6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your GREECHO FS01 Electric Fondue Pot Set, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance does not turn on. | No power supply. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check household circuit breaker. |
| Fondue is not heating or melting effectively. | Incorrect mode selected; insufficient preheating; ingredients too cold or dense. | Verify the correct preset mode (e.g., Cheese mode for cheese) is selected. Allow the heating plate to preheat for 2-5 minutes. For cheese or chocolate, pre-melt on a stovetop before transferring to the electric pot. Ensure ingredients are at room temperature if possible. |
| Fondue is burning or sticking to the bottom. | Temperature too high; insufficient stirring. | Reduce the temperature using the - button. Stir the fondue frequently, especially with thicker mixtures. |
| Splatter guard does not fit properly. | Incorrect placement. | Ensure the splatter guard is correctly aligned and seated on the rim of the fondue pot. |
