Troubleshooting
Fondue is not heating evenly.
Ensure the burner is centered correctly under the pot and at the correct heat setting. Stir the fondue periodically to distribute heat.
Fondue is too thick or too thin.
Adjust the heat source. For thickening, reduce heat slightly and stir. For thinning, add small amounts of liquid (e.g., broth for cheese, cream for chocolate) while gently heating.
Burner will not light.
Check that the burner is properly seated and filled with fuel. Ensure the wick or ignition source is functional and there are no blockages.
Enamel coating appears damaged.
Inspect for significant chips or cracks. Minor imperfections might be cosmetic, but large chips could affect performance and safety. Contact customer support if concerned.
