When operating this electric appliance, basic safety instructions should always be 

followed. Refer to the following for these instructions. 

1. READ ALL SAFETY & USAGE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING 

MULTICOOKER. 

2. EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION: AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK. DO NOT 

immerse cord, plugs or the Multicooker Base in water or other liquid. 

3. Do not touch the Multicooker Base or Removable Cooking Pot while hot.

on a stovetop. 

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY 

SAFETY INFORMATION 

4. Do not open the Multicooker Lid during cooking, unless the Deep Fry Mode 

is in use. Opening the Lid causes the cooking temperature to drop and also 

increases the cooking time as a result. Use pot holders if the Lid must be 

opened and stand well away from any escaping steam. 

5. Do not place metal plates, trays or other objects in the Multicooker, other 

than the accessories that are intended for use with the Multicooker, as they 

may cause fire and/or short circuit damage. 

6. UNPLUG the Multicooker from outlet when not in use or before cleaning. 

Allow the Multicooker to cool before cleaning. Do not let cord hang over 

edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces. 

Magnetic Breakaway Cord Set: This power 

cord is intended to be attached to the 

Multicooker and only removed from the 

appliance when absolutely necessary. The 

female end of this cord that plugs into your 

Multicooker has magnetized strips to attach 

securely to the appliance. 

This cord set operates safely and effectively when placed on a counter near 

an electrical outlet. However, if someone pulls on the cord, it will quickly and 

smoothly break away from the Multicooker, preventing the Multicooker from 

tipping over and spilling hot oil, liquid or foods. This helps prevent burns. 

7. Children should never use the Multicooker; close supervision is required 

when appliance is used near children. 

8. Operate the Multicooker on a level surface well away from any hot gas or 

electrical burner, heat source, combustible spray cans or pressurized items. 

The Multicooker must be level for optimal performance. 

9. DO NOT operate the Multicooker outdoors. 

10. Never operate the Multicooker with a damaged cord or plug or one that has 

malfunctioned or been damaged in any way. Immediately contact Customer 

Service for analysis.

FEATURES & FUNCTIONS

A. Multicooker Base: The Multicooker Base is equipped with built-in EasyLift Handle 

grooves and houses the heating unit and Pre-programmed Control Panel. The Base 

holds the Removable Cooking Pot and the Tempered Dome Glass Lid. 

B.Tempered Dome Glass Lid : An important feature of the Multicooker is the heatresistant 

Tempered Dome Glass Lid. Designed as a full viewing window, the Lid 

allows observation of the cooking process without opening the Lid. The Lid includes 

a rubberized safety seal which helps lock moisture into the Pot, providing nutrient 

retention and tender roasting and slow-cooking results. Opening the Lid while 

cooking is not recommended, as it reduces the temperature, creating a longer cook 

time. When deep frying, the Lid should remain off for safety. 

To open the Lid after cooking, use the handle on top to lift the Lid up and away from 

your face. Care should be taken when opening the Lid, as the collected steam may 

be hot. Use pot holders, if needed, to open the Lid and stand well away from any 

escaping steam. Place the Lid on a water-resistant surface. Remove the hot food with 

tongs or utensils as needed. 

C. EasyLift Handle Grooves: The engineered EasyLift Handle Grooves on the 

Multicooker Base allow for the safe movement of the Base, particularly when cleaning 

or moving after use. The Multicooker Base should only be moved while it is unplugged 

and cool to the touch. The Grooves allow the user to safely remove food or liquids as 

needed. 


D. Removable Cooking Pot: The die cast aluminum Removable Cooking Pot holds the 

Accessory Racks and Basket. The Removable Cooking Pot has a wide wrap-around lip 

for easy lifting and movement and the interior is nonstick for easy clean-up. Wait until 

the Pot has cooled completely before moving to clean up.

STEP BY STEP COOKING 

Inside your Multicooker, there are 18 Cooking Modes, including the Keep Warm 

feature. With the versatility of this Multicooker, the 18 Cooking Modes are only the 

starting place to create delicious and amazing dishes. Various times and temperatures 

have been pre-set by the factory, so you can either use the Cooking Modes in a simple 

1-2-3 Step process, or you can start with a Cooking Mode and add or subtract times 

and temperatures to vary the results from there. Note that not all Modes include 

variable times and temperatures and some do not include Delay Start, as food-borne 

bacteria makes these options potentially unsafe within certain Modes. 

