– After finishing work, always switch off the appliance and disconnect it from power supply
by taking the power cord connector out of the electric socket.
– Do not switch on the pot without the inserted container.
– Never cook legumes (such as dry beans and lentils), always let them soak in water for
ten hours before cooking (see instructions on the package).
– Water or any other liquid cannot get into the inner part of the appliance, i.e. between the
base and the internal container.
– If the internal container is hot,
do not immerse it into cold water or do not wash
it under stream of running cold water!
Sudden change in temperature could cause
damage to the container.
– Use plastic or wooden kitchen utensils for mixing and ladling meals as metal utensils
may damage the surface of the internal container.
– The appliance is equipped with the heat safety lock which disconnects power supply
if the steam sensor fails or if an empty container is turned on. If it happens, unplug the
appliance from power supply and let it cool down. Do not fill the pot with cold water in
order to cool it down quickly. This could reduce life of the heating element.
– Do not insert the appliance into any body holes.
– Never put the appliance close to objects or under objects that can be damaged by steam,
e.g. walls, kitchen cabinets, cupboards, paintings or curtains. Leaking steam could
damage them.
–
The appliance must not be used in damp or wet environment and in any environment
with the danger of fire or explosion
(spaces where chemicals, fuels, oils, gases,
paints and other flammable or volatile materials are stored).
– Do not place the appliance on unstable, fragile and flammable surfaces (e.g.
glass,
paper and plastic, varnished wooden plates and various fabrics/table cloths
).
– Use the appliance in the working position only at places with no risk of its turning over
and in sufficient distance from heat sources (e.g.
heater, electric/gas stove, cooker
,
etc.) and wet surfaces (
sinks, wash basins
, etc.).
–
When cooking, do not touch places where hot steam is coming out; there is a risk
of burning and scalding.
– When handling the container and the lid, use the protective kitchen gloves or a towel,
– The lid is made of tempered safety glass. The glass is firmer and more resistant against
breaking than ordinary glass. Tempered glass can be broken, but its splinters do not
have sharp edges. Make sure that scratching of the glass surface is prevented.
– Be careful when lifting the lid and always remove the lid away from your body.
– Do not let any objects on the lid of the pot during operation (e.g. protective gloves,
towels) that could cause covering the holes for steam outlet.
– Do not carry the appliance when it is hot; there is a risk of getting burned and scalded
in the case of possible tilting.
– Use handles for carrying the appliance!
– For maintenance or repairs, disassemble only those parts of the electric pot that are
mentioned in these instructions for use. Never disassemble the appliance or its parts and
do not replace them with other ones.
– Use the appliance only with the power cord that makes up its part! If the power cord is
damaged, never replace it with a power cord that is not of the same type.
– The power cord must not be damaged with sharp or hot objects, open fire and it must not
be sunk into water.
– Never put the power cord on hot surfaces or do not let it hang over the edge of a table
or a work top. Plugging or pulling the power cord e.g. by children can result in tilting over
or drawing the appliance down and serious injury!
