SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be observed. Please read and follow these warnings and instructions:

• This appliance is intended for household countertop use only. Do not use this appliance for commercial purposes. Do not use it outdoors. Using it for unintended purposes will invalidate the warranty.
• Keep the appliance and cord out of the reach of children and pets. The appliance should only be used under adult supervision.
• If the appliance or its power cord has been damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a service technician, or a similarly qualified person, in order to prevent the hazard. Do not attempt to modify this appliance.
• Do not use the machine for purposes not specified in this manual.
• To protect yourself from electric shock, do not immerse the main unit, cord, or power plug in water or any other liquid.
• Only plug the machine into grounded outlets. Be sure to use a power outlet with an AC voltage of 120V.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot food, water, or other hot liquids.
• Lift and open the cover carefully to avoid scalding.
• Warning! Spilled food can cause serious burns. Keep appliances and cords away from children. Never drape the cord over the edge of the counter, never use outlet below the counter, and never use with an extension cord.
• First, attach the plug to the appliance, and then plug the cord into the outlet. Keep the cord away from hot surfaces. Do not touch the plug or operate the unit with wet hands.
• Do not attempt to alter, disassemble, or repair the machine.
• Do not use external force on the dispense valve.
• The appliance should always remain unplugged from the outlet when not in use. After operating, turn off the power and gently unplug the machine from the outlet. Do not jerk or pull the power cord. Unplug the unit and let it cool down for 30 minutes before cleaning or storing, as the heating element will be hot. Avoid contact with skin.
• Keep the machine cover closed during operation.
• Avoid contact with the steam cover.

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

RECOMMENDATIONS & NOTES

• This product uses steam to cook. After frequent use, the steam generator may be blocked by incrustation. To avoid this, make sure to use purified water below 122°F.
• For rice and multigrain, refer to the water scale marked in the pot. Less water is needed compared to normal heating rice cookers.
• The built-in self-clean function for the steam generator keeps the multicooker working properly. When it senses that the steam generator needs to be cleaned, an alarm will sound to indicate that the self-clean process needs to be activated. The self-clean process can also be run at any time to maintain a clean product.
• For all settings, be sure the water does not exceed the Max line on the scale.
• The Steam Bar must be locked in place before using the machine unless it is set to the Steam or Cake program.
  A reminder will sound to ensure that the Steam Bar is installed before use.
