SAFETY INFORMATION<br />
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS<br />
ALWAYS USE THE REMOVABLE COOKING POT WHEN<br />
OPERATING THIS APPLIANCE<br />
When operating this electric appliance, basic safety instructions should always be<br />
followed. Refer to the following for these instructions.<br />
1. READ ALL SAFETY & USAGE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING<br />
MULTICOOKER.<br />
2. EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION: AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK. DO NOT<br />
immerse cord, plugs or the Multi<strong>cooker</strong> Base in water or other liquid.<br />
3. Do not touch the Multi<strong>cooker</strong> Base or Removable Cooking Pot while hot.<br />
Use potholders, oven mitts or tongs to remove food and avoid hot food or<br />
liquid spills.<br />
electric shock, injury or fire.<br />
12. Use only factory cord supplied; NEVER add extension cords. When done<br />
using, press Start/Stop to turn OFF, then remove plug from appliance<br />
and outlet.<br />
13. Do not use the Multi<strong>cooker</strong> for any use other than intended. Do not use<br />
on a stovetop.<br />
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS<br />
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY<br />
SAFETY INFORMATION<br />
4. Do not open the Multi<strong>cooker</strong> Lid during cooking, unless the Deep Fry Mode<br />
is in use. Opening the Lid causes the cooking temperature to drop and also<br />
increases the cooking time as a result. Use pot holders if the Lid must be<br />
opened and stand well away from any escaping steam.<br />
5. Do not place metal plates, trays or other objects in the Multi<strong>cooker</strong>, other<br />
than the accessories that are intended for use with the Multi<strong>cooker</strong>, as they<br />
may cause fire and/or short circuit damage.<br />
6. UNPLUG the Multi<strong>cooker</strong> from outlet when not in use or before cleaning.<br />
Allow the Multi<strong>cooker</strong> to cool before cleaning. Do not let cord hang over<br />
edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.<br />
Magnetic Breakaway Cord Set: This power<br />
cord is intended to be attached to the<br />
Multi<strong>cooker</strong> and only removed from the<br />
appliance when absolutely necessary. The<br />
female end of this cord that plugs into your<br />
Multi<strong>cooker</strong> has magnetized strips to attach<br />
securely to the appliance.<br />
This cord set operates safely and effectively when placed on a counter near<br />
an electrical outlet. However, if someone pulls on the cord, it will quickly and<br />
smoothly break away from the Multi<strong>cooker</strong>, preventing the Multi<strong>cooker</strong> from<br />
tipping over and spilling hot oil, liquid or foods. This helps prevent burns.<br />
7. Children should never use the Multi<strong>cooker</strong>; close supervision is required<br />
when appliance is used near children.<br />
8. Operate the Multi<strong>cooker</strong> on a level surface well away from any hot gas or<br />
electrical burner, heat source, combustible spray cans or pressurized items.<br />
The Multi<strong>cooker</strong> must be level for optimal performance.<br />
9. DO NOT operate the Multi<strong>cooker</strong> outdoors.<br />
10. Never operate the Multi<strong>cooker</strong> with a damaged cord or plug or one that has<br />
malfunctioned or been damaged in any way. Immediately contact Customer<br />
Service for analysis.<br />
6<br />
11. DO NOT add unauthorized accessory attachments. Such use may result in<br />

