Multi-function Cooking Pot

The cooking pot of KY-509 is suitable for searing on gas or induction cooktops.
Before applying on different cooktop, please read below care instructions.

When using on General Cooktop
Use low to medium heat to ensure the most efficient performance of your cookware.
Lower temperatures will also assist in retaining your foods natural moisture and flavours.
High heat should only be used for searing over very short periods of time.
ALWAYS USE a heat source smaller than the diameter of the cookware base. This will ensure you are getting the most efficient cooking performance from your cookware.
Never leave an empty cookware item on a hot burner or element.
Avoid leaving your cookware on a burner or element unattended for long periods of time.
Never leave empty cookware on a hot burner or allow cookware to boil dry.
Always allow your cookware to cool down before washing/ cleaning it.
Always use potholders when handling hot cookware.
Do not use cookware under a broiler, over a campfire, in a microwave oven or on a gas grill.
Do not heat or leave empty cookware on a hot burning for more than 3 minutes.
Always place hot cookware on heat-resistant surface such as a wooden cutting board.

When using on induction Cooktop.
Take care that the base of the cooking pot is perfectly clean to avoid anything getting trapped between the pan and the cooktop or scratching the surface of the cooktop.
Induction is a very rapid heat transfer source. Do not overheat or rapidly heat up empty pots or pans as excessive heat can damage the cookware or cooktop.
A buzzing sound may occur when the heat setting is high. This is due to a technicality and does not indicate a fault either in the hob or in the cookware.
Always dry the base of the cooking pot before cooking, otherwise the pot may stick to the hob.

Deep Fryer

IMPORTANT! Use only standard brand of vegetable shortening or cooking

oil when using the deep fryer function. Frying food in butter, margarine, olive oil or animal fat is not recommended due to lower smoking temperatures.

CAUTION: NEVER LEAVE THE UNIT UNATTENDED DURING USE.

1. Pour oil into the cooking pot up to the MAX line. Never go over the MAX mark as this may allow the oil overflow when food is added.
2. Turn the function dial to DEEP FRYER, adjust the cooking time and temperature if necessary, then press START/STOP button to start preheating.
3. Place the food in frying basket.

IMPORTANT! BEFORE FRYING, REMOVE EXCESS MOISTURE FROM FOOD BY BLOTTING WITH KITCHEN PAPER OR SIMILAR. MOIST FOODS CAUSE EXCESS FOAMING AND OIL SPATTER.

CAUTION: TO AVOID SCALDING FROM HOT OIL, DO NOT ADD WET OR FROZEN FOOD INTO COOKING OIL. EVEN SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER OR MOISTURE TRAPPED IN FROZEN FOOD MAY CAUSE THE OIL TO SPATTER.

• Use caution when deep frying flour tortillas. Flour tortillas contain air bubbles. During deep frying, oil can then become trapped within these bubbles and, if not properly drained these bubbles can burst and cause burns. Therefore, after deep frying tortillas, carefully raise them out of the cooking oil and allow oil to drain from the tortillas for at least 30 seconds.

4. When frying temperature is reached the timer will begin counting down the cooking time.
