FAQs

Q: Can I use the multi-cooker without the cooking pot?

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY POLARIZED PLUG

North American models with polarized plugs:

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS:

A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk resulting from it being grabbed by children, becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.

NOTICES

Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. Do not set the heated multi-cooker on a finished wood table. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet under your multi-cooker to prevent possible damage to the surface.
During the initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur after a few uses.
Please use caution when placing your cooking pot on a ceramic or smooth glass cooktop stove, countertop, table, or other surface. It may scratch some surfaces if caution is not used. Always place heat-resistant protective padding under the cooking pot before setting it on a table, countertop, or other surface.
Steam release from the lid rim may occur during pressurization.

BEFORE USING YOUR MULTI-COOKER

Remove all parts of the multi-cooker from the packaging.

Wash all the accessories in warm soapy water using a non-abrasive sponge.
Rinse and dry thoroughly. NEVER immerse the main unit in water. Place the multi-cooker on a flat, level, heat-resistant surface.
Turn on and run a baking cycle in a well-ventilated area for 10 minutes to remove the odor.
The aluminum cooking pot is suitable for searing on gas or induction cooktops. Please read the instructions below carefully.

NOTE: DO NOT use metal utensils, as they will scratch the nonstick coating on the pot.

USING ON A GENERAL COOKTOP

Use low to medium heat to ensure the most efficient performance of your cooking pot.
Lower temperatures will also assist in retaining your food’s natural moisture and flavors.
High heat should only be used for searing over very short periods of time.
Avoid leaving your cooking pot on a burner or element unattended for long periods of time.
Never leave empty cooking pot on a hot burner or allow cookware to boil dry.
Always allow the cooking pot to cool down before washing/cleaning it.
Always use potholders when handling hot cooking pots.
Do not use the cooking pot under a broiler, over a campfire, in a microwave oven, or on a gas grill.
Always place the hot cooking pot on a heat-resistant surface such as a wooden cutting board.
Take care that the bottom of the cooking pot is perfectly clean to avoid anything getting trapped between the cooking pot and inside the main unit.
Induction is a very rapid heat transfer source. Do not overheat or rapidly heat up an empty cooking pot as excessive heat may cause damage.

WARNING

Spilled food can cause serious burns.
Keep appliances & cords away from children.

Never:

Drape cord over the edge of the counter.
Use the outlet below the counter.
Use an extension cord.
