FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Temperature control probe does not need lubrication. Do not attempt to service this product. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used with care. However, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the fondue pot. The extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or animals, or tripped over unintentionally. NOTICE This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way. PREPARING YOUR FONDUE POT FOR USE Wash FONDUE POT, FONDUE RING and FORKS in hot, soapy water, Rinse thoroughly and dry. CAUTION: Do not wash or immerse the temperature control probe or cord. Before using the fondue for the first time, condition the nonstick cooking surface by lightly brushing the cooking surface with vegetable oil. Heat, uncovered, at setting #4 for up to 5 minutes. Turn to OFF and cool completely. Wipe away excess oil.

Be sure the cord is installed in the socket. Plug cord into 120 Volt AC outlet. Preheat if necessary. Turn TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL to desired temperature. INDICATOR LIGHT will turn on and then go off when selected temperature is reached. During cooking, the light will cycle ON and OFF to indi- cate that the temperature is being regulated. Use the FONDUE FORKS to spear foods for cooking or dipping. Be careful not to scratch the nonstick surface when placing FORKS in FONDUE POT. NOTE: When ingredients are stirred in the FONDUE POT, use plastic, nylon or wooden utensils to prevent damage to nonstick surface. After cooking or serving, turn TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL to OFF.
