Important Safeguards
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:
- Read all instructions carefully before use.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
- To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or the appliance body in water or other liquid.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact customer service for examination, repair, or adjustment.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
- Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
- Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "off", then remove plug from wall outlet.
- Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
- This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
- The inner pot is NOT removable. Do not submerge the main unit in water.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance does not turn on. | Not plugged in correctly; power outlet malfunction; unit is in "OFF" position. | Ensure power cord is securely plugged into both the unit and a working outlet. Turn the control knob to a heat setting. Test the outlet with another appliance. |
| Food is not heating sufficiently. | Incorrect heat setting; too much food/liquid; lid not properly sealed. | Increase heat setting (e.g., to 600W). Reduce the amount of food/liquid. Ensure the lid is securely placed. |
| Unit automatically shuts off during operation. | Over-heating protection activated; boil dry protection activated. | This is a safety feature. Unplug the unit and allow it to cool down. Check for sufficient liquid in the pot before restarting. |
| Food sticks to the bottom of the pot. | Insufficient liquid; food not stirred frequently enough. | Ensure adequate liquid is used for cooking. Stir food regularly, especially when cooking items prone to sticking. |
