 heat control, 

avoid rough handling 

during use and storage. 

Store the cord assembly 

in a clean, dry loca-

tion away from metal 

objects. Always check 

the magnetic coupler 

end before use to assure 

metal items have not 

become attached.

  HOW TO USE

Before initial use, and after each subsequent use, wash appliance 

in dishwasher or in warm sudsy water, rinse, and dry. 

Do not im-

merse heat control or magnetic cord assembly in water or let 

them come in contact with any liquid.

 Prior to first use, “season” 

the multi-cooker’s cooking surface by rubbing lightly with cooking 

oil. Remove excess oil with paper towel.
For best results use nylon, plastic, wooden, or rubber utensils to turn, 

stir, or remove food when not using the steam/fry basket. The use 

of metal utensils is not recommended.

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. 
1.  Prepare  food  for  cooking  according  to  recipe  (see  pages  5  to 

12).

2.  Place multi-cooker on a dry, level, heat resistant surface.
3.  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. D). 

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. 

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 

during 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.

   

4.  Plug  the  multi-cooker  into  a 

120v AC  electrical  polarized 

outlet only.

5.  Set  the  heat  control  at  the 

temperature  specified  in  the 

recipe. The  pilot  light  will  go 

out when selected temperature 

is reached. During cooking, the 

pilot  light  will  go  on  and  off 

indicating temperature is being 

maintained.

6.  Simmer:  To  find  the  simmer 

point (just below boiling), heat 

pan at 400˚ until the food boils 

then turn the control down until 

the light goes out. If you don’t 

want food to boil, start at Warm 

and  increase  heat  until  you 

reach the simmer point.
