Before First Use
Become familiar with the various parts of the multi-cooker (Fig. D) and read the instructions carefully. Prior to the first use, wash the
multi-cooker according to the “CARE AND CLEANING” instructions on page 4.
This versatile electric multi-cooker braises, blanches, boils, deep fries, steams and more. It is also great for making soups, stews, and
desserts.
CAUTION!
This product is not intended to melt wax, gels, plastics, or other materials for making candles or for other hobbyist
activities or in any commercial or business application.
How To Use
For best results use nylon, plastic, wooden, or rubber utensils to turn, stir, or remove food when not using the steam/fry basket. Do not
use metal utensils as they may scratch the nonstick surface.
1.
Place multi-cooker on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface.
The cover should not be on the multi-cooker.
CAUTION!
To avoid personal injury, position multi-cooker well back from edge of counter or table. Do not let cord hang or drape
over edge of counter or table within reach of children.
2. Insert the probe end of the heat control into the multi-cooker so the two electrical pins on the appliance are fully inserted into the heat
control. Then attach the magnetic cord assembly to the heat control by aligning the magnetic coupler end with the two electrical pins
located on the back of the heat control (Fig. E). Due to the fact that the magnetic coupler end is polarized, it can only be attached
to the heat control one way. When properly aligned, the plug will magnetically attach itself to the heat control. Attach the cord so
that the printed patent information on the magnetic plug is facing up. The daisy and cautionary language will be facing towards the
counter. If positioned upside down, it will not attach.
IMPORTANT:
The magnetic cord was designed to detach easily from the multi-cooker. As a result, if it is bumped or touched dur-
ing use, it could possibly detach, causing the unit to stop heating. Avoid contact with cord during operation. If contact occurs, verify
that the cord is still properly connected.
3. Plug the multi-cooker into a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
4. Using the index on page 4, determine the type of cooking method you will be following and turn to the referenced page.
5. Preheat multi-cooker as indicated in the cooking method and follow the cooking instructions. During cooking, the pilot light will go
on and off indicating temperature is being maintained.
NOTE:
Occasionally you may hear a pop or clicking sound while the multi-
cooker is preheating. This is normal and a sign of fast heatup. You may also notice this sound as the unit cools down.
When using the multi-cooker for the first time, a slight odor or light smoking may occur as manufacturing residue evaporates. This
is normal during initial use.
6. When cooking is complete, turn heat control to “OFF”. Remove plug from wall outlet and then remove magnetic coupler end from
heat control. Allow appliance to cool and detach heat control from multi-cooker before cleaning.
To assure the continued accuracy of the Control Master
heat control, avoid rough handling during use and storage.
Store the cord assembly in a clean, dry location away
from metal objects. Always check the magnetic coupler
end before use to assure metal items have not become
attached.
