SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
Important Cord and Plug Information
A short power supply cord (or cord set) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. DO NOT USE WITH AN EXTENSION CORD.
Do not allow the cord to run underneath or around the unit. The magnetic cord may not detach easily if the cord is positioned in this fashion.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit
into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
How to Install Legs and Handles
Tools Required: Phillips type screwdriver
Parts Included: 4 legs, 2 handles
To Install Legs to Base
1. Place multi-cooker upside down on table or counter.
2. Using the screwdriver, remove the screws from each of the four mounting
projections on the bottom of the unit. These screws are for attaching the legs
to the multi-cooker base.
3. Position one of the legs, with the rubber insert facing up, over one of the
mounting projections (Fig. A). Align the hole in the leg with the hole in the
mounting projection and fasten securely with screw. Leg should not rock or
move if twisted.
NOTICE: Continuing to tighten, once secure, can result in stripping of screws
or cracking of legs.
4. Repeat step 3 for other three legs.
5. Turn multi-cooker right side up on table or counter. When properly assembled,
the multi-cooker should sit level with no leg rock.

To Attach Handles to Base
1. With multi-cooker upside down on table or counter, remove the screws from the tabs on each side of the multi-cooker base. These
screws are for attaching the handles to the base.
Hint: When removing the screw under the plug guard, hold the screwdriver at a slight angle or use a short screwdriver or a screw-
driver with a long shank.
2. Slide one of the handles, with the screw hole facing up, onto the tab so the screw hole on the tab aligns with the screw hole on the
handle (Fig. A). Fasten with screw and tighten fully. Handle should not wobble, but slight movement from side to side is normal.
NOTICE: Continuing to tighten, once secure, can result in stripping of screws or cracking of handles.
3. Repeat step 2 for other handle.
4. When properly installed, the handles should appear parallel with the table or counter.
To Attach Basket Handle
1. Slide lock bar up on handle (Fig. B) and place one of the handle bars into one of the tabs on
bracket. Then squeeze the handle bars together, and fit the other handle bar into the opposite
tab on bracket.

How To Use
Basket
handle
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
Steaming/
draining hook
rubber utensils to turn, stir, or remove food when not
using the steam/fry basket. Do not use metal utensils
as they may scratch the ceramic nonstick surface.
1. Place multi-cooker on a dry, level, heat-
Steam/fry
basket
resistant surface. The cover should not be on
the multi-cooker.
CAUTION! To avoid personal injury, position
multi-cooker well back from edge of counter or table. Do not let cord hang or drape
over edge of counter or table within reach of children.
2. Insert the probe end of the heat control into the multi-cooker so the two electri-
cal pins on the appliance are fully inserted into the heat control. Then attach the
magnetic cord assembly to the heat control by aligning the magnetic coupler end
with the two electrical pins located on the back of the heat control (Fig. E).
Due to the fact that the magnetic coupler end is polarized, it can only be attached to
the heat control one way. When properly aligned, the plug will magnetically attach
itself to the heat control. Attach the cord so that the printed patent information on
the magnetic plug is facing up. The daisy and cautionary language will be facing
towards the counter. If positioned upside down, it will not attach.
IMPORTANT: The magnetic cord was designed to detach easily from the multi-
cooker. As a result, if it is bumped or touched during use, it could possibly detach
causing the unit to stop heating. Avoid contact with cord during operation. If contact
occurs, verify that the cord is still properly connected.
3. Plug the multi-cooker into a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
4. Using the index on page 4, determine the type of cooking method you will be following and turn to the referenced page.
5. Preheat multi-cooker as indicated in 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 due to the expansion of the
metal as it heats. It is normal. You may also notice this sound as the unit cools down.
When using the multi-cooker for the first time, a slight odor or light smoking may occur as manufacturing residue evaporates. This
is normal during initial use.
6. When cooking is complete, turn heat control to “OFF”. Remove plug from wall outlet and then remove magnetic coupler end from
heat control. Allow appliance to cool and detach heat control from multi-cooker before cleaning.

Care and Cleaning
Before initial use and after each subsequent use, wash the multi-cooker in hot, soapy water. Do not use steel wool or abrasive kitchen
cleaners. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
NOTICE: Repeated washings in an automatic dishwasher will cause the nonstick properties of the ceramic coating to slowly diminish. In
addition, the basket and the bottom of the multi-cooker will likely discolor due to the caustic nature of the dishwasher detergent, and a
gray residue may form on the multi-cooker bottom and may transfer onto towels and/or skin.
Do not immerse the heat control or magnetic cord assembly in water or let them come in contact with any liquid.
Soaking the multi-cooker to loosen food residue is not necessary. If, however, soaking the multi-cooker is desired, do not soak for more
than two hours. Soaking for more than two hours may damage the nonstick finish.
In time, the nonstick finish may darken over the heating element. To minimize or remove this discoloration, sprinkle baking soda over
the discolored area. Add enough water to make a paste. Allow paste to sit for several minutes and then scour with a plastic scouring pad,
such as Scotch-Brite* Dobie* Cleaning Pad, or a damp cloth. Wash and dry thoroughly. Repeat the procedure, if necessary.
Periodically check the screws on the handles and legs for looseness. Retighten, if necessary. NOTICE: Continuing to tighten, once secure,
can result in stripping of screws or cracking of handles and legs.
IMPORTANT: To ensure continued accuracy of the Control Master heat control, avoid rough handling in use and storage.
Any maintenance required for this product, other than normal household care and cleaning, should be performed by the Presto Factory
Service Department, see page 11.
Glass Cover Care and Use Instructions
CAUTION! Your glass cover may break for no apparent reason if you fail to follow these instructions. Broken glass can cause personal
injury or property damage.
Never use cover when frying food or heating oil. Do not use cover if it is chipped or cracked. Handle cover carefully and avoid rough
handling.
Do not handle hot cover with wet towel or place hot cover on a cold or wet surface. Sudden, extreme changes in temperature may cause
glass to break. Allow cover to cool before washing.
This cover is dishwasher safe. Keep the cover clean. 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. Do not scrape or gouge glass with hard or sharp utensils.
