Place the appliance on a flat, dry surface. Holding the Lid Handle, remove the Lid and add
water to reach about 80% the height of the pot. Again holding the Lid Handle, put back
the Lid, plug the Connector of the power cable to the appliance first, then the plug of the
power cable into the electric mains and switch it ON. Turn the ‘ON/OFF’Rotary Knob to
“LOW”. The Heating indicator light will light up, and the heating will commence. Wait for 5
minutes and turn it to “MEDIUM”. Wait for another 5 minutes and turn it to“HIGH”. After 10
minutes, switch off the electric mains and unplug the power cable. Then, unplug the
Connector of the power cable to the appliance. Wait for the water to cool to room
temperature. Discard the water and rinse the Lid and Inner Pot under running water.
Be careful not to allow water to enter the internal parts of the appliance. Thereafter the
appliance is safe to use.
Should there be a need to stop the appliance from heating, simply turn the‘ON/OFF’
Rotary Knob on the appliance to ‘OFF’. The Heating Indicator light will turn off, and the
heating will cease. Switch off the electric mains and unplug the power cable. Then, unplug
the Connector of the power cable to the appliance.

cover the appliance during functioning;
obstruct totally nor partially the Lid or the Steam Vents;
insert objects or body parts inside the protection cover of the appliance;
overfill solids or liquids (beyond the “FULL”mark on the Inner Pot) to avoid overflow of hot
liquids;
switch the appliance on if the pot is dry - however, should the pot be found empty during
operation, immediately switch off the electric mains, unplug the power cable, unplug the
Connector of the power cable to the appliance and add water to avoid dry-boil;
heat the Inner Pot by any other means, e.g. in a microwave, oven or on a frying pan filled
with water and placed directly on a gas stove, as the plastic components can be deformed
as a result;
use metal utensils as they may scratch the surface of the Inner Pot – use the wooden
spatula provided;
leave the appliance unsupervised during operation.

flow into the internal casing of the appliance to prevent electric shock. In case of accidental
fall in water, DO NOT try to take it out, but first of all unplug immediately the power cable
from the socket.
Place the appliance at a proper distance from the objects or surrounding walls making sure
that its functioning will not cause accidental damages. There should be at least 10 cm of free
space from the back, left & right sides, and the top of the appliance. Never put things on top
of the Lid.
The appliance should NOT be placed on a surface or in the vicinity of objects which can be
damaged by heat, such as carpets or plastics. When using the appliance, the surface that the
appliance is placed upon as well the surface immediately above (e.g. a wooden cabinet
above the appliance), may become very hot. If the appliance is operated on wooden
furniture, use a protective pad to prevent damage to delicate finishes.
