6.  Use the fondue forks packaged with the Fondue Pot to spear foods for dipping 

or cooking.  To prevent scratching of the non-stick surface, use care when 
placing or swirling forks in pot.  The handles of the forks feature different colored 
ends to help the user identify their own fork. 

7.  After serving, turn the heat control to “OFF” and unplug the cord from the 

electrical outlet.  Allow the Fondue Pot and heat control to cool before cleaning.  
If the Fondue Pot must be moved before it has cooled, first remove the heat 
control using caution, as portions of the heat control may be hot.  Use hot pads 
to move the Fondue Pot as the handles may be warm.  

 
 

To keep the Fondue Pot looking attractive and cooking 

efficiently, clean it thoroughtly after each use. 
 

With the heat control set at “OFF,” unplug the cord from the 

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. 
 

After using the 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 the Fondue Pot. 
 

 

1.  Clean the non-stick interior and outside of the Fondue Pot in warm, soapy water 

using a non-metal cleaning pad.  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 the pot.  If staining occurs on the outside of 
the pot, scour with a non-abrasive cleanser.  

2.  Wash fondue forks, fork ring and glass cover, if included, in warm, soapy water 

with a dishcloth or sponge, rinse and dry thoroughly.  The ends of the forks are 
sharp, exercise care when washing them.  Do not use any abrasive metal 
scouring pads or cleansers on the glass cover or fork ring as damage can occur.  
After washing, rinse and dry thoroughly.  Note: Do not use abrasive scouring 
pads or cleansers on glass cover as scratching can occur.  Check the Fondue 
Pot for loose handles after cleaning.  Retighten loose screws immediately with 
the appropriate screwdriver, but do not over tighten.  Over tightening can result 
in stripping of screws or cracking of handles and handle failure.
