IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Failure to follow these instructions and warnings may cause
personal injury, death and/or property damage. To reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock and/or injury to persons, basic safety precautions
should always be followed when using electrical appliances,
including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS, PRODUCT LABELS AND WARNINGS
BEFORE USE.
2. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN
EASILY LOCATE THEM.
3. Close adult supervision is necessary when this appliance is in use
or is used near children. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
4. This appliance is not to be used by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction.
5. Please use extreme caution when removing lid. Burns may result
from residual steam escaping from inside the pot. Lift the lid with
lid bottom facing away from you and allow the drops of water to
trickle back from the lid into the pot.
6. Keep hands and face away from the lid and steam vents during
operation of the appliance. Do not remove the lid while water is
boiling.
7. Do not touch the appliance's hot surfaces. When in use, the
exterior walls and the heating unit attached to the base of the
pot will become very hot to the touch. Always use the silicone
handles. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
8. Do not fill pot over the max fill line indicated on the inside of the
pot. Overfilling may result in boil over. Do not fill pot under the
minimum fill line indicated on the inside of the pot. Underfilling
may result in complete water evaporation before desired process
time is complete and overheating causing permanent damage.
9. DO NOT DRY HEAT THE APPLIANCE. ALWAYS FILL THE POT
FIRST WITH THE RECOMMENDED AMOUNT OF WATER OR
LIQUID. Then add canning jars or other ingredients. This will help
to ensure long life for your appliance.
10. Do not lift or move appliance during operation and/or while hot.
If using unit for manual mode, do not transport without emptying
pot of water or cooked contents.
11. Do not operate the appliance without the pot in place on the
detachable base.
12. Base does not permanently attach to the pot. USE CARE WHEN
LIFTING POT FROM BASE. Do not move the appliance by simply
lifting it up by the handles as it easily detaches from the base.
13. Do not remove pot full of water from the base. Drain the water
using the spigot prior to removing from the base.
