13.5 Setup
13.5.1
Setup location requirements:
In order to ensure the safe and trouble-free operation of the device, the setup location
must fulfil the following prerequisites:
• The appliance must be positioned on a solid, even, horizontal and heat-resistant
base with sufficient load-supporting capacity for the appliance itself plus the heaviest
anticipated cooking contents.
• The induction cooktop must not be operated on a base with an iron or steel content,
as this can heat up considerably.
• Select an installation location where children cannot reach the appliance's hot
surface.
• The appliance is not intended as a built-in appliance.
• Never place the device on a flammable surface (e.g. table cloth, carpet, etc.).
• Do not block the ventilation slots of the device. This may overheat the device. Keep a
min. distance of 5 to 10 cm to walls or other items.
• Do not set up the FonDue in the vicinity of appliance and objects which react
sensitively to magnetic fields (e.g.: Radios, televisions, cassette recorders, etc.).
• Do not place FonDue next to open fires, heaters or other sources of heat.
• Make sure that the mains connection cable is not damaged or squashed beneath the
device.
• Make sure that the mains connection cable does not come into contact with sharp
edges and/or hot surfaces.
• The electrical socket must be easily accessible so that the power lead can be
disconnected easily, in the case of an emergency.
• The installation and assembly of this device in non-stationary setup locations (e.g. on
ships) must be carried out by specialist companies / electricians, provided they
guarantee the prerequisites for the safe use of this device.
13.5.2
Preventing Radio interference
The appliance can cause interference to radios, televisions or similar devices. Interference
can be removed or reduced using the following measures:
• Place the radio, television etc. as far away from the appliance as possible.
• Connect the appliance to a different socket, so that different electric circuits are being
used for the appliance and the receiver experiencing interference.
• Use a correctly installed aerial for the receiver in order to ensure good reception.
