CAUTION: BEFORE OPERATING FONDUE SET, CAREFULLY
READ THE USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS.
1. This modern fondue can be used with liquid chafing fuel,
(denatured alcohol) or gel chafing fuel. Never mix liquid and gel chafing
fuels.
2. Never use the fondue pot in a microwave.
3. Use only matches to light the chafing fuel. Never use a lighter or other
ignition devices.
4. Always store the fondue set, chafing fuels, and matches in a
child-safe place.
5. Always operate the fondue set on a stable and level flat surface, such as a
table.
6. To help prevent damage to furniture and countertops, always place the
fondue set on a heat-resistant surface, such as a trivet or the wooden base
provided.
7. Before using the fondue set, always make sure the pot fits securely on the
stand.
8. Always secure the splatter shield to the fondue pot before using the pot
with the ignited chafing fuel.
9. Do not operate the fondue set with the burner vents fully open. After
lighting the burner, close the vents halfway before placing the fondue pot
on the stand. If the flames extend beyond the cooking surface of the pot,
rotate the burner handle counterclockwise to lower the flame height.
10. Do not move or tip the fondue set once the chafing fuel is ignited.
11. Never leave ignited fondue set and ignited chafing fuel
unattended.
12. To help prevent pot damage, never leave an empty fondue pot or a pot
with less than one-inch (2.5 cm) depth of fondue mixture over the flame.
13. To avoid burning food, consistently stir the fondue mixture. Cuisinart
is not responsible for stains or damage to the pot interior as a result of
burned or overcooked food.
14. Always use a potholder when touching the pot, splatter shield, stand, or
burner. The fondue set may get very hot when in use.
15. To extinguish the flame, cover the ignited fuel completely with the
snuffer. The snuffer is positioned correctly when the hollowed (concave)
side covers the ignited fuel. Never blow out the flame. Never refill the
burner while hot or near an open flame.
16. Take care not to lose or damage components of the fondue set. Compo-
nent parts are not sold separately from the fondue set. Never substitute
another manufacturer’s fondue parts for components of this fondue set.
BEFORE USING
Purchase liquid chafing fuel and/or gel chafing fuel to be used with the burner.
Fuel is usually sold at hardware stores, restaurant and catering suppliers, party
stores, online, and at some supermarkets, department, or specialty stores.
Wash the fondue pot with warm soapy water and towel-dry thoroughly before
first use.
PREPARING THE FONDUE
Please see the enclosed recipe cards for instructions on preparing basic
chocolate, cheese, and broth fondues as well as interesting alternatives. Use
wooden or nylon utensils only. Metal utensils will scratch the cast iron surface.
Cast iron construction allows for heat to be absorbed and distributed
efficiently. When using the fondue pot on the stovetop, best results are
obtained on low to medium heat settings.

HOW TO USE WARMING STAND
Before lighting the burner, place the warming stand in the location where you
will be serving the fondue on a heat resistant surface or in the wooden base
provided. Place in an area where there are no drafts, away from curtains or
other flammable items. Choose to work with the liquid alcohol or gel fuel. For
best results use alcohol fuel for delicate fondue sauces. However, gel fuel may
also be used. If the fondue is becoming hotter than desired it is okay to snuff
the flame and continue to fondue. Follow these steps to light the burner:
LIGHTING THE BURNER (see diagram on back)
Alcohol Fuel
1. Open the burner by taking off the burner control and snuffer. Place the
liquid fuel dish inside the holder.
2. Pour 3 ounces (85 g) of liquid alcohol into the fuel dish.
3. Replace the burner cover, making certain that it is securely attached to
the burner holder by turning the top clockwise. Place burner holder in
the well area located in the centre of the fondue stand. Make sure it fits
securely.
4. Touch a lit match to the top of the burner to ignite it. Do not use a lighter
or other ignition devices.
5. Adjust the flame to low. To reduce flame height, rotate burner handle to
partially cover the burner holes. Vents should be open halfway or less.
6. Place the fondue pot on the stand. Secure splatter shield.
Gel Fuel
If using gel fuel, remove liquid fuel dish. Do not pour gel onto the liquid fuel
dish. Fill holder two thirds full with gel chafing fuel. Follow steps 3-6 above.
WHILE IN USE
NEVER LEAVE IGNITED FUEL OR FONDUE SET UNATTENDED. KEEP
AWAY FROM CHILDREN. Do not move or tip the fondue set once the chafing
fuel is ignited. Do not smoke in the vicinity of the burner fuel, as it is highly
flammable.
To extinguish the flame, cover the ignited fuel completely with the
snuffer. The snuffer is positioned correctly when the hollowed (concave) side
covers the ignited fuel. Never blow out the flame. Never refill the burner while
hot or near an open flame.
EASY MAINTENANCE
Allow the entire fondue set to cool completely before cleaning. When
completely cool, remove the contents of the pot. Wash the fondue pot, splatter
shield, and forks by hand with warm soapy water. Do not use a scouring pad.
Towel-dry thoroughly right away. Wipe down the stand, burner, and base with
a damp towel. Not recommended for dishwasher use. Apply a light coating of
vegetable oil to the black cast iron rims of the fondue pot and splatter shield.
Do this after each use to preserve the rich cast iron finish. We also recommend
curing the warming stand once per year.
