off ers a wide range of choices including Low Temp 

Cooking, Stewing, Steaming and much more.

•  Cooking  and  Start  Times  for  most  functions 

may be adjusted to suit any recipe or personal 

preference. At the completion of the cooking 

cycle, the unit will automatically shift to the KEEP 

WARM mode.

•  The  STEAM  mode  heats  cooking  liquid  in  the 

Inner Pot to a boil in a matter of minutes, for 

steaming and cooking an endless variety of foods.

• The KEEP WARM mode holds and keeps cooked 

food warm for an extended period of time. Foods 

kept at KEEP WARM mode for periods beyond 4 

hours may lose their good fl avor and texture.

CAUTION: 

While unit is in use, always protect 

your skin from any contact with escaping steam.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS 

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce

the risk resulting from becoming entangled in 

or tripping over a longer cord. Do not use an 

extension cord with this product.

ELECTRIC POWER

If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other

appliances, your appliance may not operate

properly. It should be operated on a dedicated

electrical circuit.

NOTE :

 This product must be grounded. If it 

should malfunction or break down, grounding 

provides a path of least resistance for electric 

current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This 

product is equipped with a cord having an equip-

ment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. 

The plug must be plugged into an appropriate 

outlet that is properly installed and grounded in 

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

SPECIAL FEATURES

the Inner Pot, turning it slightly clockwise and 

counterclockwise until you are sure it is sitting 

correctly on the heater plate. Failure to do so will 

prevent proper operation and may cause damage 

to the unit.

•  CAUTION:  HOT  SURFACES.  This  appliance 

generates heat and escaping steam during use. 

Proper precautions must be taken to prevent 

the  risk  of  personal  injury,  fi res,  and  damage  to 

property.

Additional Safety Tips:

1. The Power Multi-Cooker

TM

 operates at very 

high temperatures and will produce large amounts 

of steam. Use extreme caution when opening 

cooker during and after the cooking cycle. When 

lifting the hinged cover, keep hands and face 

away from the cooker to avoid steam.

2. If a recipe calls for the sautéing of butter or oil, 

use extreme caution, as you would when cooking 

with other high-temperature appliances. The 

Inner Pot will be hot. Use a long-handled plastic 

or wooden spoon for stirring. DO NOT USE the 

short-handled serving spatula for this type of 

cooking.

3. It is important to remember that the rice and 

risotto cooking cycles of the cooker are controlled 

by the temperature of the Inner Pot. When liquid 

boils  off ,  the  temperature  will  rise,  causing  the 

rice cooker to automatically shift into the low 

temperature KEEP WARM mode. This is fi ne for 

making rice dishes but if a recipe calls for making 

soups, or in other recipes where large quantities 

of  liquid  are  used,  the  cooker  will  not  shut  off  

until all liquid is boiled away. Follow the recipe 

carefully and do not leave the cooker unattended 

as it will continue to cook at high temperatures 

when making soups, stews and chilis. Monitor 

the cooking process. MANUALLY TURN OFF the 

cooker whe

n

 the time that the recipe stipulates 

has elapsed.
