Important Cord Information

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.

A short detachable power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of 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.

Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.

How to Attach Legs and Handles

Tools Required: #2 Phillips screwdriver
Parts Included: 4 legs, 2 handles

To Attach Legs to Base

1. Place the multi-cooker upside down on the table or counter.

2. Using the screwdriver, remove the screws from the four mounting projections
on the bottom of the multi-cooker and set aside. Use these screws to attach
the legs to the base.

3. Position one of the legs, rubber foot 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 the screw. The leg should not rock or
move if twisted.

NOTICE: Continuing to tighten, once secure, can result in the stripping of screws or the cracking of legs.

4. Repeat step 3 for the other three legs. When properly assembled, the multi-cooker should sit level with no leg rock.

To Attach Handles to Base

1. Place the multi-cooker upside down on the table or counter.

2. Using the screwdriver, remove the screws from the tabs on each side of the base and set aside. Use these screws to attach 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 screwdriver
with a long shank.

3. Slide one of the handles, with the screw hole facing up, onto the tab so the hole on the tab aligns with the hole on the handle (Fig. A).
Fasten securely with the screw. The handle should not wobble, but slight movement from side to side is normal.

NOTICE: Continuing to tighten, once secure, can result in the stripping of screws or the cracking of handles.

4. Repeat step 2 for the other handle. When properly installed, the handles should be parallel with the table or counter.

How to Attach Basket Handle for Deep Frying and Blanching

NOTE: When using the basket for deep frying and blanching foods, position the basket handle outside of the basket.

1. Slide the lock bar up on the handle
(Fig. B). Then squeeze the handle bars
together and fit them into the bracket
guides. The pegs should rest on the
bracket tabs below the bracket guides
(Fig. B).

2. After attaching the handle to the basket,
slide the lock bar down (Fig. C) to
the locked position to ensure against
accidental detachment of the handle
from the basket.

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 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 nonstick surface.

1. Place the multi-cooker on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface away from the wall and the edge of the surface. Do not let the cord hang
or drape over the edge of the counter or table within reach of children. Remove the cover from the multi-cooker.

NOTICE: To prevent possible heat damage to your countertop, place a heat-resistant
counter protector, such as aluminum foil, under the multi-cooker, taking care not to
place the foil under the legs.

2. Insert the heat control probe into the multi-cooker so the two electrical pins on the
appliance are fully inserted into the heat control.

Then attach the magnetic cord to the heat control by aligning the magnetic plug end
with the two electrical pins located on the back of the heat control (Fig. G).

Due to the fact the magnetic plug end is polarized, it is intended to be attached to the
heat control only one way. The printed patent information on the plug end should

3. Using the cooking method index below, determine the type of cooking method desired and turn to the referenced page.

4. Plug the multi-cooker into a 120VAC electrical outlet only. Preheat the multi-cooker as indicated by the cooking method and follow
the cooking instructions. During cooking, the pilot light will go on and off indicating the temperature is being maintained.
