ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

ENGLISH

Voltage: 120 VAC Frequency: 60 Hz Wattage: 700 Watts NOTE: This Multi-Cooker has a 3 prong

grounded plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug will fit in an outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit in the outlet, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk resulting from it being grabbed by children, becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or technician install an outlet near the appliance.

COOKING METHODS

For cooking and food preparation tips, see “Tips for great results” on how to get the most from each cooking method. Also, refer to the cookbook for special tips and tricks specially suited to each recipe, or visit www.kitchenaid.com/quickstart.

Sear (430–450°F/221–232°C)

Searing allows you to prepare meats for stews, soups, and other dishes. It uses high temperatures to cook the outside surfaces quickly, trapping avor and juices inside.

Sauté (330–370°F/166–188°C)

Sautéing is ideal for giving meats and vegetables a fresh, crisp avor and texture. Use Sauté for creating oriental dishes, stir-fries, and breakfast foods such as sausage and scrambled eggs.

Boil/Steam (192–232°F/89–111°C)

Use Boil/Steam to prepare a variety of foods such as hot cereals, steam shrimp, or to heat delicate foods such as sh with indirect heat.

Simmer (185–210°F/85–99°C)

Simmer is great for soups and stews where gentle cooking helps yield rich, hearty avors.

SETTING THE TIMER FOR COOKING METHODS

Slow Cook (Low or High)

Slow Cook allows the Multi-Cooker to be used like a slow cooker, making it ideal for slow cooking BBQ, chili, and meatballs, to name just a few.

Keep Warm (165°F/74°C)

Keep Warm mode is designed to keep foods at serving temperature after cooking has nished for up to 24 hours. Certain cooking methods and modes feature an automatic Keep Warm mode. For other cooking methods and modes, Keep Warm can be selected manually.

IMPORTANT: Use Keep Warm only with fully cooked food. Keep Warm is intended to keep fully cooked food at serving temperature.
