 V,
50 Hz safety socket.
6. Turn the device to the medium temperature range and
heat up the oil for some time.
NOTE:
The control lamp indicates that the hotplate is warming
up. During use it switches on and off. This is normal
and indicates that the temperature is thermostatically
controlled and maintained.
