6. Place the lid on the cooker.

NOTES

7.Plug into a standard electrical outlet. The Warm (CALENTAR) light comes on.

8.Press down the On switch. The Cook (COCINAR) light comes on and cooking begins. As the soup or stew cooks, steam may come out through the steam vent on the lid.

Caution: Do not put your hand over the steam vent as you may get burned with the hot steam.

9. Set your kitchen timer for desired cooking time.

Note: The On switch on the cooker is not intended to be an indicator of cooking time for soups or stews. Always use a kitchen timer.

10. If desired, stir several times during the cooking process.

Caution: When removing the lid, lift away from your body as you may get burned with the hot steam.

11.Place lid back on the cooker when stirring is done.

12.If desired, check seasoning level during cooking and add additional seasoning to taste.

13.When cooking is complete, unplug the unit.

CAUTION: Do not keep cooked soups or stews in the Warm (CALENTAR) cycle. Always unplug the unit after cooking is complete.

FOR BEST RESULTS

1.Choose recipes that will cook in 1 hour or less.

2.Always use a kitchen timer. Do not rely on the On switch on the cooker since it is not intended to be an indicator of cooking time for soups and stews.

3.Use only boneless meats and poultry that are cut into cubes no larger than 112 inches. It is not necessary to brown the meats before cooking.

4.When cooking rice or pasta in the soup, allow for additional liquid in the recipe.

5.Since most frozen vegetables cook very quickly, it is best to add them at the end of the cooking time. Stir them into the soup or stew and allow the mixture to cook an additional 5 to 10 minutes.

Care and Cleaning

This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel.

1.Always unplug the unit before cleaning.

2.Never immerse the unit in water or other liquid.

3.Wash the lid, the steaming basket, the cooking bowl, serving scoop and rice measure in warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads—they may scratch the nonstick surface or could result in poor contact with the heating plate.

4.After it has thoroughly cooled, clean the unit by wiping the inside and outside surfaces with a damp soapy cloth and dry thoroughly.

5.If water accidentally gets into the switch area or onto the heating plate, allow to dry thoroughly before using the rice cooker.
