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

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.
Connect the power supply cord to a polarized outlet only. As a safety feature, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). This plug will only t in a polarized outlet one way. If the plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not t, contact a quali ed electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

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. 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 oc-
curs, verify that the cord is still properly connected.

Fish:

layer of sh llets in steam/fry basket and attach basket to multi-cooker rim with steaming hook. Then cover and steam 5 to 10 minutes
or until the sh akes easily when tested with a fork.

2 cups rice
4 cups water
Place rice and water in multi-cooker. Set heat control at 250˚. Cover and bring to a vigorous boil. Turn heat control down until pilot light

To avoid personal injury: 1) 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) Do not add water or wet foods to cooking oil. Even small amounts of water
will cause oil to spatter.
Remove the cover for all deep frying. Never use any cover while oil is heating or while deep frying foods in this unit.
Use only a good reliable standard brand of vegetable oil or all-purpose shortening for deep frying. Deep frying foods in butter, margarine,
olive oil, or animal fat is not recommended because of lower smoking temperatures.
Use 8 cups of oil or shortening. This allows for oil displacement and promotes even frying.
Remove excess moisture from moist foods by blotting with paper toweling before deep frying. Moist foods cause excessive foaming and
is well browned. Lift steam/fry basket and using drain hook, hook basket onto multi-cooker rim to drain.
Do not overload basket. Too many items lower the oil temperature causing food to absorb oil and/or cook improperly. Fry similar sized
items for even browning and doneness.
Place uniform size pieces in a single layer on the bottom of the steam/fry basket. Smaller amounts cook faster.
Oil can be reused several times but must be strained after each use. Cool the oil completely then strain it through a sieve, wire strainer,
double layers of cheesecloth, or a lter-lined funnel. Place the strained oil in a container labeled with date and type of food cooked.
Use caution when deep frying our tortillas.
Flour tortillas contain air bubbles. During deep frying, oil can become trapped within
these bubbles. If not properly drained the bubbles can burst and cause burns. Therefore, after deep frying tortillas, carefully raise them
out of the cooking oil, but not out of the Kitchen Kettle and allow oil to drain from the tortilla for approximately 30 seconds.