The following Cooking Modes can all be utilized in the Multicooker and we encourage 

you to experiment, trying different dishes and classic favorites, as well. The sky is the 

limit with your Multicooker! 

I. Cook with Pre-programmed Cooking Mode

ALWAYS use the Removable Cooking Pot for baking. Place prepared ingredients in the 

Removable Cooking Pot, place the Lid on the Pot and watch carefully during baking 

to avoid burning. Baked foods in the Deluxe Multicooker will cook faster than normal 

bake times. 

The heating element is close to the bottom of the Removable Cooking Pot. If baking 

a heavy-density food, such as cheesecake, use the interior Rack to ensure the bottom 

does not burn before the top of the cake is cooked.

Pan frying is especially easy in the Multicooker. Add a few inches of oil to the 

Removable Cooking Pot (or Frying Basket) and select the Fry Mode. When the oil is 

hot, add chicken pieces, fish fillets, turkey cutlets, pork chops or almost any other 

cut of meat, poultry or fish and fry to a golden brown. Turn at least once while frying 

to ensure the food is well-cooked and ensure that you’ve cooked foods all the way 

through by using an instant-read thermometer. 

Pan frying potatoes or other vegetable combinations is equally easy – try sweet potato 

cubes, fried and dusted with cinnamon just before serving. Or make hash browned 

potatoes to serve with morning omelets. Use pan frying to add texture and flavor to all 

your family favorites! 

Snacks and appetizers can easily be prepared in the Multicooker. Add one tablespoon 

oil to the Removable Cooking Pot and let your imagination and creativity build perfect 

snacks for any occasion. Try quesadillas and guacamole for football parties, perfectly 

heated egg rolls, warm tacquitos with sour cream or twice-baked potato skins. The 

following hints and tips will help make your snacks wonderfully flavorful and cooked 

to perfection! 

Pour 1-2 tablespoons oil into the Removable Cooking Pot before adding foods. 

Add uniformly chopped onions, garlic, celery, carrots, herbs and other ingredients as 

desired. 

Use a long-handled wooden or heat-proof spoon or tongs to consistently turn and 

move the food around in the heated Pot. The foods can easily burn, so remember to 

turn them. 

Add sauces, wine, soy sauce or small amounts of seasoning as needed. Check food 

frequently to avoid burning.

ingredients and place in the Removable Cooking Pot. Follow the instructions for 

selecting the Defrost Mode and change the time for defrosting, if desired. Add a Delay

CHOCOLATE MODE 

The Keep Warm Mode is a great way to “heat and hold” foods until everyone is ready to 

eat. The Multicooker offers this convenience for up to 10 hours.

There are few sweet treats more luscious than warm, melted chocolate! This Mode 

allows you to melt and hold melted chocolate at the perfect temperature for fondue 

or use in other recipes. Use a high-quality chocolate for melting and add your favorite 

snack foods for dipping – try squares of pound cake, fresh strawberries, raspberries, 

shortbread cookies and other dessert delights. Use the Fondue Rack after dipping to 

allow the foods to drip before serving. 

A hot homemade pizza is one of the world’s greatest comfort food! Start with 

homemade dough (or frozen, thawed dough), place on the interior Rack and parbake 

on the Pizza Mode for 15 minutes at 320°F. Remove the dough and Rack and 

add toppings of your choice. Replace the pizza on the Rack and select the Pizza 

Mode again. Bake at the preset settings and remove. Let stand for a few minutes 

before serving. 

In this specialty Mode, you can also melt cheese to the perfect low temperature for 

fondue or simply as a dip. Use a soft, melting type cheese for best results. Spear bread 

cubes on fondue forks to soak up warm cheese, or try cheese with pretzels, crackers 

or other yummy combinations. Use the Fondue Rack and Fondue Forks to create an 

instant party!

Although toasting is typically done with a heating element on top of the food, this 

Multicooker will take care of toasting in a flash using the lower heating element! For 

example, just add thick slices of buttered bread to the Removable Cooking Pot and 

select the pre-set temperature and time. Flip the bread slices after 10 minutes and 

add thin slices of provolone cheese. Wait about 5-10 minutes, remove slices with a 

spatula and top each slice with fresh tomato slices. Toasted never tasted so good!

