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 appliance by the power cord.
Take care not to entangle in the power cord. Always grasp the plug to disconnect
the power cord. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands when the appliance
is connected to the power supply.
• Do not place or immerse the appliance or the power cord in water or any other
liquid. Do not spill or drip any liquids on the power cord or exterior of the appli-
ance. When liquids are spilled on the appliance or power cord, immediately
switch off and unplug the appliance.
HIGH TEMPERATURES – RISK OF BURNS
The multicooker is designed for cooking and heating a variety of foods and, there-
fore, the interior of the appliance will get very hot during operation.
• Because 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.
• Always position steam vent on lid away from yourself to avoid scalding from
escaping steam.
• Even with the lid properly closed, steam will escape from the pot seam and 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 glass lid. In the steam vent
and at the interior of the lid condensate could accumulate and drip and, additi-
onally, large amounts of steam could escape from under the lid, when opening
the lid. When opening the appliance, keep a sufficient distance to avoid scalds.
•
Do not cook any high-proof alcoholic liquor or alcoholic foodstuffs (e.g.
mulled wine, grog) within the appliance to avoid risk of explosion and
fire.
