WARNING
When using electrical appliances, always follow
these basic safety precautions.
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory,
or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge unless they are given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used by or near children.
4. ALWAYS PLACE UNIT ON A LEVEL, HEAT-
RESISTANT SURFACE. Intended for counter top use
only. DO NOT operate on an unstable surface.
5. Cooking appliances should be positioned in a stable
location with the handles (if any) positioned to avoid
the spillage of hot liquids.
6. DO NOT place your appliance on a cooktop, even if
the cooktop is cool, because you could accidentally
turn the cooktop on, causing a fire, damaging the
appliance, your cooktop, and your home.
7. DO NOT operate the appliance in an enclosed space
or under low-hanging cabinets. Leave at least 5 inches
of free space on the back and sides and above the
appliance. DO NOT place anything on top of the
appliance. Proper space and ventilation is necessary
to prevent property damage that can be caused by
steam released during operation.

through the Air Outlet Vent. KEEP YOUR HANDS
AND FACE at a safe distance from the Air Outlet Vent.

9. NEVER operate the appliance near any flammable
materials, such as dish towels, paper towels, curtains,
or paper plates.
10. DO NOT plug into an outlet located below the
counter, let the cord hang over the edge of a table or
counter, or let the cord touch hot surfaces.
11. USE CAUTION when moving the Inner Pot during
or after a cooking cycle.
12. Always handle hot Inner Pots with oven mitts while
cooking. Place hot cookware on heat-resistant
surfaces when not seated in the appliance base.
13. CAUTION HOT SURFACES: This appliance
generates heat and steam during use. To avoid
injury, do not touch the hot surfaces during

to prevent the risk of personal injury, fires, and
damage to property. Use handles or knobs.
14. DO NOT USE this appliance for anything other than
its intended use.
15. NEVER FILL THE INNER POT to more than two thirds
capacity. Many foods increase in volume or bubble
vigorously while cooking and might boil over the top.
Cooking with the lid will prevent splatter and possible
injury if bubbles burst and touch exposed skin.
16. NEVER cover the steam release port on the Lid or the
air vents on the back of the base of the appliance.
17. DO NOT OPERATE if the cord or plug are damaged.
If the appliance begins to malfunction during use,
