If necessary, take some food out of the pot, and avoid cooking foodstuffs that will violently
froth. Dry the appliance and the table thoroughly. If the problem persists, send the complete
appliance to an authorized service centre for repair.
Do not place any clothes, napkins, or other foreign objects under or on the appliance or in
the oven compartment, when the appliance is connected to the power supply. Do not place
the appliance on any power cord. Always use cooking utensils of heat-resistent plastic or
wood with the appliance. Do not use any hard or sharp objects with the appliance (e.g.
forks, knives), to avoid damage to the surfaces. Do not use violence!
Risk of Burns! Do not touch the interior of the appliance or the inner pot (or steamer) immedi-
ately after use, and do not place the pot on any heat-sensitive surface! Beware of condensa-
te and steam, when opening the upper cover during or shortly after operation.
Preparing the Cooker for Operation
WARNING: For operation always place the appliance on a level, stable, heat- and
moisture-resistant surface. Do not operate the appliance under overhanging boards, lamps or
near delicate objects to avoid damage caused by steam, splashes and condensate. Do not
operate the appliance on inclined surfaces! Do not move or tilt the appliance during
operation. Before operation, always ensure that the brim of the pot is clean
and the lid and upper cover are closed firmly. Do not spill any liquids on the ap-
pliance or let any liquids run down on or in the appliance. If liquids are spilled on or in the
appliance, immediately switch OFF and unplug the appliance. Thereafter let the appliance
cool down and clean the appliance (See: Care and Cleaning).
1. Place the appliance on a flat, stable, heat- and moisture-resistant surface near a suitable
wall power outlet. (See: Important Safeguards) Leave at least 20 cm of free space
to walls, curtains, boards and other objects on each side of the appliance. Leave at least
100 cm of free space above the appliance to avoid damage due to steam, splashes and
condensate.
2. Before cooking, insert the plug into the outlet on the body, and the power supply plug into
the socket outlet. Insert the smaller plug of the power cord in the appropriate socket at the
rear of the appliance (can only be inserted in the correct orientation). Do NOT connect
the appliance to the power supply, until you prepared the appliance for
use completely.
3. Ensure that the upper cover of the appliance is assembled completely and properly.
At the exterior, the steam vent must be inserted correctly in the central hollow and may not
protrude or fall out when opening the appliance. Press the opening button to open the
upper cover. The lid of the pot must be engaged firmly at the inner side of the upper cover
with the seal at its brim facing towards the oven compartment
(See: Reassembling the Appliance).
4. Ensure that there are no foreign objects in the oven compartment, and the heating plate,
temperature sensor, and the bottom of the pot are clean and there are no residues sticking
to the surfaces (See: Care and Cleaning).
Residues on these surfaces prevent a sufficient thermal contact thus interfering with the
temperature control of the appliance, increasing energy consumption and causing
problems due to overheating. During operation, the pot may not be tilted within the oven
compartment.
5. Select a suitable function for cooking your food according to the following table.
