IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic
safety precautions should always be followed:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces; use handles.
Always use oven mitts when handling
hot material.
3. To protect against risk of electrical shock,
do not immerse the multicooker housing
in water or any other liquid. If housing
falls into liquid, unplug the cord from
outlet immediately. DO NOT reach
into the liquid.
4. To avoid possible accidental injury, close
supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance has malfunctioned or has been
dropped or damaged in any way or is not
operating properly. Return the appliance
to the Customer Service Centre (see
Warranty for details) for examination,
repair or mechanical or electrical
adjustment.
7. The use of attachments not
recommended by Cuisinart may cause
fire, electrical shock, or risk of injury.
8. Do not use outdoors or anywhere the
cord or unit housing might come into
contact with water while in use.
9. Do not use the multicooker for anything
other than its intended use.
10. This unit is not a deep fryer.
11. To avoid the possibility of the multicooker
being accidentally pulled off work area,
which could result in damage to the
cooker or personal injury, do not let cord
hang over edge of table or counter.
12. To avoid damage to cord and possible fire
or electrocution hazard, do not let cord
contact hot surfaces, including a stove.
13. Extreme caution must be used when
moving the multicooker containing hot oil
or other hot liquids.
14. Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven.
15. Do not operate multicooker in water or
under running water.
16. Avoid sudden temperature changes,
such as adding refrigerated foods to
a heated pot.
17. CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK, COOK ONLY IN THE
POT PROVIDED OR IN CONTAINERS
PLACED ON THE COOKING RACK IN
THE PROVIDED POT.
18. CAUTION: A heated pot may damage
countertops or tables. When removing
the hot pot from the multicooker, DO NOT
place it directly on any unprotected
surface. Always set the hot pot on a trivet
or a rack.
19. To disconnect, turn any control to off,
then remove plug from wall outlet.

INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD
USE ONLY
SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to
reduce the risks of becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords
may be used if care is exercised.
If an extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance. The 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.
NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one
prong is wider than the other). As a safety
feature, this plug will fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
