How To Use

Before initial use, and after each subsequent use, wash appliance in dishwasher or in warm sudsy water, rinse, and dry. Do not immerse heat control or magnetic cord assembly in water or let them come in contact with any liquid. Prior to first use, “season” the multi- cooker’s cooking surface by rubbing lightly with cooking oil. Remove excess oil with paper towel.

For best results use nylon, plastic, wooden, or rubber utensils to turn, stir, or remove food when not using the steam/fry basket. The use of metal utensils is not recommended.

1.Place multi-cooker on a dry, level, heat resistant surface. The cover should not be on the multi-cooker.

CAUTION: To avoid personal injury, position multi-cooker well back from edge of counter or table. Do not let cord hang or drape over edge of counter or table within reach of children.

2.Insert the probe end of the heat control into the multi-cooker so the two electrical pins on the appliance are fully inserted into the heat control. Then attach the magnetic cord assembly to the heat control by aligning the magnetic coupler end with the two electrical pins located on the back of the heat control (Fig. E). Due to the fact that the magnetic coupler end is polarized, it can only be attached to the heat control one way. When properly aligned, the plug will magnetically attach itself to the heat control. Attach the cord so that the printed patent information on the magnetic plug is facing up. The daisy and cautionary language will be facing towards the counter. If positioned upside down, it will not attach.

Important: The magnetic cord was designed to detach easily from the multi-cooker. As a result, if it is bumped or touched during use it could possibly detach causing the unit to stop heating. Avoid contact with cord during operation. If contact occurs, verify that the cord is still properly connected.

3.Plug the multi-cooker into a 120v AC electrical polarized outlet only.

4.Using the index on page 4, determine the type of cooking method you will be following and turn to the referenced page.

5.Preheat multi-cooker as indicated in the cooking method and follow the cook- ing instructions. During cooking, the pilot light will go on and off indicating temperature is being maintained.

To assure the continued accuracy of the Control Master heat control, avoid rough handling during use and storage. Store the cord assembly in a clean, dry location away from metal objects. Always check the magnetic coupler end before use to assure metal items have not become attached.

Note: When using the multi-cooker for the first time, a slight odor or light smoking may occur as manufacturing residue evaporates. This is normal during initial use.

6.When cooking is complete, turn heat control to OFF. Remove plug from wall outlet and then remove magnetic coupler end from heat control. Allow appliance to cool and detach heat control from multi-cooker before cleaning.
