sAfety instructions - during use
• Never use the appliance outdoors.
• Never use the appliance in a humid room.
• Place the appliance on a flat, stable surface where it cannot fall.
• Never allow the power cord to hang over the edge of the draining board,
worktop or table.
• Make sure that your hands are dry before touching the appliance, power
cord or plug.
• Switch off the appliance and remove the plug from the wall socket in the
event of a malfunction during use, and before cleaning the appliance,
fitting or removing an accessory, or storing the appliance after use.
• Never leave the appliance unsupervised whilst it is in use.
• Never move the appliance whilst it is switched on or is still hot. Switch off
the appliance, and wait until it has cooled down before you move it.
• Never switch on the appliance without filling it with the minimum required
amount of fondue oil (0,45 litres) or other liquid used to fondue the food.
• Use solely oil suitable for fondues. Do not use standard margarine or
butter. You can also fondue food with cheese or bouillon.
• Always hold the pan by the handles. The metal parts to which the wooden
handles are attached can be very hot.
• Only metal implements with a suitable insulating handle should be used
in the fondue oil. Do not touch the metal parts of the forks whilst using the
fondue: they can become as hot as the oil.
• Make sure that the food is thoroughly dry before you put it in the fondue.
Moist products can cause severe splashing of the hot oil.
• Take extreme care when filling or emptying the fondue pan. The inside
of the antisplash rim and the pan are both very hot; the hot vapours and
splashes of fat or oil can also cause burns.
• Do not remove or fit the anti-splash rim while the pan is hot.
• Do not splash hot oil on the heating plate. This will begin to smoke, and
will smell. Oil spilling from the pan will be collected in the channel around
the heating plate.
• Do not pick up the appliance if it falls into water. Remove the plug from the
wall socket immediately. Do not use the appliance any more.
• Clean the appliance thoroughly after use (see 'Cleaning and
maintenance').
• Never immerse the appliance, the plug or the power cord in water or other
liquid.
• This appliance may not be used through an external timer or by means of
a remote control.