Soup practically cooks itself inside your Multicooker! Use the Soup Mode to set the 

time and temperature and walk away until it’s done. Here are some handy tips for 

usage: 

ALWAYS use the Removable Cooking Pot. Select cuts of meat such as chuck roast and 

chuck steak can be cubed and added to potatoes, grains or rice for hearty, yet tender 

meals. Meat should be no more than 2-inches thick and cut into 1-inch cubes. 

For a quick twist to save time, add frozen, thawed mixed vegetables for a nutritious 

boost to soup. Try easy classic recipes such as Chicken & Rice soup, Old-Fashioned Beef 

& Barley Soup or Split Pea & Bacon Soup. Each is hearty enough to serve with a salad 

and consider a full meal. On cold winter nights, serve soups with chicken or turkey over 

rice or pasta for incredible one-dish dinners.

Using little to no oil or butter, place your favorite garden-fresh vegetables in the 

Removable Cooking Pot. Add a few tablespoons water and replace the Lid on top. 

Select the Vegetable Mode and watch while your vegetables cook to perfection. Try 

a medley of colorful vegetables or use this Mode to sauté celery, onions and carrots 

before making soup. 

Homemade yogurt is a tart and tangy treat that is incredibly easy to make in the 

Multicooker. Use this Cooking Mode for a minimum of 4 hours and up to 10 hours to 

make thick, creamy and rich homemade yogurt. 

Place the Removable Cooking Pot into the Base. Fill up to halfway with water, 

depending on how many jars of yogurt you will be cooking. Place the interior Rack 

or the Steaming Rack in the Pot and add filled and lidded jars of yogurt into the 

Removable Cooking Pot. Set the Yogurt Mode for cooking. 

Follow your recipe directions carefully to ensure complete success. Remove jars when 

done and cool, then refrigerate until using.

Deep Frying in the Multicooker offers the perfect frying results – crispy and light 

exteriors with a tender interior to all your foods. Use the Frying Basket and EasyLift 

Handle to hold your ingredients and fit exactly right into the Multicooker. The secret 

to perfect results is the quick, high heat used for frying and, with the Multicooker, 

you’ll find the pre-set temperature is hot, but not smoking - perfect for your success. 

Choose appetizers, snacks, chicken or French fries and be prepared to receive all the 

compliments of your family and friends. 

The secret to a perfect Stir Fry is to prep the meat and vegetables before starting. 

Slice or cut each into very thin pieces in order to cook quickly at high heat. Stir while 

cooking, tossing food ingredients with soy sauce, sesame oil and seasonings for a quick 

boost of flavor. Serve right away – steaming hot is best! 

HOT POT MODE 


For tips to success, consider the following: use similar sized foods so frying times are 

the same for each batch. Do not fill the oil in the Multicooker beyond the MAX Fill Line 

indicator. Do not use the Lid while deep frying. 

Do not over-crowd the Frying Basket, remove moisture from the outside of foods, 

batter quickly and let foods drain before frying, and keep the oil clean by removing bits 

of cooked foods. Keep an eye on foods as they fry and turn each with tongs as needed.

This very popular form of Asian cooking is for all soup-style entrées that contain a 

bit of cooked meat, rice or udon noodles, freshly sliced vegetables and, often, hard 

cooked eggs. A hot pot meal may also contain large pieces of chicken or fish and other 

flavors combined with rice. The hot pot creates a one-dish dinner that is sure to satisfy 

everyone in the family.

Your Deluxe Multicooker will prepare hot cereal perfectly! Because there are many 

types of hot cereal and cooked grains, refer to your package instructions for exact 

measurements of grain-to-liquid for best results. 

Try inventive and fun dishes – add jam, fresh fruit, dried fruit and nuts for interest. 

ALWAYS use the Removable Cooking Pot when making hot cereal. Do not pre-soak 

grains, but rinse some in water, as desired. Add salt, if desired. 

Add 1 tablespoon butter to the hot cereal before cooking to help keep porridge from 

sticking and to add a depth of rich flavor. 

Add the Keep Warm Mode for up to 4 hours, if desired. Hot cereal will hold safely for 

this length of time at a low warm temperature.

