IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

19. UNPLUG THE APPLIANCE from the outlet when not 

in use and before cleaning. Allow the appliance to 

cool before attaching or removing parts.

20. NEVER immerse the appliance base in water. If the 

appliance falls or accidentally becomes immersed in 

water, unplug it from the wall outlet immediately. Do 

not reach into liquid if the appliance is plugged in and 

immersed. DO NOT immerse or rinse cords or plugs 

in water or other liquids.

21. To prevent risk of injury, replace only with authorized 

parts as recommended by Tristar.

22. NEVER leave cookware or Inner Pot empty over a hot 

burner. This could damage the Inner Pot.

23. NEVER put your cookware in the microwave or 

toaster oven. This is a hazard that can cause electric 

sparks or fire and could possibly damage the 

appliances and your cookware.

24. DO NOT handle hot cookware without hand 

protection. Use care and oven mitts when cooking 

because the Inner Pot, its handles, and the appliance 

will become hot.

25. This product is for indoor home use only.  

DO NOT use outdoors or in a commercial setting.

26. DO NOT use aerosol cooking sprays. These sprays will 

build up on cookware and become difficult to remove 

while reducing the non-stick coating performance.

27. DO NOT use sharp utensils with the appliance. These 

implements can damage the appliance’s protective 

nonstick coating.

28. This appliance is not intended for deep frying foods. 

Extreme caution must be used when moving the 

appliance when it contains hot liquids or hot oil.

29. The use of accessory attachments not recommended 

by Tristar may cause injuries. Only use the provided 

vessel and approved parts to avoid damage to the 

appliance.

30. DO NOT put any food or liquid in the base of  

the appliance.

31. Risk of electrical shock. Cook only in removable 

container. Only use the Base with the Inner Pot.

32. Before using your new appliance on any 

COUNTERTOP surface, check with your countertop 

manufacturer or installer for recommendations 

about using appliances on your surfaces. Some 

manufacturers and installers may recommend 

protecting your surface by placing a hot pad or 

trivet under the appliance for heat protection. Your 

manufacturer or installer may recommend that hot 

pans, pots, or electrical appliances should not be 

used directly on top of the countertop. If you are 

unsure, place a trivet or hot pad under the appliance 

before using it.

33. Always attach the plug to the appliance first and then 

plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, press 

the Cancel Button and then remove the plug from the 

wall outlet.

34. Oversized foods or metal utensils/containers must not 

be inserted into the appliance as they may create a fire 

or risk of electric shock.

35. DO NOT clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can 

break off the pad and touch electrical parts, which 

involves a risk of electric shock.

36. This appliance is for home use only. If the appliance 

is used improperly or for professional or semi-

professional purposes or if it is not used according 

to the instructions in the user manual, the guarantee 

becomes invalid and Tristar will not be held liable  

for damages. 

37. Avoid touching moving parts. 
38. NEVER pour oil into the appliance. Fire and personal 

injury may result.

39. USE EXTREME CAUTION when disposing of  

hot grease.
