Do not clean the heating surface with an abrasive scouring
pad or powder; doing so will damage the nonstick coating.

ing back on. You should:

1.

Unplug the hot pot and wait about 15 minutes for the 
heater to cool down.

2.

Refill the hot pot, then use as normal and check that the
hot pot functions correctly.
