Before First Use
Become familiar with the various parts of the
multi-cooker (Fig. D) and read the instructions
carefully.
This versatile electric multi-cooker braises,
blanches, boils, deep fries, stews, steams, makes
soups and desserts.
Caution: This product is not intended to melt
wax, gels, plastics, or other materials for mak-
ing candles or for other hobbyist activities or
in any commercial or business application.
How To Use
Before initial use, and after each subsequent use, wash appliance in dishwasher or in warm sudsy water, rinse, and dry. Do not immerse
heat control or magnetic cord assembly in water or let them come in contact with any liquid. Prior to first use, “season” the multi-
cooker’s cooking surface by rubbing lightly with cooking oil. Remove excess oil with paper towel.
For best results use nylon, plastic, wooden, or rubber utensils to turn, stir, or remove food when not using the steam/fry basket. The use
of metal utensils is not recommended.
1. Place multi-cooker on a dry, level, heat resistant surface. The cover should not be on the multi-cooker.
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury, position multi-cooker well back from edge of counter or table. Do not let cord hang or drape
over edge of counter or table within reach of children.
2. Insert the probe end of the heat control into the multi-cooker so the two electrical
pins on the appliance are fully inserted into the heat control. Then attach the
magnetic cord assembly to the heat control by aligning the magnetic coupler
end with the two electrical pins located on the back of the heat control (Fig.
E). Due to the fact that the magnetic coupler end is polarized, it can only be
attached to the heat control one way. When properly aligned, the plug will
magnetically attach itself to the heat control. Attach the cord so that the printed
patent information on the magnetic plug is facing up. The daisy and cautionary
language will be facing towards the counter. If positioned upside down, it will
not attach.
Important: The magnetic cord was designed to detach easily from the
multi-cooker. As a result, if it is bumped or touched during use it could
possibly detach causing the unit to stop heating. Avoid contact with cord
during operation. If contact occurs, verify that the cord is still properly
connected.
3. Plug the multi-cooker into a 120v AC electrical polarized outlet only.
4. Using the index on page 4, determine the type of cooking method you will be
following and turn to the referenced page.
5. Preheat multi-cooker as indicated in the cooking method and follow the cook-
ing instructions. During cooking, the pilot light will go on and off indicating
temperature is being maintained.
Note: When using the multi-cooker for the first time, a slight odor or light smoking may occur as manufacturing residue evaporates.
This is normal during initial use.
6. When cooking is complete, turn heat control to OFF. Remove plug from wall outlet and then remove magnetic coupler end from heat
control. Allow appliance to cool and detach heat control from multi-cooker before cleaning.
