grooves and houses the heating unit and Pre-programmed Control Panel. The Base FEATURES & FUNCTIONS holds the Removable Cooking Pot and the Tempered Dome Glass Lid.

B.Tempered Dome Glass Lid : An important feature of the Multicooker is the heat- resistant Tempered Dome Glass Lid. Designed as a full viewing window, the Lid allows observation of the cooking process without opening the Lid. The Lid includes a rubberized safety seal which helps lock moisture into the Pot, providing nutrient retention and tender roasting and slow-cooking results. Opening the Lid while cooking is not recommended, as it reduces the temperature, creating a longer cook time. When deep frying, the Lid should remain off for safety.

To open the Lid after cooking, use the handle on top to lift the Lid up and away from your face. Care should be taken when opening the Lid, as the collected steam may be hot. Use pot holders, if needed, to open the Lid and stand well away from any escaping steam. Place the Lid on a water-resistant surface. Remove the hot food with tongs or utensils as needed.

C. EasyLift Handle Grooves: The engineered EasyLift Handle Grooves on the Multicooker Base allow for the safe movement of the Base, particularly when cleaning A or moving after use. The Multicooker Base should only be moved while it is unplugged and cool to the touch. The Grooves allow the user to safely remove food or liquids as needed.

D. Removable Cooking Pot: The die cast aluminum Removable Cooking Pot holds the Accessory Racks and Basket. The Removable Cooking Pot has a wide wrap-around lip for easy lifting and movement and the interior is nonstick for easy clean-up. Wait until the Pot has cooled completely before moving to clean up.

With the versatility of this Multicooker, the 18 Cooking Modes are only the starting place to create delicious and amazing dishes.

Steaming retains essential vitamins and minerals that can be lost through other cooking methods. Steaming also offers very tender results and, as such, is perfectly suited to seafood, vegetables and other foods that break down quickly with moist heat. Pour water into the Removable Cooking Pot below the Steaming Rack. Place foods either directly on the Rack or in a small, heat-resistant cookware on the Rack. The following hints and tips will help you create quick and easy steamed success with your Multicooker:

• ALWAYS use the Steaming Rack inside the Removable Cooking Pot for steaming. Always use the Removable Cooking Pot as electrical shock can occur if the heating element is exposed to moisture or liquid.

• Place the Rack inside the Removable Cooking Pot, then place food directly on the rack or inside a heatproof plate or dish on top of the rack. Make sure the Tempered Glass Lid can close completely before starting the Steam Mode.

• Place at least 2-inches water in the Removable Cooking Pot to allow the Cooker to steam efficiently. If steaming for more than 30 minutes, fill the water until it reaches the top of the Rack or bottom of the cooking dish. Check frequently to ensure the Pot has water and add water, if needed.

• Steamed desserts turn out beautifully in the Multicooker. Place the Steaming Rack in the bottom of the Removable Cooking Pot. Pour at least 3 cups water into the Pot to ensure the Pot does not become dry during baking. Place a heat-proof dish with your prepared ingredients onto the rack. Place the Lid on top and steam per your recipe. Watch to ensure the Pot has enough water to operate correctly and, if needed, carefully add water.

27 MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE ALWAYS allow the Multicooker to cool completely before cleaning.

Unplug the Multicooker before cleaning.

After each use, clean and dry the Multicooker. Use a damp, soapy cloth to clean the Cooker Base and Tempered Glass Lid. Use only clear water on a cloth to remove soap. DO NOT immerse the Base in water. Use non-abrasive soap only.

After each use, the Removable Cooking Pot may be placed in the dishwasher or washed by hand with the other parts.
