the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad, ensure that safe operation is
possible.
• Do not to use any extension cords or multisocket outlets.
• Always handle the power cord with care. Always completely unwind the power cord before
use. Do not place the appliance on a power cord. Power cords may never be knotted, twisted,
pulled, strained or squeezed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of the
table or counter. The power cord may not touch hot surfaces. Ensure that no one will pull the

not spill or drip any liquids on the power cord or exterior of the appliance. When liquids are
spilled on the appliance or power cord, immediately switch off and unplug the appliance.
high temperatures – risk of Burns
The multicook is designed for cooking and heating a variety of foods and, therefo-
re, the interior of the appliance will get very hot during operation.
•
Because inner pot, lid and interior of the appliance are very hot during operation
and shortly thereafter, do not touch these parts with your hands, arms or any other
parts or your body or any heat- or moisture-sensitive objects. Do not place the pot on any heat-
sensitive surfaces, shortly after operation. If required, protect your hands and arms with pot
holders or oven gloves.
• Even with the lid properly closed, steam will escape from the steam vent during operation
and shortly thereafter.
During operation and immediately thereafter do not hold
your hands, arms or face over the appliance to avoid scalds caused by steam
escaping from the steam vent in the lid.
In the steam vent and at the interior of the lid
condensate could accumulate and drip and, additionally, large amounts of steam could es-
cape from under the lid, when opening the lid. When opening the appliance, keep a sufficient
distance to avoid scalds.
ceramic coating
The inner pot of your multicook is provided with a ceramic coating. Do not use hard or sharp
objects for scratching, mixing or cutting on the coatings. Do not use the inner pot as a mixing
bowl. Always remove your foods from the pot, before mixing or cutting. We will not be liable
for damage to the ceramic coating, if metal utensils or similar objects have been used.
Please adhere to the following precautions:
• Do not use the inner pot with the ceramic coating being scratched, cracked or detached due
to overheating.
• Only use wooden or heat-resistant plastic cooking utensils to stir and serve the food. Do not
use any spray-on ceramic coatings.
• The ceramic surface minimises the effort of cleaning. Do not use abrasive scourers or abra
-
sive cleaners for cleaning. Even stubborn residues can be removed via a soft sponge or soft
nylon brush and warm dishwater.