FEATURES & FUNCTIONS<br />
A<br />
C<br />
A. Multi<strong>cooker</strong> Base: The Multi<strong>cooker</strong> Base is equipped with built-in EasyLift Handle<br />
grooves and houses the heating unit and Pre-programmed Control Panel. The Base<br />
holds the Removable Cooking Pot and the Tempered Dome Glass Lid.<br />
B.Tempered Dome Glass Lid : An important feature of the Multi<strong>cooker</strong> is the heatresistant<br />
Tempered Dome Glass Lid. Designed as a full viewing window, the Lid<br />
allows observation of the cooking process without opening the Lid. The Lid includes<br />
a rubberized safety seal which helps lock moisture into the Pot, providing nutrient<br />
retention and tender roasting and slow-cooking results. Opening the Lid while<br />
cooking is not recommended, as it reduces the temperature, creating a longer cook<br />
time. When deep frying, the Lid should remain off for safety.<br />
To open the Lid after cooking, use the handle on top to lift the Lid up and away from<br />
your face. Care should be taken when opening the Lid, as the collected steam may<br />
be hot. Use pot holders, if needed, to open the Lid and stand well away from any<br />
escaping steam. Place the Lid on a water-resistant surface. Remove the hot food with<br />
tongs or utensils as needed.<br />
C. EasyLift Handle Grooves: The engineered EasyLift Handle Grooves on the<br />
Multi<strong>cooker</strong> Base allow for the safe movement of the Base, particularly when cleaning<br />
or moving after use. The Multi<strong>cooker</strong> Base should only be moved while it is unplugged<br />
and cool to the touch. The Grooves allow the user to safely remove food or liquids as<br />
needed.<br />
FEATURES & FUNCTIONS<br />
D. Removable Cooking Pot: The die cast aluminum Removable Cooking Pot holds the<br />
Accessory Racks and Basket. The Removable Cooking Pot has a wide wrap-around lip<br />
for easy lifting and movement and the interior is nonstick for easy clean-up. Wait until<br />
the Pot has cooled completely before moving to clean up.<br />

STEP BY STEP COOKING<br />
Inside your Multi<strong>cooker</strong>, there are 18 Cooking Modes, including the Keep Warm<br />
feature. With the versatility of this Multi<strong>cooker</strong>, the 18 Cooking Modes are only the<br />
starting place to create delicious and amazing dishes. Various times and temperatures<br />
have been pre-set by the factory, so you can either use the Cooking Modes in a simple<br />
1-2-3 Step process, or you can start with a Cooking Mode and add or subtract times<br />
and temperatures to vary the results from there. Note that not all Modes include<br />
variable times and temperatures and some do not include Delay Start, as food-borne<br />
bacteria makes these options potentially unsafe within certain Modes.<br />
The following Cooking Modes can all be utilized in the Multi<strong>cooker</strong> and we encourage<br />
you to experiment, trying different dishes and classic favorites, as well. The sky is the<br />
limit with your Multi<strong>cooker</strong>!<br />

With the versatile nature of the Multi<strong>cooker</strong>, you can easily and effortlessly bake in your<br />
Cooker. Here are some handy hints for baking:<br />
ALWAYS use the Removable Cooking Pot for baking. Place prepared ingredients in the<br />
Removable Cooking Pot, place the Lid on the Pot and watch carefully during baking<br />
to avoid burning. Baked foods in the Deluxe Multi<strong>cooker</strong> will cook faster than normal<br />
bake times.<br />
The heating element is close to the bottom of the Removable Cooking Pot. If baking<br />
a heavy-density food, such as cheesecake, use the interior Rack to ensure the bottom<br />
does not burn before the top of the cake is cooked.<br />
STEP BY STEP COOKING<br />
* After choosing the Delay Start time, the Display time will flash, then<br />
illuminate solidly with the Delay Start countdown. When the Timer reaches<br />

Pan frying is especially easy in the Multi<strong>cooker</strong>. Add a few inches of oil to the<br />
Removable Cooking Pot (or Frying Basket) and select the Fry Mode. When the oil is<br />
hot, add chicken pieces, fish fillets, turkey cutlets, pork chops or almost any other<br />
cut of meat, poultry or fish and fry to a golden brown. Turn at least once while frying<br />
to ensure the food is well-cooked and ensure that you’ve cooked foods all the way<br />
through by using an instant-read thermometer.<br />
Pan frying potatoes or other vegetable combinations is equally easy – try sweet potato<br />
cubes, fried and dusted with cinnamon just before serving. Or make hash browned<br />
potatoes to serve with morning omelets. Use pan frying to add texture and flavor to all<br />
your family favorites!<br />
Snacks and appetizers can easily be prepared in the Multi<strong>cooker</strong>. Add one tablespoon<br />
oil to the Removable Cooking Pot and let your imagination and creativity build perfect<br />
snacks for any occasion. Try quesadillas and guacamole for football parties, perfectly<br />
heated egg rolls, warm tacquitos with sour cream or twice-baked potato skins. The<br />
following hints and tips will help make your snacks wonderfully flavorful and cooked<br />
to perfection!<br />
Pour 1-2 tablespoons oil into the Removable Cooking Pot before adding foods.<br />
Add uniformly chopped onions, garlic, celery, carrots, herbs and other ingredients as<br />
desired.<br />
Use a long-handled wooden or heat-proof spoon or tongs to consistently turn and<br />
move the food around in the heated Pot. The foods can easily burn, so remember to<br />
turn them.<br />
Add sauces, wine, soy sauce or small amounts of seasoning as needed. Check food<br />
frequently to avoid burning.<br />

