CLEANING BEFORE FIRST USE

Carefully clean your freshTECH Water Bath Multi-Cooker appliance before first use.

1.  Remove all components from the box and lay out separately on the countertop next 

to the sink.

appliance is not plugged into the power outlet before cleaning. 

3.  Ensure that the detachable base (part 7 on page 5) and power cord inlet stay dry.  

DO NOT submerge the detachable base in water or place in the dishwasher. If any 

water should happen to enter the power inlet, it must be dried before the appliance 

can be used. 

4.  Wash lid, canning rack, steaming & diffuser rack and spigot (see cleaning spigot 

instructions on page 12) in warm soapy water or dishwasher. Rinse well and dry.

5.  Fill pot half-full with warm water. Add mild dish soap and wash the inside of the pot 

using a soft cloth. Open the spigot to let soapy water drain into the sink. Fill pot half-

full with warm water. Rinse inside of pot using a clean soft cloth. Open the spigot to 

let water drain into the sink. Repeat process until all soap is removed from the pot.

6.  All exterior surfaces of pot and base should be wiped down with a slightly  

damp cloth.

7.  Your appliance is now ready for assembly!

ASSEMBLY

1.  Place the base on the countertop next to the sink with spigot positioned over the sink

pot to the dial on the base. Slowly lower the pot onto the base such that the pot nests 

into the base. See images below.
