the cooking pot provided. Do not pour
water or food directly into the appliance.

If you inadvertently immerse your
appliance in water or spill water directly on
the heating element (when the pot is not
in place), take it to your service centre for
repair.

• Do not store your appliance with the lid
closed.
• Do not carry the appliance by its handle.
Use the 2 carrying handles to transport the
product.
