Special Storage Tip: Since the ends of the fondue forks are sharp, store them in an
area that is out of children’s reach
.
Dishwasher Cleaning: The Fondue Pot, with heat control removed, forks and glass
cover if included, may be cleaned in an automatic dishwasher. The plastic fork
ring, if included, should not be placed in a dishwasher. When placing these
parts onto a dishwasher rack, be sure they do not touch one another or other objects
being cleaned to prevent marring or scratching. The uncoated underside of the
Fondue Pot will darken after dishwasher cleaning which is normal. The non-stick
interior of the Fondue 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 thoroughly. 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 the Fondue Pot.
Dark and widespread staining, however, which usually results from overheating
and/or improper cleaning, may lessen the effectiveness of the non-stick properties.
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 the package directions for cleaning non-stick surfaces. If
staining is quite severe, simmer longer or repeat cleaning. Do not use household
bleach to clean the non-stick surface, as it will permanently fade it. After using a
commercial cleaner, wash the Fondue Pot , rinse and dry thoroughly. Recondition
the non-stick surface with vegetable oil before using.