There are few sweet treats more luscious than warm, melted chocolate! This Mode<br />
allows you to melt and hold melted chocolate at the perfect temperature for fondue<br />
or use in other recipes. Use a high-quality chocolate for melting and add your favorite<br />
snack foods for dipping – try squares of pound cake, fresh strawberries, raspberries,<br />
shortbread cookies and other dessert delights. Use the Fondue Rack after dipping to<br />
allow the foods to drip before serving.<br />
A hot homemade pizza is one of the world’s greatest comfort food! Start with<br />
homemade dough (or frozen, thawed dough), place on the interior Rack and parbake<br />
on the Pizza Mode for 15 minutes at 320°F. Remove the dough and Rack and<br />
add toppings of your choice. Replace the pizza on the Rack and select the Pizza<br />
Mode again. Bake at the preset settings and remove. Let stand for a few minutes<br />
before serving.<br />
In this specialty Mode, you can also melt cheese to the perfect low temperature for<br />
fondue or simply as a dip. Use a soft, melting type cheese for best results. Spear bread<br />
cubes on fondue forks to soak up warm cheese, or try cheese with pretzels, crackers<br />
or other yummy combinations. Use the Fondue Rack and Fondue Forks to create an<br />
instant party!<br />

Although toasting is typically done with a heating element on top of the food, this<br />
Multi<strong>cooker</strong> will take care of toasting in a flash using the lower heating element! For<br />
example, just add thick slices of buttered bread to the Removable Cooking Pot and<br />
select the pre-set temperature and time. Flip the bread slices after 10 minutes and<br />
add thin slices of provolone cheese. Wait about 5-10 minutes, remove slices with a<br />
spatula and top each slice with fresh tomato slices. Toasted never tasted so good!

Soup practically cooks itself inside your Multi<strong>cooker</strong>! Use the Soup Mode to set the<br />
time and temperature and walk away until it’s done. Here are some handy tips for<br />
usage:<br />
ALWAYS use the Removable Cooking Pot. Select cuts of meat such as chuck roast and<br />
chuck steak can be cubed and added to potatoes, grains or rice for hearty, yet tender<br />
meals. Meat should be no more than 2-inches thick and cut into 1-inch cubes.<br />
For a quick twist to save time, add frozen, thawed mixed vegetables for a nutritious<br />
boost to soup. Try easy classic recipes such as Chicken & Rice soup, Old-Fashioned Beef<br />
& Barley Soup or Split Pea & Bacon Soup. Each is hearty enough to serve with a salad<br />
and consider a full meal. On cold winter nights, serve soups with chicken or turkey over<br />
rice or pasta for incredible one-dish dinners.<br />

Using little to no oil or butter, place your favorite garden-fresh vegetables in the<br />
Removable Cooking Pot. Add a few tablespoons water and replace the Lid on top.<br />
Select the Vegetable Mode and watch while your vegetables cook to perfection. Try<br />
a medley of colorful vegetables or use this Mode to sauté celery, onions and carrots<br />
before making soup.<br />
Homemade yogurt is a tart and tangy treat that is incredibly easy to make in the<br />
Multi<strong>cooker</strong>. Use this Cooking Mode for a minimum of 4 hours and up to 10 hours to<br />
make thick, creamy and rich homemade yogurt.<br />
Place the Removable Cooking Pot into the Base. Fill up to halfway with water,<br />
depending on how many jars of yogurt you will be cooking. Place the interior Rack<br />
or the Steaming Rack in the Pot and add filled and lidded jars of yogurt into the<br />
Removable Cooking Pot. Set the Yogurt Mode for cooking.<br />
Follow your recipe directions carefully to ensure complete success. Remove jars when<br />
done and cool, then refrigerate until using.<br />

