Why is my fondue not staying hot enough?

Modified on Thu, 20 Aug at 2:57 PM

If the fondue cools too quickly, the thermostat may be set too low, the pot may be overfilled or the appliance may need a little longer to recover temperature after adding ingredients.

  1. Check that the appliance is on a stable, level surface away from drafts.
  2. Make sure the pot is filled within the maximum content indicator, if fitted.
  3. Turn the thermostat up a little and allow time for the temperature to rise.
  4. Stir gently so heat is distributed evenly, then test again after a few minutes.
  5. If the appliance still cannot maintain heat, unplug it and stop using it.

Expected result: the fondue should stay warm enough for dipping without large temperature drops.

When to stop: stop if the unit overheats, smells unusual or the cord or plug becomes hot.

When to contact support: contact support if temperature control seems unstable or the appliance never reaches a usable heat level.
