TIPS FOR SAFE USE WHEN USING OIL FOR MEAT FONDUE
REVIEW THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS BEFORE USING YOUR FONDUE POT WITH OIL:
1. ALWAYS exercise caution when cooking foods in hot oil. It is not recommended that children be present when cooking with hot oil.
2. Since some spattering of oil will occur during cooking, you may want to put the Fondue Pot onto a protective heat resistant pad or mat to
prevent oil from splattering onto table covering or surface. If surface on which Fondue Pot is used is not heat resistant, place Fondue Pot
on a heat-resistant pad, tray or board to protect the surface below. Make sure the Fondue Pot rests level. Position the Fondue Pot so it is
easily accessible to those using it.
3. To prevent tripping or pulling of the cord, exercise care in the placement of extension cord if used. Tape cord if necessary.
4. Make sure Fondue Pot is completely dry before using.
5. Fill 2-quart Fondue Pot with 3 cups (24 fluid ounces) vegetable oil or fill 3-quart Fondue Pot with 3 ½ cups (28 fluid ounces)
vegetable oil. Do not use more than the recommended amount of vegetable oil for either size Fondue Pot to prevent the
possibility of hot oil overflowing. Do not substitute lard, shortening, butter, margarine, or olive oil for vegetable oil as these are
not suitable for high temperature cooking.
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or property damage, 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.
6. NEVER place any type of cover onto the Fondue Pot when heating oil or cooking foods in oil.
7. ALWAYS remove water or ice crystals from foods before cooking by blotting dry with paper toweling. This will prevent excess
spattering and foaming of oil.
8. ALWAYS trim any excess fat from meat and allow cut meat to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. Blot dry
before using.
9. If fork ring is included with pot, place securely on top edge colored side up. Gently place individual forks containing bite-sized pieces of
food into hot oil. Always use fondue forks to place food in oil. Do not drop foods in oil. Rest forks in slots of fork ring or on edge of
pot. When foods are cooked to desired doneness, remove by grasping handle of fork. Exercise caution, as metal shaft and fork will be
hot.
10. ALWAYS use the 375
º F temperature setting for meat fondue. The oil will maintain a suitable frying temperature and will not overheat.
Preheat time is about 10 to 12 minutes or until signal light goes out on the heat control
11. Do not carry the Fondue Pot when it contains hot oil. Use hot pads as handles of the Fondue Pot will become warm during use.
12. Turn the Fondue Pot to OFF position and unplug cord from electrical outlet after using. Allow Fondue Pot to cool completely before
moving.
13. Discard oil from the Fondue Pot after it has cooled. Do not reuse the oil
14. NEVER leave the Fondue Pot unattended or plugged into an electrical outlet when not in use.
