To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions and warnings.

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

Do not use glass cover if chipped, cracked or has deep scratches. Weakened glass can shatter during use. Discard immediately.

Do not set glass cover on hot burner or on oven heat vent. Sudden temperature change may cause the cover to crack or shatter.

Glass is breakable. Care should be taken not to drop or impact the glass cover. If the cover breaks, it will do so in many pieces. Avoid or discard any foodstuffs exposed to broken cover.

Set cover on hot pad, trivet or other heat protective surface. Do not set hot cover directly on the counter, table or other surface.

Moving an appliance containing hot foods, liquids or oil is not recommended. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing oil.

Always exercise caution when cooking food in hot oil.

Never add water or any type of liquid such as wine or bouillon to oil as any amount of liquid can cause eruption of the hot oil.

Never place any type of cover on this appliance when heating oil or cooking foods in oil.

Be extremely cautious of steam when removing cover. Lift cover slowly directing steam away from you.

Do not set hot cover on cold or wet surface; let cover cool before placing in water. Do not add frozen/cold foods or liquids into heated cooking pot. Sudden temperature changes may cause the cover to crack or shatter.

Do not place glass cover with metal ring in the microwave oven.

Allow appliance to cool completely after use and before cleaning or storing.

Always attach heat control to fondue pot first, then plug cord into electrical outlet. After cooking and serving, turn heat control to “off” and unplug from electrical outlet. Let fondue pot cool before removing heat control.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