Deep Frying in the Multi<strong>cooker</strong> offers the perfect frying results – crispy and light<br />
exteriors with a tender interior to all your foods. Use the Frying Basket and EasyLift<br />
Handle to hold your ingredients and fit exactly right into the Multi<strong>cooker</strong>. The secret<br />
to perfect results is the quick, high heat used for frying and, with the Multi<strong>cooker</strong>,<br />
you’ll find the pre-set temperature is hot, but not smoking - perfect for your success.<br />
Choose appetizers, snacks, chicken or French fries and be prepared to receive all the<br />
compliments of your family and friends.<br />
The secret to a perfect Stir Fry is to prep the meat and vegetables before starting.<br />
Slice or cut each into very thin pieces in order to cook quickly at high heat. Stir while<br />
cooking, tossing food ingredients with soy sauce, sesame oil and seasonings for a quick<br />
boost of flavor. Serve right away – steaming hot is best!<br />
HOT POT MODE<br />
STEP BY STEP COOKING<br />
For tips to success, consider the following: use similar sized foods so frying times are<br />
the same for each batch. Do not fill the oil in the Multi<strong>cooker</strong> beyond the MAX Fill Line<br />
indicator. Do not use the Lid while deep frying.<br />
Do not over-crowd the Frying Basket, remove moisture from the outside of foods,<br />
batter quickly and let foods drain before frying, and keep the oil clean by removing bits<br />
of cooked foods. Keep an eye on foods as they fry and turn each with tongs as needed.<br />

This very popular form of Asian cooking is for all soup-style entrées that contain a<br />
bit of cooked meat, rice or udon noodles, freshly sliced vegetables and, often, hard<br />
cooked eggs. A hot pot meal may also contain large pieces of chicken or fish and other<br />
flavors combined with rice. The hot pot creates a one-dish dinner that is sure to satisfy<br />
everyone in the family.<br />

Your Deluxe Multi<strong>cooker</strong> will prepare hot cereal perfectly! Because there are many<br />
types of hot cereal and cooked grains, refer to your package instructions for exact<br />
measurements of grain-to-liquid for best results.<br />
Try inventive and fun dishes – add jam, fresh fruit, dried fruit and nuts for interest.<br />
ALWAYS use the Removable Cooking Pot when making hot cereal. Do not pre-soak<br />
grains, but rinse some in water, as desired. Add salt, if desired.<br />
Add 1 tablespoon butter to the hot cereal before cooking to help keep porridge from<br />
sticking and to add a depth of rich flavor.<br />
Add the Keep Warm Mode for up to 4 hours, if desired. Hot cereal will hold safely for<br />
this length of time at a low warm temperature.<br />

