operating, always ensure that there are no foreign objects in the raclette levels or the fondue
pot, and the grill plates are installed properly. Do not use wrapped foods (e.g. in kitchen foil),
to avoid risk of fire, electric shock, and damage. Immediately unplug the appliance, if there is
any kind of malfunction or problem (e.g. overheating, giving off smoke).
