• ALWAYS follow care and use instructions in this booklet to avoid chips, cracks and scratches due to hitting rims, using

metal utensils, using abrasive scouring pads or cleansers or from accidental impact.

CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or steam burns when removing cover from pot:

• ALWAYS use oven mitt when removing glass cover from Fondue Pot.

• ALWAYS tilt top of cover toward you.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

• Clean After Each Use- To keep Fondue Pot looking attractive and cooking efficiently, clean it thoroughly 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.

CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or electric shock, always remove heat control before immersing Fondue Pot in

water. Do not immerse heat control, its cord or plug in water or other liquid.

• 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 such as Scrunge®

Scrubber-Sponge, Dobie® or Scotch Brite Cookware Scrub’n Sponge®. 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 such as Bon Ami®, Copper Glo® or Soft Scrub®.

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. CAUTION: Do not use abrasive scouring

pads or cleansers on glass cover as scratching can occur. Scratching can weaken glass and cause breakage when used. Be

careful not to drop glass cover or hit it sharply with cooking utensils or against the sink. CAUTION: To prevent personal

injury or property damage, 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.

SPECIAL CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

• Removing a Mineral Film - A spotted white film may form on the non-stick surface. This is a buildup of minerals from

foods or water and is not a defect in the finish. To remove, soak a soft cloth in lemon juice or vinegar and rub onto the

finish. Then wash, rinse and dry. Recondition the non-stick surface with vegetable oil before using.

• Removing Stains - After frequent use, the non-stick surface may discolor. Minor stains are considered normal and do not

affect the performance of Fondue Pot. Dark and widespread staining, however, which usually results from overheating

and/or improper cleaning, may lessen the effectiveness of the non-stick property. If staining occurs, treat with a

commercial cleaner for non-stick finishes such as Dip-It® coffee pot destainer. (Dip-It® coffee pot destainer is available

in most grocery and department stores.) Follow package directions for cleaning non-stick surfaces. If staining is quite

severe, simmer longer or repeat cleaning. Do not use household bleach to clean non-stick surface, as it will permanently

fade it. After using commercial cleaner, wash Pot thoroughly, rinse and dry. Recondition the non-stick surface with

vegetable oil before using.
