IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

When using electrical appliances, basic electrical precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury, including the
following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Intended for countertop use only.
3. WARNING: Spilled food can cause serious burns. Keep appliance and
cord away from children.
4. Do not operate any appliances that have damaged plugs or cords, or that
have been damaged in any way. Return the appliance to the manufacturer
or qualified service technician for repair or adjustment.
5. Do not immerse the heating unit of the appliance in water or any other
liquid. To prevent electrical shock, do not place the cord, plug or
cooking unit near water or other liquids.
6. Always unplug the cooker when not in use or before cleaning. Allow
cooker to cool before cleaning or removing parts.
7. Do not touch hot surfaces; Use the handles or knobs provided.
8. Avoid sudden temperature changes. Clay is sensitive to changes in
temperature, so allow it to cool and heat gradually. Placing a cold pot
onto a hot surface or a hot pot in cold environment (such as a very cold
countertop, the refrigerator or freezer) can damage the pot. Also be sure
that the outside of the pot is dry before placing inside the housing to
cook.
9. Do not put cold liquids or food into heated pot. Thaw frozen foods before
placing in heated pot. Do not immerse heated pot into cold water.
(Adding frozen foods to an unheated pot is fine—add liquid before
cooking).
10. Do not place cooker on or near a hot gas or electric stove burner. Do not
place cooker inside a hot oven or broiler.
11. Use extreme care when moving the cooker if it is filled with hot liquid to
avoid spillage or burning.
12. Ensure cooker is always placed on a flat, level surface before use.
13. Closely supervise whenever cooker is being used by or near children.
14. Do not use this cooker for anything other than its intended use.
15. The use of accessory attachments not supplied or recommended by
Essenergy may cause injury, fire or electrical shock and may also damage
the cooker.
16. When plugging machine in, attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord
into the wall outlet.
17. To disconnect, turn unit off and remove the plug from wall outlet by
holding the plug. Do not pull the cord.
