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.

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.
