IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Failure to follow these instructions and warnings may cause personal injury or death
and/or property damage. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and/or injury to
persons, basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical
appliances, including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS, PRODUCT LABELS AND WARNINGS BEFORE USE.
2. Close adult supervision is necessary when this appliance is in use or is used near
children. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
3. This appliance is not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction.
4. Please use extreme caution when removing lid. Burns may result from residual steam
escaping from inside the pot. Lift the lid with lid bottom facing away from you and
allow the drops of water to trickle back from the lid into the pot.
5. Keep hands and face away from the lid and steam vents during operation of the
appliance. Do not remove the lid while water is boiling.
6. Do not touch the appliance’s hot surfaces. When in use, the exterior walls and the
heating unit attached to the base of the pot will become very hot to the touch. Always
use the silicone handles.
7. Do not fill pot over the max fill line indicated on the inside of the pot. Overfilling may
result in boil over. Do not fill pot under the minimum fill line indicated on the inside
of the pot. Underfilling may result in complete water evaporation before desired
process time is complete.
8. DO NOT DRY HEAT THE APPLIANCE. ALWAYS FILL THE POT FIRST WITH THE
RECOMMENDED AMOUNT OF WATER OR LIQUID. Then add canning jars or other
ingredients. This will help to ensure long life for your appliance.
9. Do not lift or move appliance during operation and/or while hot.
10. Base does not permanently attach to the pot. USE CARE WHEN LIFTING POT FROM
BASE. Do not move the appliance by simply lifting it up by the handles as it easily
detaches from the base.
11. Do not remove pot full of water from the base. Drain the water using the spigot prior
to removing from the base.
12. Do not leave appliance unattended.
13. Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of table or countertop. Do not allow the
cord to come into contact with hot or wet surfaces.
14. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the power cord, power plug, pot or
detachable base in water or any other liquids.
15. Do not operate appliance with a damaged power cord or power plug, power
terminals, or operate appliance after it malfunctions, or has been damaged in
any manner.
16. Always attach power plug to the appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet.
To disconnect, turn the dial counterclockwise to “Off,” then remove plug from the
wall outlet.
17. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting
on or taking off parts.
18. Always use appliance in a well-ventilated area. Do not operate appliance directly
under hanging cabinets.
19. Do not place any part of this appliance on or near a hot gas stove or electric burner or
in a heated oven.
20. Place the appliance on a hard, flat, heat-resistant surface while in use. This will allow
proper airflow underneath the appliance to keep components cool and reduce the risk
of electrical fire.
