 IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED WHEN USING
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
1 Read all instructions thoroughly.
2 Avoid touching hot surfaces and do not close or clog the steam vent opening under any
circumstances. The handles are provided for your safety and protection.
3 To prevent hazardous operation or electric shock, do not immerse power cord, power plug, or
Multicooker (except pot and lid) in water or other liquids.
4 Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children.
5 Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the appliance to cool before adding
or removing parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
6 Do not use or operate the appliance with a damaged cord or plug. If the appliance malfunctions or
has been damaged in any manner, unplug the appliance and return it to the nearest authorized
service facility or dealer for examination, repair or adjustment.
7 The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may be
hazardous or may cause malfunction.
8 Do not use outdoors.
9 Keep the power cord away from hot surfaces and do not let the cord hang over the edge of tables
or counters.
10 Do not place the appliance on or near a heated surface such as a gas or electric stove, or in a
heated oven.
11 Always use extreme caution when moving appliances containing hot contents or liquids.
12 Plug the cord into a household electrical outlet. To disconnect, press the START/CANCEL button,
then remove plug from wall outlet.
13 Do not use the appliance for other than intended or specified purposes.
14 To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only the supplied pot.
15 The plug to the appliance should be attached first before plugging the cord into a wall outlet.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
This appliance is supplied with a short power cord to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or
tripping over it. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is
used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance, and a longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug was designed to fit into a polarized outlet in only one direction. If the plug does not fit
fully into the outlet, do not attempt to force it or modify it in any way. Simply reverse the plug and
insert. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.

• When using aluminum foil or parchment paper, do not completely cover the holes on the Steam Basket, or allow it to
extend outside the Steam Basket. Doing so may cause breakdown, boiling over.
• Water will evaporate if steaming continuously. Monitor the Multicooker and add water when necessary to prevent it
from becoming empty.
• Large cuts of meat or fish may take a long time to cook and harden if steamed too long. To avoid this, please cut the
meat or fish into smaller pieces for reduced cooking time.
• Adding herbs, garlic, salt, pepper, etc., to the meat or fish before steaming will reduce odors.
• If all the water evaporate and the Pot becomes empty while cooking, white or light brown colored specks may adhere
to the Pot. This is caused by the mineral content (calcium, iron, etc.) of the water used and the color of the Pot itself
will not be affected. Although it presents no sanitation risk, they should be removed as soon as possible upon

difficult to remove.

• Unplug the Multicooker and allow it to cool down before cleaning.

• Do not use the following:
• Detergents other than mild kitchen detergent, such as thinner and bleach. (Using these may cause
discoloration, cracks, or degradation.)
• Nylon brushes, scrubbing brushes, anything made with metal, melamine sponges, and sponges with a
nylon surface. (Using these may damage the surface.)
• Do not use polishing powder on anything other than the Pot (stainless steel portion). (Doing so may
damage the surfaces.)
• If using a cloth that is chemically treated, do not scrub forcefully or leave it on the Multicooker for
a long time. (Doing so may damage the surface or cause chemical changes.)
• Do not use a dishwasher or dish-dryer. (Doing so may cause discoloration.)
• After cleaning, wipe away any moisture using a dry, soft cloth.

 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE (cont.)
Cleaning and Maintenance of the Pot
ec1ean the Pot immediately after completion of cooking using mild kitchen detergent, then rinse
thoroughly with water. If difficult to clean, refer to "If the Pot is Difficult to Clean" below.
• Do not clean the Pot until it has cooled. Doing so may cause burns, deformation of the Pot, or breakage of
the Pot Handles.
• Cooked food left in the Pot for a long period of time can cause rusting or discoloration.
• Do not leave metallic items such as those made of iron, in the Pot. Rust from the metal could transfer to the
stainless steel surface, causing the stainless steel itself to rust.
• When foreign matter such as food become stuck in the Pot Handles, remove with a bamboo
skewer or something similar.
e 11 rice/quinoa or cooked foods become difficult to remove, fill with hot water and allow to soak.
• Wipe off any moisture after cleaning.
• If the Pot is left unwiped after being washed, trace amounts of minerals (iron, copper, calcium, magnesium,
etc.) contained in tap water can become adhered, causing stains (such as white spots or iridescent
discoloring) to remain.

If the Pot is Difficult to Clean
