Please note the following:
Read the Operating Instructions through thoroughly. Persons who are not familiar
with the Operating Instructions and also children, should not be permitted to use
the appliance. It should be used only for the purposes for which it is intended and
any use for another purpose could prove dangerous and must be strictly forbidden.
Before putting into use
Place the appliance in the position where it will be used. This should be a surface
that is stable, level, dry and at least 10cms away from walls or other objects.
When first switched on, the Avalon may produce an odour due to the new parts
being heated. This is typical of electrically heated equipment and will disappear
after a few minutes. It is an absolutely normal effect and does not detract at all
from the quality of the product.
Putting into use
Switch on the appliance by turning the temperature dial clockwise or higher.
We recommend preheating the appliance for no more than five minutes.
Care and Cleaning
Switch off and remove the mains plug from the socket. Allow the appliance to cool
down. Never immerse the Avalon in water or place in a dishwasher. It should be
cleaned only with a soft, moist cloth except the hot plate which may be cleaned
with a proprietary hob cleaner. Never use aggressive, abrasive, hard or sharp
substances or tools for cleaning.
Repair instead of throwing away
Our Stöckli products are designed for longevity. If a repair becomes necessary,
it can extend the life of your Stöckli product by many years. This cost-effective and
environment-friendly solution also helps you to conserve resources. We would be
glad to carry out the repair for you.

Safety first
Read the safety advice through thoroughly before the first use of your electric
heater. Read the Operating Instructions carefully and keep them at hand. The
manufacturer accepts no liability for the consequences of improper use.
Attention! The appliance becomes hot in use – there is a risk of burning!
Do not leave it out-of-sight when in use.
Do not use with and empty pan, or no pan on the hotplate
Keep at least 10cm from combustible objects when in use
Never use an appliance which is damaged or which has a damaged mains-
cable and do not carry it while it is hot. Use extra vigilance when operating
in the presence of children.
Do not lay cloths or similar over the appliance (fire danger!) and do not touch
the heated cooking plate.
Always pull on the plug, not on the mains cable, when unplugging.
Do not immerse the appliance in water to clean it (short-circuit danger!)
Ensure before use that the local mains supply is in agreement with that
shown on the appliance type label.
Ensure that the mains cable, and any extension used, are placed so that there
is no risk of pulling and that no one can trip over it.
Keep the mains cable and any extension used, away from hot surfaces
or objects and from naked flames.
Remove the mains cable from the supply before cleaning and allow the
appli-ance enough time to cool down.
If the appliance becomes damaged or defective, remove the mains-plug
imme-diately and take it to a professional electrical dealer for checking and
repair. Never attempt to repair the appliance yourself ! The manufacturer
accepts no liability for any damage or injury arising from non-professional
repairs or attempted repairs.
Children must not play with the appliance. It must be kept out of reach of
children under the age of 8. The appliance must not be cleaned or maintained
