   WARNING: 

Place the vent hole on the lid facing away from you. 

   WARNING: 

Use oven mitts when moving the unit, opening the lid, and when inserting or removing food.

NOTE

:  Foods or sauces that are high in sugar (like barbecue sauce) or oils with a low smoke point (like olive oil) are prone to burning 

when exposed to high heat. To avoid burning these foods when cooking them in Stove Top High mode, limit cook time for high-
sugar foods and/or use oils with higher smoke points (like canola, peanut, sunflower, and safflower oils).
