How To Use
NOTICE: Avoid using no-stick cooking sprays as they may
cause the cooking surface to become tacky. In addition, use
heat-resistant nylon, plastic, wooden, or rubber utensils to turn,
stir, or remove food when not using the basket. Do not use metal
utensils as they may scratch the nonstick surface.
1. Place the multi-cooker on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface
away from the wall and the edge. Do not let the cord hang
or drape over the edge of the counter or table within reach
of children. Remove the cover from the multi-cooker.
NOTICE: To prevent possible heat damage to your coun-
tertop, place a heat-resistant counter protector, such as
aluminum foil, under the multi-cooker; take care not to
place the foil under the legs.
2. Insert the probe end of the heat control into the multi-cooker
so the two electrical pins on the appliance are fully inserted
into the heat control. Then attach the magnetic cord to the
heat control by aligning the magnetic plug end with the two
electrical pins located on the back of the heat control (Fig. E).
Due to the fact that the magnetic plug end is polarized, it is intended to be attached to the heat control
only one way. The printed patent information on the plug end should be facing up. The daisy and cau-
tionary language should be facing the counter. When properly aligned and positioned correctly, the plug
end will magnetically attach itself to the heat control.
IMPORTANT: The magnetic cord was designed to detach easily from the heat control.
As a result, if bumped or touched during use, it could detach causing the multi-cooker
to stop heating. Avoid contact with magnetic cord during operation. If contact occurs,
verify the magnetic cord is still properly connected to the heat control.
3. Using the index below, determine the type of cooking method desired and turn to the
referenced page.
4. Plug the multi-cooker into a 120VAC electrical outlet only. Preheat the multi-cooker as
indicated by the cooking method and follow the cooking instructions. During cooking,
the pilot light will go on and off indicating temperature is being maintained.
NOTE: Occasionally you may hear a pop or clicking sound while the multi-cooker is
preheating. This is normal and a sign of fast heatup. You may also notice this sound as
themulti-cookercoolsdown.Whenusingthemulti-cookerforthersttime,aslight
odor or light smoking may occur as manufacturing residue evaporates. This is normal.
5. When cooking is complete, turn the heat control to OFF. Remove the plug from wall
outlet and then remove magnetic plug end from heat control. Allow to cool completely
before removing the heat control from the multi-cooker before cleaning.

Care and Cleaning
The multi-cooker may be washed in the dishwasher or by hand. Remove the heat control before cleaning the appliance.
NOTICE: If you choose to wash the multi-cooker in the dishwasher, the basket and the bottom of the multi-cooker will likely discolor
due to the caustic nature of the dishwasher detergent. In addition, a gray residue may form on the outside bottom of the multi-cooker
which can transfer to towels or to skin.
