This document serves as an instruction manual for an electric fondue pot, designed to provide users with essential information regarding its safe operation, usage, and maintenance. The manual emphasizes the importance of reading all instructions thoroughly before the first use to prevent misuse, damage to the appliance, or injury to the user.

Function Description:

The electric fondue pot is a cooking appliance designed for preparing various types of fondue, such as classic fondue bourguignonne, cheese fondue, Chinese fondue, and chocolate fondue. It operates by heating a pot containing oil, broth, or other preparations to a desired temperature, allowing users to cook ingredients by dipping them into the hot liquid. The appliance features a thermostat control knob to adjust the heating level, ensuring optimal cooking conditions for different fondue types.

Usage Features:

The fondue pot is designed for household and similar applications, including staff kitchen areas, farmhouses, hotels, motels, and bed and breakfast environments. It is not intended for continuous professional use.

Before initial use, users are instructed to remove all packaging and stickers, then wash all parts (except the heating base) in soapy water and rinse thoroughly. A slight smoke may be produced during the first use, which is normal, and adequate ventilation is recommended.

To operate the appliance, it should be placed on a flat, dry, and stable surface. The power cord should be unwound and plugged into a mains socket, ensuring the thermostat is set to "0" or "MIN" before starting. The pot should be carefully filled with the desired preparation (oil, broths, etc.), making sure the liquid level does not exceed the "MAX" indicator inside the pan. An anti-splash collar should then be fitted to the pan.

The thermostat control knob is used to set the desired temperature. For heating, it should initially be turned to the maximum position. The appliance typically takes 20-30 minutes to bring oil to the correct temperature. During cooking, the temperature setting can be adjusted based on the amount of ingredients being cooked. The indicator light will cycle on and off due to thermostatic control, which is normal. For classic fondue bourguignonne, the maximum thermostat level is recommended, while for cheese, Chinese, and chocolate fondues, a medium thermostat level is suggested.

After use, the thermostat should be turned to the "0" or "MIN" position, the appliance unplugged, and allowed to cool down completely before handling.

Safety Precautions:

Several safety instructions are provided to ensure safe operation:

• The appliance should always be placed on a flat, dry, and stable surface.
• Cooking appliances with handles should be positioned to avoid spillage of hot liquids.
• Never use the appliance if it is not working properly, has been dropped, damaged, or immersed in water. It should be taken to a service center for inspection and repair, and users should not attempt to dismantle it themselves.
• There is a risk of injury if the appliance is misused.
• The appliance should not be covered during use.
• It should not be moved during use or when hot.
• Children aged 0-8 years should not use the appliance. Children aged 8 years and above can use it under continuous supervision. Persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, can use the appliance if supervised and instructed on safe use, and if they understand the hazards involved. Children should not play with the appliance.
• Cleaning and user maintenance should not be performed by children.
• The appliance and its cord should be kept out of reach of children under 8 years.
• Contact with hot surfaces or heat sources (hotplates, hot gas, hot oven) should be avoided.
• Accessible surfaces may become hot during operation and remain very hot after use, so the appliance must be allowed to cool down before storing or cleaning.
• The base of the appliance should never be immersed in water or any other liquid. Water must not enter the base.
• The product should never be used with wet hands or feet.
• Before connecting, ensure the voltage matches the appliance's nameplate.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons to avoid hazards.
• Do not pull on the power cord or the unit to unplug it.
• Do not let the cord hang over tables or counters or touch hot surfaces.
• The socket must always be accessible when the appliance is plugged in.
• Only connect to a socket with a built-in earth connection. If an extension cord is used, it must also have an earth connection and be able to withstand the appliance's power.
• The appliance should not be left unattended when plugged in or in operation.
• Always unplug the appliance in case of malfunction, after use, or before cleaning.
• The manual should be kept with the appliance and provided to any third-party user.
• Only manufacturer-recommended accessories should be used.
• The device is not designed for continuous use and requires temporary stops.
• Never use the device outdoors or leave it exposed to bad weather and humidity.

Maintenance Features:

For cleaning and storage, the appliance must be unplugged and allowed to cool down completely. The appliance should never be immersed in water or placed in a dishwasher. Cleaning agents such as oven cleaner should not be used.

The inside and outside of the pan should be cleaned with hot water, washing-up liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge, then rinsed thoroughly. The heating base can be wiped with a damp cloth if necessary and dried before storage. The appliance should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from the weather.

The manual also includes information on the correct disposal of the product in accordance with the European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), emphasizing responsible recycling to prevent environmental harm and promote sustainable reuse of materials. Users are advised to contact their retailer or local authority for information on environmentally safe recycling.
