SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRIC POWER
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Do not use an extension cord with this
product.
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a dedicated electrical circuit.
Instructions For Use.
• Never fill the unit above the MAX LINE in the Inner Pot. When using foods that expand
during cooking such as rice or dried beans, follow the recipe carefully for those products,
and as a rule of thumb, do not fill the unit above the “halfway” point. Overfilling may
cause clogging, allowing excess pressure to develop. See Instructions For Use.
• Be aware that certain foods, such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or
other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, and spaghetti, can foam, froth,
sputter, and clog the steam vent. Recipes using these items must be followed carefully to
avoid problems.
• Always check the Lid Steam Vent for clogs before use.
• This appliance has been designed for use with a 120V electrical outlet only. Do not use any
other electrical outlet.
• The Perfect Cooker
TM
generates extreme heat and steam in its operation. All necessary
precautions must be taken to avoid fire,burns and other personal injury during its
operation.
• When in operation, The Perfect Cooker
TM
requires sufficient air space on all sides including
top and bottom. Never operate the unit near any flammable materials such as dish
towels, paper towels, curtains, paper plates, etc.
• Always plug the electrical cord directly into the wall outlet. Never use this unit with an
extension cord of any kind.
• Anyone who has not fully read and understood all operating and safety instructions
contained in this manual is not qualified to operate or clean this appliance.
• If this unit falls or accidentally becomes immersed in water, unplug it from the wall outlet
immediately. Do not reach into the water!
• Do not operate this appliance on an unstable surface.
• If this appliance begins to malfunction during use, immediately unplug the cord. Do not
use or attempt to repair a malfunctioning appliance!
• CAUTION: TO REDUCE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, COOK ONLY IN THE REMOVABLE INNER POT.
Do not immerse the housing or base in water. Before use: clean the bottom of the Inner
Pot and the surface of the heater plate. Insert the Inner Pot, turning it slightly clockwise
and counterclockwise until you are sure it is sitting correctly on the heater plate. Failure to
do so will prevent proper operation and may cause damage to the unit.
• CAUTION: HOT SURFACES. This appliance generates heat and escaping
steam during use. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of
personal injury, fires, and damage to property.

GETTING STARTED
Before using the Perfect Cooker™ for the first time, wash the Inner Pot (C), the Outer Lid (A) and the Inner Lid (B) with warm soapy water, a dish cloth or non abrasive
sponge. To separate the Inner and Outer lids for cleaning, simply grasp the medium rubber gasket of the Inner Lid and pull out gently. Rinse all with clean water and dry
thoroughly.
To insure proper operation, reassemble the Outer and Inner lids by aligning both Steam Vents (H&I) and push together gently until both lids are fully joined. Rinse and towel
dry the Inner Pot. The Perfect Cooker™ is now ready for use.
General Operating Instructions
• Never load Inner Pot above the MAX line (see below). Rotate the Inner Pot to make certain that it is seated properly on the Heating Plate.
• Always be certain the Steam Vents are clear of any obstructions.
• Attach the AC Cord (E) to the Base Unit (D) then plug the AC Cord into a dedicated 120V wall outlet.
• Place ingredients in the Inner Pot as per the recipe. Place the Inner Pot into the Base Unit. Put on the Outer Lid (A). When properly placed the lid will not rotate. Secure
lid with Lid Locks (J).
Note: The Perfect Cooker™ remains in Heat (cook) Mode until the
unit reaches a predetermined internal temperature. Once that
temperature is reached, the unit automatically switches to Keep
Warm Mode preventing overcooking or burning. Follow the
procedures and “cook times” shown in the recipe booklet until

CARE & CLEANING
HELPFUL HINTS
TO CLEAN: After use, unplug unit and allow to cool completely before cleaning. The Perfect Cooker™ must be cleaned
thoroughly after each use in order to prevent damage caused by a build-up of food or cooking residue.
Caution: Never immerse the Base Unit in water or any form of liquid.
Before cleaning the Base Unit, first make sure it is unplugged from the AC outlet. Using a soft, damp, dish cloth or sponge wipe the
inside and outside surface using a mild soap. Never use abrasive cleaners of any kind on this unit.
For proper cleaning the Rubber Gasket should be removed. Using the Pull TAB located beneath the Lid, remove the Pot Lid Liner that
holds the Gasket. After cleaning re-attach Gasket to Lid Liner and snap back in place.
To clean the Lid, grasp the medium rubber gasket of the Inner Lid then pull gently but firmly to separate it from the Outer Lid (as
shown above). Wash both with warm soapy water, a dish cloth or non abrasive sponge. Carefully check and clean the Steam Vents
(pg.3 H & I) to remove any food or debris.
The Inner Pot should be cleaned using warm soapy water, a dish cloth or non-abrasive sponge. Do not place parts in a dishwasher.
Dry all components thoroughly, re-assemble the unit and store it on the counter top or with your other kitchen appliances.
• For best results, it is suggested that you do not use the WARM function for more than 5 hours.
• If the Cooker switches to WARM before the food is done, you will need to add more liquid.
• Foods that are overly sweet or oily can cause the Cooker to switch to WARM earlier than desired. If this happens, add some liquid.
• When baking in the Cooker, it is usually necessary to push COOK more than once. You will need to wait for about 5 minutes after the machine switches to WARM to be
able to press it back to COOK. This is normal.
• The temperature of the WARM setting is 100-103 degrees. This is hot enough to cook foods and far too hot for any bacteria to grow or for food to spoil. It is very safe to
keep foods at this setting for several hours.
• Do not double recipes in the Cooker. The tightly closed Lid will force excess hot liquid out of the steam vent. If this happens, unplug the unit and allow it to cool
thoroughly before unlocking the lid to avoid possible injury.
