SAFETY INFORMATION<br />

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS<br />

ALWAYS USE THE REMOVABLE COOKING POT WHEN<br />

OPERATING THIS APPLIANCE<br />

When operat<strong>in</strong>g this electric appliance, basic safety <strong>in</strong>structions should always be<br />

followed. Refer to the follow<strong>in</strong>g for these <strong>in</strong>structions.<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 Multicooker Base <strong>in</strong> water or other liquid.<br />

3. Do not touch the Multicooker Base or Removable Cook<strong>in</strong>g Pot while hot.<br />

Use potholders, oven mitts or tongs to remove food and avoid hot food or<br />

liquid spills.<br />

electric shock, <strong>in</strong>jury or fire.<br />

12. Use only factory cord supplied; NEVER add extension cords. When done<br />

us<strong>in</strong>g, press Start/Stop to turn OFF, then remove plug from appliance<br />

and outlet.<br />

13. Do not use the Multicooker for any use other than <strong>in</strong>tended. 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 Multicooker Lid dur<strong>in</strong>g cook<strong>in</strong>g, unless the Deep Fry Mode<br />

is <strong>in</strong> use. Open<strong>in</strong>g the Lid causes the cook<strong>in</strong>g temperature to drop and also<br />

<strong>in</strong>creases the cook<strong>in</strong>g time as a result. Use pot holders if the Lid must be<br />

opened and stand well away from any escap<strong>in</strong>g steam.<br />

5. Do not place metal plates, trays or other objects <strong>in</strong> the Multicooker, other<br />

than the accessories that are <strong>in</strong>tended for use with the Multicooker, as they<br />

may cause fire and/or short circuit damage.<br />

6. UNPLUG the Multicooker from outlet when not <strong>in</strong> use or before clean<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

Allow the Multicooker to cool before clean<strong>in</strong>g. 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 <strong>in</strong>tended to be attached to the<br />

Multicooker and only removed from the<br />

appliance when absolutely necessary. The<br />

female end of this cord that plugs <strong>in</strong>to your<br />

Multicooker 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 Multicooker, prevent<strong>in</strong>g the Multicooker from<br />

tipp<strong>in</strong>g over and spill<strong>in</strong>g hot oil, liquid or foods. This helps prevent burns.<br />

7. Children should never use the Multicooker; close supervision is required<br />

when appliance is used near children.<br />

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

electrical burner, heat source, combustible spray cans or pressurized items.<br />

The Multicooker must be level for optimal performance.<br />

9. DO NOT operate the Multicooker outdoors.<br />

10. Never operate the Multicooker with a damaged cord or plug or one that has<br />

malfunctioned or been damaged <strong>in</strong> any way. Immediately contact Customer<br />

Service for analysis.<br />

FEATURES & FUNCTIONS<br />

A<br />

C<br />

A. Multicooker Base: The Multicooker Base is equipped with built-<strong>in</strong> EasyLift Handle<br />

grooves and houses the heat<strong>in</strong>g unit and Pre-programmed Control Panel. The Base<br />

holds the Removable Cook<strong>in</strong>g Pot and the Tempered Dome Glass Lid.<br />

B.Tempered Dome Glass Lid : An important feature of the Multicooker is the heatresistant<br />

Tempered Dome Glass Lid. Designed as a full view<strong>in</strong>g w<strong>in</strong>dow, the Lid<br />

allows observation of the cook<strong>in</strong>g process without open<strong>in</strong>g the Lid. The Lid <strong>in</strong>cludes<br />

a rubberized safety seal which helps lock moisture <strong>in</strong>to the Pot, provid<strong>in</strong>g nutrient<br />

retention and tender roast<strong>in</strong>g and slow-cook<strong>in</strong>g results. Open<strong>in</strong>g the Lid while<br />

cook<strong>in</strong>g is not recommended, as it reduces the temperature, creat<strong>in</strong>g a longer cook<br />

time. When deep fry<strong>in</strong>g, the Lid should rema<strong>in</strong> off for safety.<br />

To open the Lid after cook<strong>in</strong>g, use the handle on top to lift the Lid up and away from<br />

your face. Care should be taken when open<strong>in</strong>g 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 />

escap<strong>in</strong>g 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 eng<strong>in</strong>eered EasyLift Handle Grooves on the<br />

Multicooker Base allow for the safe movement of the Base, particularly when clean<strong>in</strong>g<br />

or mov<strong>in</strong>g after use. The Multicooker 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 Cook<strong>in</strong>g Pot: The die cast alum<strong>in</strong>um Removable Cook<strong>in</strong>g Pot holds the<br />

Accessory Racks and Basket. The Removable Cook<strong>in</strong>g Pot has a wide wrap-around lip<br />

for easy lift<strong>in</strong>g and movement and the <strong>in</strong>terior is nonstick for easy clean-up. Wait until<br />