The most tender and delicious large cuts of meat can be easily prepared using your<br />
Multi<strong>cooker</strong>. Beef cuts such as chuck roasts and round tip roasts are economical,<br />
yet hearty and satisfying when cooked to perfection in the Meat Mode. Try a whole<br />
prepared chicken, stuffed with herbs and orange slices, a pork shoulder roast with<br />
garlic slices or a bone-in ham slathered with honey…no matter what cut you choose,<br />
your Meat Mode will make it super easy. The following hints and tips will help along<br />
the way:<br />
• Always use an instant-read meat thermometer to ensure your meat has cooked to the<br />
proper temperature.<br />
Grilling is the perfect midweek cooking choice when time is of the essence and<br />
everyone is hungry! Add one tablespoon oil to the Removable Cooking Pot and use<br />
the preset temperature and time for hamburger patties, steaks, chops and small slider<br />
turkey burgers. Turn burgers at least once to cook thoroughly and watch carefully to<br />
avoid burning foods as they grill.<br />
Slice vegetables or fruit for grilled flavors as well; try adding one tablespoon butter to<br />
the Removable Cooking Pot, add pineapple slices and grill for a few minutes on each<br />
side to soften. Top with a sprinkle of brown sugar and wait until it melts. Serve over ice<br />
cream for a delicious treat.<br />
STEP BY STEP COOKING<br />
• Make sure before cooking that your cut of meat fits the Removable Cooking Pot with<br />
the Lid securely in place. Place a bed of sliced onions on the bottom of the Pot, resting<br />
the roast on top, for superior flavor. Or create a bed of quartered potatoes or sliced<br />
lemons for poultry. The options are endless and the meat will be juicy and tender<br />
when ready to eat.<br />
• Pour 1-2 tablespoons canola oil in the Removable Cooking Pot. Cover with cleaned<br />
and quartered carrots, onions, potatoes or turnips and place meat on top of the<br />
vegetables. Add 2-3 cups broth and roast your one-dish dinner until hot and<br />
deliciously hearty.<br />
• When done cooking, move the roast to a cutting board and wrap or tent with<br />
aluminum foil to rest for 10 minutes. This will allow the meat juices to settle. Slice and<br />
serve after resting.<br />
• If you’d like to make gravy, use the Fry Mode to quickly heat the liquid in the<br />
Removable Cooking Pot after removing the roast. Stir and add ½ cup water mixed<br />
with 1-2 tablespoons cornstarch or flour to thicken the gravy. Add seasonings to<br />
flavor and continue stirring and heating for 5 minutes.<br />

Steaming retains essential vitamins and minerals that can be lost through other<br />
cooking methods. Steaming also offers very tender results and, as such, is perfectly<br />
suited to seafood, vegetables and other foods that break down quickly with moist<br />
heat. Pour water into the Removable Cooking Pot below the Steaming Rack. Place<br />
foods either directly on the Rack or in a small, heat-resistant cookware on the Rack.<br />
The following hints and tips will help you create quick and easy steamed success with<br />
your Multi<strong>cooker</strong>:<br />
STEP BY STEP COOKING<br />
• ALWAYS use the Steaming Rack inside the Removable Cooking Pot for steaming.<br />
Always use the Removable Cooking Pot as electrical shock can occur if the heating<br />
element is exposed to moisture or liquid.<br />
• Place the Rack inside the Removable Cooking Pot, then place food directly on the rack<br />
or inside a heatproof plate or dish on top of the rack. Make sure the Tempered Glass<br />
Lid can close completely before starting the Steam Mode.<br />
• Place at least 2-inches water in the Removable Cooking Pot to allow the Cooker to<br />
steam efficiently. If steaming for more than 30 minutes, fill the water until it reaches<br />
the top of the Rack or bottom of the cooking dish. Check frequently to ensure the Pot<br />
has water and add water, if needed.<br />
• Steamed desserts turn out beautifully in the Multi<strong>cooker</strong>. Place the Steaming Rack<br />
in the bottom of the Removable Cooking Pot. Pour at least 3 cups water into the Pot<br />
to ensure the Pot does not become dry during baking. Place a heat-proof dish with<br />
your prepared ingredients onto the rack. Place the Lid on top and steam per your<br />
recipe. Watch to ensure the Pot has enough water to operate correctly and, if needed,<br />
carefully add water.<br />

MAINTENANCE<br />
ALWAYS allow the Multi<strong>cooker</strong> to cool completely before cleaning.<br />
Unplug the Multi<strong>cooker</strong> before cleaning.<br />
After each use, clean and dry the Multi<strong>cooker</strong>. Use a damp, soapy cloth to clean<br />
the Cooker Base and Tempered Glass Lid. Use only clear water on a cloth to<br />
remove soap. DO NOT immerse the Base in water. Use non-abrasive soap only.<br />
After each use, the Removable Cooking Pot may be placed in the dishwasher or<br />
washed by hand with the other parts.<br />
