Glass Cover Care and Use Instructions
CAUTION! The glass cover may break for no apparent reason if you fail to follow these
instructions. Broken glass can cause personal injury or property damage.
Handle the cover carefully. Do not scrape or gouge the glass with hard or sharp utensils.
Do not handle a hot cover with a wet towel or place it on a cold or wet surface. Sudden,
extreme changes in temperature may cause the glass to break. Do not use the cover if it is
chipped or cracked. Avoid rough handling in use and storage.
Keep the cover clean. Allow the cover to cool before washing. This cover is dishwasher
safe. Do not use steel wool cleaning pads or abrasive powders which can scratch or
weaken the glass. Nonabrasive pads or powders may be used if necessary.

The multi-cooker makes preparing your favorite soups and stews so easy. In your multi-
cooker, foods will simmer at some point between WARM and 200°. Heat the multi-
cooker at 250° until the food boils. Then place the cover on the multi-cooker and reduce
the heat to the simmer level by turning the heat control down until the indicator light
turns off.