STEP BY STEP COOKING<br />

Inside your Multicooker, there are <strong>18</strong> Cook<strong>in</strong>g Modes, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g the Keep Warm<br />

feature. With the versatility of this Multicooker, the <strong>18</strong> Cook<strong>in</strong>g Modes are only the<br />

start<strong>in</strong>g place to create delicious and amaz<strong>in</strong>g dishes. Various times and temperatures<br />

have been pre-set by the factory, so you can either use the Cook<strong>in</strong>g Modes <strong>in</strong> a simple<br />

1-2-3 Step process, or you can start with a Cook<strong>in</strong>g Mode and add or subtract times<br />

and temperatures to vary the results from there. Note that not all Modes <strong>in</strong>clude<br />

variable times and temperatures and some do not <strong>in</strong>clude Delay Start, as food-borne<br />

bacteria makes these options potentially unsafe with<strong>in</strong> certa<strong>in</strong> Modes.<br />

The follow<strong>in</strong>g Cook<strong>in</strong>g Modes can all be utilized <strong>in</strong> the Multicooker and we encourage<br />

you to experiment, try<strong>in</strong>g different dishes and classic favorites, as well. The sky is the<br />

Pan fry<strong>in</strong>g is especially easy <strong>in</strong> the Multicooker. Add a few <strong>in</strong>ches of oil to the<br />

Removable Cook<strong>in</strong>g Pot (or Fry<strong>in</strong>g 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 fry<strong>in</strong>g<br />

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

through by us<strong>in</strong>g an <strong>in</strong>stant-read thermometer.<br />

Pan fry<strong>in</strong>g potatoes or other vegetable comb<strong>in</strong>ations is equally easy – try sweet potato<br />

cubes, fried and dusted with c<strong>in</strong>namon just before serv<strong>in</strong>g. Or make hash browned<br />

potatoes to serve with morn<strong>in</strong>g omelets. Use pan fry<strong>in</strong>g to add texture and flavor to all<br />

your family favorites!<br />

Snacks and appetizers can easily be prepared <strong>in</strong> the Multicooker. Add one tablespoon<br />

oil to the Removable Cook<strong>in</strong>g Pot and let your imag<strong>in</strong>ation 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 sk<strong>in</strong>s. The<br />

follow<strong>in</strong>g h<strong>in</strong>ts and tips will help make your snacks wonderfully flavorful and cooked<br />

to perfection!<br />

Pour 1-2 tablespoons oil <strong>in</strong>to the Removable Cook<strong>in</strong>g Pot before add<strong>in</strong>g foods.<br />

Add uniformly chopped onions, garlic, celery, carrots, herbs and other <strong>in</strong>gredients as<br />

desired.<br />

Use a long-handled wooden or heat-proof spoon or tongs to consistently turn and<br />

move the food around <strong>in</strong> the heated Pot. The foods can easily burn, so remember to<br />

turn them.<br />

Add sauces, w<strong>in</strong>e, soy sauce or small amounts of season<strong>in</strong>g as needed. Check food<br />

frequently to avoid burn<strong>in</strong>g.<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 <strong>in</strong> other recipes. Use a high-quality chocolate for melt<strong>in</strong>g and add your favorite<br />

snack foods for dipp<strong>in</strong>g – try squares of pound cake, fresh strawberries, raspberries,<br />

shortbread cookies and other dessert delights. Use the Fondue Rack after dipp<strong>in</strong>g to<br />

allow the foods to drip before serv<strong>in</strong>g.<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 <strong>in</strong>terior Rack and parbake<br />

on the Pizza Mode for 15 m<strong>in</strong>utes at 320°F. Remove the dough and Rack and<br />

add topp<strong>in</strong>gs of your choice. Replace the pizza on the Rack and select the Pizza<br />

Mode aga<strong>in</strong>. Bake at the preset sett<strong>in</strong>gs and remove. Let stand for a few m<strong>in</strong>utes<br />

before serv<strong>in</strong>g.<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, melt<strong>in</strong>g 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 comb<strong>in</strong>ations. Use the Fondue Rack and Fondue Forks to create an<br />

Multicooker will take care of toast<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> a flash us<strong>in</strong>g the lower heat<strong>in</strong>g element! For<br />

example, just add thick slices of buttered bread to the Removable Cook<strong>in</strong>g Pot and<br />

select the pre-set temperature and time. Flip the bread slices after 10 m<strong>in</strong>utes and<br />

add th<strong>in</strong> slices of provolone cheese. Wait about 5-10 m<strong>in</strong>utes, remove slices with a<br />

Soup practically cooks itself <strong>in</strong>side your Multicooker! 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 Cook<strong>in</strong>g Pot. Select cuts of meat such as chuck roast and<br />

chuck steak can be cubed and added to potatoes, gra<strong>in</strong>s or rice for hearty, yet tender<br />

meals. Meat should be no more than 2-<strong>in</strong>ches thick and cut <strong>in</strong>to 1-<strong>in</strong>ch 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 w<strong>in</strong>ter nights, serve soups with chicken or turkey over<br />

rice or pasta for <strong>in</strong>credible one-dish d<strong>in</strong>ners.<br />
