Operating Instructions

- Mode I (250W): This low power setting is suitable for gentle cooking, simmering, keeping food warm, or preparing dishes like noodles, oatmeal, and soup.
- Mode II (600W): This high power setting is for rapid boiling, sautéing, frying, and cooking dishes that require higher heat, such as steak or fried rice.
Cooking with the Pot
- Add desired ingredients to the non-stick pot.
- Select the appropriate power setting (Mode I or Mode II) using the switch on the handle.
- Place the glass lid on the pot to retain heat and moisture, if necessary.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your DEZIN Electric Hot Pot.
- Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Clean the interior: The non-stick interior of the pot can be wiped clean with a soft sponge or cloth and mild dish soap. Rinse with a damp cloth, being careful not to let water enter the electrical components at the base or handle.

- Avoid abrasive cleaners: Do not use metal scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, or harsh detergents, as these can damage the non-stick coating.
