Product Overview
The Starfrit 3-in-1 Fondue Burner Set is a versatile kitchen appliance designed for indoor, non-commercial use. It allows you to prepare a variety of fondue meals, including meat (Bourguignonne and Chinese style), cheese, and chocolate. The set includes a stainless steel pot, a carbon steel stand, an adjustable safety burner, a ceramic bowl for delicate fondues, a magnetic fork guide, six color-coded forks, and four ceramic ramekins with mini spoons.
Safety Measures
Safety is paramount when using a fuel-based burner. Never use liquid fuel with this burner; only use fuel in capsule or gel form. Always operate the set in a well-ventilated area on a flat, level, and stable surface. Keep the burner away from flammable materials like drapes, clothes, or tablecloths. Always use a match to light the burner; never use a lighter as it may catch fire. Never blow on the flame to extinguish it; instead, set the burner to the lowest intensity and place the lid on it. Never leave the burner unattended while lit.
Usage Instructions
To use the burner with gel fuel, remove the adjustable lid, fill the receptacle to the maximum capacity indicated, and replace the lid. For capsule fuel, remove the receptacle, insert the capsule, remove its lid, and replace the burner lid. The flame intensity can be adjusted using the sliding mechanism on the handle, with '+' indicating maximum and '-' indicating minimum intensity. When preparing cheese or chocolate fondues, use the ceramic bowl placed inside the stainless steel pot filled with hot water to prevent burning. Always use oven mitts when handling hot components.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Before the first use, wash all parts in hot, soapy water. Allow all components to cool completely before cleaning or storage. The ceramic pots, stainless steel fondue pot, forks, and spoons are dishwasher safe. Other parts should be cleaned with a damp cloth. If the burner shows stains or discoloration, use a stainless steel cleaner and a soft sponge. Never move the fondue set while the burner is lit or while it contains hot oil or liquid.
