plug the cord into the wall outlet. To dis-

connect, turn any control to “cancel”, then 

remove plug from wall outlet. 

19.  Make sure the heating element, tempera-

ture sensor and the outside of the inner 

pot are clean and dry before putting plug 

in power outlet.

20.  Make sure your hands are dry before

shock. 

24. Use only on properly grounded outlet. 

25.  A short power-supply (or detachable pow-

er-supply cord) should be used to reduce 

the risk resulting from becoming entangled 

in or tripping over a longer cord.

26.  Extension cords may be used if care is 

exercised in their use. If an extension cord 

is used:  The marked electrical rating of 

the cord must be as great as the rating of 

the appliance.  The longer cord should be 

arranged so that it will not drape over the 

edge of the counter or table top where 

it could be pulled by children or tripped 

over unintentionally. If the appliance is of 

grounded type, the extension cord should 

be a grounded-type 3-wire cord.

27.  CAUTION: To ensure continued protec-

tion against risk of electric shock, connect 

to properly grounded outlets only. Risk 

of electric shock, cook only in removable 

inner pot.

28.  Do not place any of the following materials 

in the appliance: paper, cardboard, plastic 

and the like. 

29.  This appliance is not intended to be oper-

ated by means of an external timer or a 

separate remote control system.

peratures which may cause burns. Do 

not touch hot surfaces, parts or inside of 

appliance while operating. Allow appliance 

to cool down completely before moving, 

handling or cleaning.

32.  During cooking, hot steam is released 

through the steam vent openings or when 

you open the lid. Keep hands and face away

plied multicooker measuring cup. 

  The quantity of water depends on the amount 

of food in the steam basket. 

Do not immerse the steam basket in water. 

 2 

Pour the water into the inner pot. 

 3 

Put the steam basket into the inner pot.

ket and put it in the inner pot to steam food 

directly. Do not immerse the bottom in water. 

 4 

Put the food or plate of food on top of the  

    bottom of the steam basket. 

 5

beeps and the multicooker switches to “Keep 

Warm” mode automatically and the progres-

sion of minutes will show on the display 

screen. 

  To cancel an ongoing cooking process, press 

and hold the “Start/Cancel” button for 3 sec-

onds. The multicooker will be in standby mode. 

  To switch off, unplug the multicooker.  

 9   

Open the lid and carefully take out the food 

from the plate or steam basket. 

Important:

 

•  Keep hands and face away from steam and air 

outlet openings.

•   Do not cook food in the inner pot and use the 

steam 

basket

 at the same time, otherwise the 

feet of the detachable bottom might be in con-

tact with the food. 

•  During steaming, make sure that food in the 

steam 

basket

 does not exceed the MAX indica-

tion on the inside of the steam basket, other-

wise the steam vent hole will be blocked, and 

pressure will build up inside of the appliance, 

causing the top lid to burst open. 

•  Do not put more than 2kg (4.5 lb) of food in 

the steam basket, as the steam basket might slip 

into the inner pot and the detachable bottom 

might fall off.
