Clean After Each Use:
To keep Fondue Pot looking attractive and cooking
efficiently, clean it thoroughtly after each use.
Remove Heat Control:
With heat control set at OFF, unplug cord from electrical
outlet and allow to cool. If the heat control must be removed prior to cooling, remove
the heat control using caution, as portions of the heat control may be hot.
Let Fondue Pot Cool By Itself -
After using Fondue Pot, always allow it to cool
completely by itself. Do not hasten cooling by adding cold water or immersing in
water when hot. Although made of thick aluminum, a sudden change in temperature
may cause the metal to warp. Always allow hot oil or liquid to cool completely before
removing from Fondue Pot.
In-the-Sink Cleaning
1. Clean non-stick interior and outside of Fondue Pot in hot, soapy water using a
non-metal cleaning pad. A dishcloth or sponge may give the non-stick surface a
clean look, but will not remove the tiny food particles that can settle into the
finish. Do not use metal scouring pads or harsh scouring cleansers on the
nonstick surface or outside of pot. If staining occurs on outside of pot, scour
with a non-abrasive cleanser.
2. Wash fondue forks, fork ring and glass cover, if included, in hot soapy water with
a dishcloth or sponge, rinse and dry. The ends of forks are sharp, so exercise
care when washing them. Do not use any abrasive metal scouring pads or
cleansers on glass cover or fork ring as damage can occur. After washing rinse
and dry parts. Note: Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers on glass
cover as scratching can occur. Check Fondue Pot for loose handles after
cleaning. Retighten loose screws immediately with appropriate screwdriver, but
do not over tighten. Over tightening can result in stripping of screws or cracking
of handles and handle failure.
SPECIAL STORAGE TIP:
Since ends of fondue forks are sharp store them in an
area that is out of children’s reach .
Dishwasher Cleaning:
Fondue Pot (with heat control removed), forks and glass
cover if included, may be cleaned in an automatic dishwasher. Plastic fork ring, if
included, should not be placed in dishwasher.
When placing these parts into
dishwasher rack, be sure they do not touch one another or other objects being
cleaned to prevent marring or scratching. The uncoated underside of Pot will darken
after dishwasher cleaning which is normal. The non-stick interior of Pot must be
reconditioned with vegetable oil after each automatic dishwasher cleaning.
