The appliance should always remain unplugged from the outlet when not in
use. After using the appliance, turn off the power and gently unplug it from
the outlet. Do not jerk or pull the power cord. Unplug the unit and let it cool
down for 30 minutes before cleaning or storing it.
• To protect yourself from electric shock, do not immerse the base, cord, or
power plug in water or any other liquid.
• Before installing or removing any parts, be sure that the appliance has
cooled completely.
• Only use parts that are authorized by the manufacturer in order to avoid
injury or damage.
•
Should the inner temperature control system fail, the overheating protection
system will be activated and the unit will not function. Should this happen,
unplug the power cord. Allow time for the unit to cool completely before
restarting or storing.
• While cooking, the appliance’s internal temperature reaches several
hundred degrees Fahrenheit. To avoid injury, never place hands inside the
unit unless it is fully cooled.
• The outer surfaces may become hot during use. The rotating mesh basket
WILL be hot. Wear oven mitts or use the fetch tool when handling hot
components or surfaces.
•
Should the unit emit black smoke, unplug immediately and wait for smoking
to stop before removing oven contents.
•
When operating, air is released through the air outlet vent. Keep your hands
and face at a safe distance from the vent. Also avoid the air while removing
the rotating mesh basket from the unit.
• When the time has run out, cooking will stop but the fan will continue
running for 20 seconds to cool the unit down.
• Do not fill the inner pot more than two-thirds full. When cooking food that
may expand, like rice, dried vegetables, or beans, do not fill more than half
of the pot. Overfilling may cause injury or damage.
•
Always use the correct amount of liquid called for in recipes and instructions.
• To prevent food contact with the interior upper screen and heat element,
do not overfill the rotating mesh basket.