The most tender and delicious large cuts of meat can be easily prepared using your 

Multicooker. Beef cuts such as chuck roasts and round tip roasts are economical, 

yet hearty and satisfying when cooked to perfection in the Meat Mode. Try a whole 

prepared chicken, stuffed with herbs and orange slices, a pork shoulder roast with 

garlic slices or a bone-in ham slathered with honey…no matter what cut you choose, 

your Meat Mode will make it super easy. The following hints and tips will help along 

the way: 

• Always use an instant-read meat thermometer to ensure your meat has cooked to the 

proper temperature. 

Grilling is the perfect midweek cooking choice when time is of the essence and 

everyone is hungry! Add one tablespoon oil to the Removable Cooking Pot and use 

the preset temperature and time for hamburger patties, steaks, chops and small slider 

turkey burgers. Turn burgers at least once to cook thoroughly and watch carefully to 

avoid burning foods as they grill. 

Slice vegetables or fruit for grilled flavors as well; try adding one tablespoon butter to 

the Removable Cooking Pot, add pineapple slices and grill for a few minutes on each 

side to soften. Top with a sprinkle of brown sugar and wait until it melts. Serve over ice 

cream for a delicious treat. 


• Make sure before cooking that your cut of meat fits the Removable Cooking Pot with 

the Lid securely in place. Place a bed of sliced onions on the bottom of the Pot, resting 

the roast on top, for superior flavor. Or create a bed of quartered potatoes or sliced 

lemons for poultry. The options are endless and the meat will be juicy and tender 

when ready to eat. 

• Pour 1-2 tablespoons canola oil in the Removable Cooking Pot. Cover with cleaned 

and quartered carrots, onions, potatoes or turnips and place meat on top of the 

vegetables. Add 2-3 cups broth and roast your one-dish dinner until hot and 

deliciously hearty. 

• When done cooking, move the roast to a cutting board and wrap or tent with 

aluminum foil to rest for 10 minutes. This will allow the meat juices to settle. Slice and 

serve after resting. 

• If you’d like to make gravy, use the Fry Mode to quickly heat the liquid in the 

Removable Cooking Pot after removing the roast. Stir and add ½ cup water mixed 

with 1-2 tablespoons cornstarch or flour to thicken the gravy. Add seasonings to 

flavor and continue stirring and heating for 5 minutes.

Steaming retains essential vitamins and minerals that can be lost through other 

cooking methods. Steaming also offers very tender results and, as such, is perfectly 

suited to seafood, vegetables and other foods that break down quickly with moist 

heat. Pour water into the Removable Cooking Pot below the Steaming Rack. Place 

foods either directly on the Rack or in a small, heat-resistant cookware on the Rack. 

The following hints and tips will help you create quick and easy steamed success with 

your Multicooker: 


• ALWAYS use the Steaming Rack inside the Removable Cooking Pot for steaming. 

Always use the Removable Cooking Pot as electrical shock can occur if the heating 

element is exposed to moisture or liquid. 

• Place the Rack inside the Removable Cooking Pot, then place food directly on the rack 

or inside a heatproof plate or dish on top of the rack. Make sure the Tempered Glass 

Lid can close completely before starting the Steam Mode. 

• Place at least 2-inches water in the Removable Cooking Pot to allow the Cooker to 

steam efficiently. If steaming for more than 30 minutes, fill the water until it reaches 

the top of the Rack or bottom of the cooking dish. Check frequently to ensure the Pot 

has water and add water, if needed. 

• Steamed desserts turn out beautifully in the Multicooker. Place the Steaming Rack 

in the bottom of the Removable Cooking Pot. Pour at least 3 cups water into the Pot 

to ensure the Pot does not become dry during baking. Place a heat-proof dish with 

your prepared ingredients onto the rack. Place the Lid on top and steam per your 

recipe. Watch to ensure the Pot has enough water to operate correctly and, if needed, 

carefully add water. 

27

MAINTENANCE 

ALWAYS allow the Multicooker to cool completely before cleaning. 

Unplug the Multicooker before cleaning. 

After each use, clean and dry the Multicooker. Use a damp, soapy cloth to clean 

the Cooker Base and Tempered Glass Lid. Use only clear water on a cloth to 

remove soap. DO NOT immerse the Base in water. Use non-abrasive soap only. 

After each use, the Removable Cooking Pot may be placed in the dishwasher or 

washed by hand with the other parts.
