IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage, when using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock or burns, do not immerse heat control or magnetic cord assembly in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Be sure handle is properly assembled to basket and locked in place. See detailed assembly instructions on pages 2 and 3.
6. Do not let children handle or put electrical cords or plugs in their mouths.
7. Always attach heat control and magnetic cord assembly to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect heat
control and magnetic cord, turn control to “OFF” and remove plug from wall outlet and cord assembly from heat control. Allow
appliance to cool, then remove heat control from unit.
8. Unplug from outlet and remove heat control from appliance when not in use and before cleaning. Allow appliance to cool before

Important Cord and Plug Information
DEEP FRY
STEAM
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.
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 fit in a polarized outlet one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
Before First Use
Become familiar with the various parts of the
Fig. A
multi-cooker (Fig. A) and read the instructions
carefully.
Note: The Control Master
heat control and the
magnetic cord assembly can be found in the top

Caution: This product is not intended to melt

wax, gels, plastics, or other materials for making candles or for other hobbyist activities or
in any commercial or business application.
The basket is designed to be used in two positions, one for steaming (Fig. B) and the other for
blanching and deep frying (Fig. C). Before using
the unit for steaming, blanching, or deep frying, you will need
to attach the basket handle to the basket as instructed below
and on page 3.
You will notice there are two sets of holes on the basket bracket (see Fig. D below and Fig. G on page 3). The lower set is for
steaming and the word STEAM is between the two holes. The
upper set is for blanching and frying and the words DEEP FRY
are between that set of holes.

Handle/Basket Assembly for Blanching and Deep Frying
To attach the handle to the basket for blanching and deep frying, follow these steps:
1. Refer to the basket handle position in Fig.
C. Hold the basket in one hand and the
basket handle in your other hand. You will
be placing the pegs, which are at the ends
of the two basket handle bars, into the two
upper holes (identified as DEEP FRY) in
the basket bracket (Fig. D).
2. While holding the pegs near the upper
(DEEP FRY) peg holes, tilt the handle

inward before attempting to place the pegs
in their holes. (You will not be able to fit
the second peg into its hole if the handle bars are positioned too close to the
bracket.)

4. While continuing to squeeze the handle bars together and keeping the pegs in the
holes, rotate the handle towards the basket rim, allowing the handle bars to snap
into the tabs on the basket bracket (Fig. F). The handle is now in the locked position for deep frying and blanching.

How To Use
Steam peg holes
Before initial use, and after each subsequent use, wash appliance in dishwasher or
in hot, soapy water, rinse, and dry. Do not immerse heat control or magnetic cord
assembly in water or let them come in contact with any liquid.
1. Place multi-cooker on a dry, level, heat 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 electrical 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. I). 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 120v AC electrical polarized outlet only.
4. Using the index on page 4, determine the type of cooking method
you will be following. Turn to the referenced page and assemble any
necessary parts.
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: 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.

the cord assembly in a clean, dry location
away from metal objects. Always check the
magnetic coupler end before use to assure
metal items have not become attached.
