General Operating Instructions
1.
Before using the Power Multi-Cooker
TM
for the fi rst time, wash the Inner Pot, the Lid Liner and the
Rubber Gasket (illust. # 1) with warm soapy water. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.
Remove the Rubber Gasket and Lid Liner as shown below.
2.
Never fi ll the unit above the MAX LINE (illust. # 2) in the Inner Pot. When using foods that expand
during cooking such as rice or dried beans, follow the recipe for this appliance and as a rule of thumb,
do not fi ll the unit above the “halfway” point. Overfi lling may cause clogging and pressure build-up.
3.
Certain foods, such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split peas,
noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, and spaghetti, can foam, froth, sputter, and clog the Steam Vent (illust. #
3). Recipes using these items must be followed carefully to avoid problems.
4.
When the Lid is raised, condensation will collect in the Drip Cup (illust. # 4) after a meal is cooked.
The Drip Cup may be removed for easy cleaning.
