In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are subject to incompatible
norms. Therefore it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries do not meat the requi-
rements for safe operation of the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad,
ensure that safe operation is possible.
• Do not to use any extension cords or multi socket outlets.
• Always handle the power cord with care. Always completely unwind the power cord be-
fore use. Do not place the appliance on a power cord. Power cords may never be knotted,
twisted, pulled, strained or squeezed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge
of the table or counter. The power cord may not touch hot surfaces. Ensure that no one will
pull the appliance by the power cord. Take care not to entangle in the power cord. Always
grasp the plug to disconnect the power cord. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands
when the appliance is connected to the power supply.
• Do not place or immerse the appliance or the power cord in water or any other liquid. Do
not spill or drip any liquids on the power cord or exterior of the appliance. When liquids are
spilled on the appliance or power cord, immediately switch OFF and unplug the appliance.
High Temperatures – Risk of Burns
The multi-functional cooker is designed for cooking and heating a variety of foods and, there-
fore, the interior of the appliance will get very hot during operation.
• Because pot, lid and interior of the appliance are very hot during operation and shortly
thereafter, do not touch these parts with your hands, arms or any other parts or your body or
any heat- or moisture-sensitive objects. Do not place the pot on any heat-sensitive surfaces,
shortly after operation. If required, protect your hands and arms with pot holders or oven
gloves.
• Even with the appliance properly closed (lid and upper cover properly in place), steam
will escape from the opening in the upper cover during operation and shortly thereafter.
During operation and immediately thereafter do not hold your hands, arms
or face over the appliance to avoid scalds caused by steam escaping from
the steam vent in the middle of the upper cover. In the steam vent and at the
interior of the lid and upper cover condensate could accumulate and drip and, additionally,
large amounts of steam could escape from under the cover, when opening the upper cover.
When opening the appliance, keep a sufficient distance to avoid scalds.
• Do not cook any high-proof alcoholic liquor or alcoholic foodstuffs (e.g.
mulled wine, grog) within the appliance to avoid risk of explosion and fire.
Non-stick Coating
The inner pot of your multi-functional cooker is provided with a non-stick coating. Do not use
hard or sharp objects for scratching, mixing or cutting on the coatings. Do not use the inner
pot as a mixing bowl. Always remove your foods from the pot, before mixing or cutting. We
will not be liable for damage to the non-stick coating, if metal utensils or similar objects have
been used.
Please adhere to the following precautions:
• Do not use the pot with the non-stick coating being scratched, cracked or detached due to
overheating.
• Only use wooden or heat-resistant plastic cooking utensils to stir and serve the food. Do
not use any spray-on non-stick coatings.
