VITACLAY VM7800-5 Operating And Care Instructions page 13

• DO NOT heat your cooker when there is no liquid and food
inside.
• If the liquid completely evaporates the clay pot will begin "dry
heating." Immediately unplug the power cord, allowing the
cooker to cool down naturally. During cooling, DO NOT add
water or remove your crock from the cooker base.
• Water level should always be between the minimum and
maximum marks. Too little or too much water can result in
cooker damage.
• When you plug in the power cord, please ensure a solid
connection with the cord and both the cooker and the electrical
outlet.
• Avoid moving the cooker while cooking.
• Keep power cord plug and socket dry and clean. To avoid
electrical shock, do not touch power plug with wet hands.
• During cooking, there are automatic temperature adjustments,
which may result in a 'clicking" sound. This is normal.
• During cooking, you may stop the cooking mode at any time by
pressing the "MENU/CANCEL" key. It will then revert to the
Waiting Mode with display "0.0".
• If there is a power outage during cooking, you may have to start
the cooking cycle again.
• During the first use of the cooker, it is completely normal to
smell a slight odor when the brand-new heating plate heats up.
• During the first use of the cooker, if the display is blinking,
unplug the power and then plug it back in.
• Keep the cooker surface and cooker base inside clean and on a
flat surface to maintain normal operating conditions.
• Please handle clay and ceramic parts with care. DO NOT hit it
on hard surface or drop, as they may break.
