3. Set Temperature: Use the dual control knobs on the front of the heating base to set the desired temperature for each side. Turn the knob clockwise to increase heat. The indicator light will illuminate when heating.
4. Cooking: Allow the food to cook. The high power (2100W) ensures rapid heating, with boiling typically achieved in about 3 minutes.
5. Monitor: Keep an eye on the cooking process. The transparent glass lid allows for easy monitoring. The double steam holes help prevent overflow.

Maintenance and Cleaning

1. Disconnect Power: Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Remove Pot: Carefully lift the cooking pot from the heating base.
3. Clean Pot and Lid: Wash the cooking pot and glass lid with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge or cloth. The non-stick coating (bionic carved Star diamond pattern) is designed for easy cleaning and oil filtration. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
4. Clean Heating Base: Wipe the exterior of the heating base with a damp cloth. Do NOT immerse the heating base in water or any other liquid.
5. Storage: Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing. Store the appliance in a cool, dry place.

The split design makes the cooking pot easy to remove and clean.

The non-stick surface allows for effortless flushing and prevents oil residue.

Troubleshooting

• Appliance not heating: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet and the control knobs are turned to an 'ON' position. Check if the circuit breaker has tripped.
• Food sticking to the pot: Ensure sufficient oil or liquid is used. The non-stick coating is effective, but extreme temperatures or lack of liquid can still cause sticking. Avoid using metal utensils that can damage the coating.
• Smoke or odor during first use: This is normal and due to protective coatings burning off. It should subside after a few uses. Ensure good ventilation.
• Soup overflowing: Do not overfill the pot. The double steam holes on the lid help, but excessive liquid or vigorous boiling can still cause overflow. Reduce heat if necessary.
• Uneven heating: Ensure the pot is properly seated on the heating base. The dual heating tubes are designed for even heat distribution.

User Tips

• Preheat for Best Results: For optimal cooking, especially for frying or searing, allow the pot to preheat for a few minutes before adding ingredients.
• Utilize Dual Zones: Experiment with different flavor combinations in each section. For example, a spicy broth on one side and a mild, savory broth on the other.
• Layer Ingredients: When cooking hot pot, add ingredients that require longer cooking times first, such as root vegetables or tougher meats, then add quicker-cooking items like leafy greens or thin-sliced meats.
• Gentle Utensils: Always use silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils to protect the non-stick coating and prolong the life of your pot.
• Easy Cleanup: Since the pot separates from the base, cleaning is much simpler. Wash immediately after use to prevent food from drying and sticking.
