Before First Use

Become familiar with the various parts of the 
multi-cooker (Fig. D) and read the instructions 
carefully.
This  versatile  electric  multi-cooker  braises, 
blanches, boils, deep fries, stews, steams, makes 
soups and desserts.
Caution: This product is not intended to melt 
wax, gels, plastics, or other materials for mak-
ing candles or for other hobbyist activities or 
in any commercial or business application. 

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 immerse 

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.
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 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.  

3.  Plug the multi-cooker into a 120v AC electrical polarized 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 cook-

ing instructions. During cooking, the pilot light will go on and off indicating 
temperature is being maintained.

  Note: 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.
