Hot Surfaces - Risk Of Burns; Non-Stick Coating - Gastroback Fondue Set Bedienungsanleitung

• Do not place or immerse the heating base or power cord in water or
any other liquid. Do not spill or drip any liquids on the power cord
or the heating base. When liquids are spilled on the heating base or
power cord, immediately switch OFF and unplug the appliance.
HOT SURFACES – RISK OF BURNS
The appliance is designed for cooking, heating and keeping warm a
variety of food and is heated electrically. Therefore, the complete appli-
ance could get very hot and cause severe injuries and damage, when
used improperly.
• Beware of steam and hot condensate, as well as splashing and drip-
ping of hot fat, water, and juices during operation and even some
minutes after switching off, especially when removing the fondue pot
and/or the forks holder of the fondue pot. Take care that persons pre-
sent (including yourself) maintain a sufficient distance to the appliance
with hands, arms, face, and clothes during operation and some time
thereafter. Do not place any sensitive and valuable objects near the
appliance.
• Even the exterior of the appliance and the accessories (e.g. fondue
pot, forks holder, fondue forks) get hot during operation. During ope-
ration and while the appliance is still hot, only touch the appliance
and its accessories at the operating elements and handles. Please
keep in mind, that even the handles of the fondue forks may be hot,
after the fondue forks have been placed in the fondue pot for a coo-
king process.
• Always ensure that no one (including you) holds hands or arms
below the food, when removing pieces of food from the fondue
pot, because hot liquid may drip. For moving the fondue pot, always
hold the fondue pot at BOTH handles.
• Only use the fondue pot, dedicated for the appliance. Do not heat
the fondue pot of the appliance with any other source of heat (e.g.
range). The fondue pot is not suited for sautéing or roasting. Do not
operate the appliance, while the fondue pot is empty. To avoid over-
heating, only use the appliance with a sufficient amount of liquid (at
EN

least 1300ml) in the fondue pot.
• Do not overfill the fondue pot, especially when heating food that could
violently froth or splash (e.g. oil, some barbecue sauces). Observe the
appropriate filling lines. Do not insert any too large pieces of food
that could be overhanging the edges of the fondue pot. Otherwise hot
fat, water or juices could overflow and cause scalds and damage.
Especially when preparing fondue with oil, do not dip wet or frozen
ingredients in hot oil, to avoid splashes and boiling over.
• Food may be burnt to charcoal and even catch fire, when overhe-
ated. Do not leave any food burn on the heating plate. RISK OF
EXPLOSION AND FIRE: Some materials, types of food, or alcoholic
drinks can catch fire and/or give off inflammable vapours causing
explosion, when heated! As with most other heating devices, do not
place any inflammable objects or inflammable liquids (e.g. alcoholic
drinks, spirit, or solvents) on or near the appliance, while the appli-
ance is hot! These substances may be highly volatile and the vapour is
easy inflammable and could catch fire and explode by any source of
ignition (i.e. cigarette, candle, electrical parts of the appliance) and
therefore causing severe injuries to persons and damage. Do not heat
alcoholic food/liquids via the appliance. Do not pour or drop any
alcoholic liquor or alcoholic food on the appliance. The appliance
is NOT suited for flambéing!
• Do not place the fondue pot on heat-sensitive surfaces, when the fon-
due pot is still hot.

NON-STICK COATING

The fondue pot of your new »Fondue Set« is provided with a non-stick
coating. Cooking on a non-stick surface minimises the need for oil or fat
and food does not stick. Even stubborn residues can be removed via
warm dishwater and a nylon washing brush (see: 'Care and Cleaning').
Any discolouration that may occur will not affect the cooking perfor-
mance. Please adhere to the following precautions:
• Do not use hard or sharp-edged objects (e.g. fondue forks, knifes)
for scratching or cutting on the non-stick coatings. For stirring, only
