Important instructions to be kept for future reference.

The following basic precautions should always be followed when using electrical

appliances:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

The Appliance

2. This appliance must be used only for the purpose it was expressly designed; any

use NOT complying with the instructions contained in the manual is considered

inappropriate and dangerous. The manufacturer is NOT responsible for possible

damages caused by the inappropriate and/or unreasonable use.

3. The appliance is designed for cooking porridge, chowders, stews, soups, purees,

desserts, baby food & scented teas. DO NOT add a large quantity of liquids other

than water into the Ceramic Pot as the appliance was designed for heating water

only. Different liquids have different boiling points, with volatile liquids having

boiling points lower than 100C, the boiling point of water.

4. The installation/assembly of the appliance will be made in accordance with the

indications of the manufacturer. A wrong procedure may cause damages to

persons, animals or objects, for which the manufacturer cannot be considered

responsible.

5. Before use, check the integrity of the appliance and power cable. DO NOT operate

the appliance when its housing is damaged. In case you are not sure, contact a

qualified person. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the

manufacturer or its service agent or a qualified technician in order to avoid a shock

hazard.

6. Before powering the appliance make sure the rating (voltage and frequency)

corresponding to the grid and the socket is suitable for the plug of the appliance,

and that the wall socket is properly grounded. This appliance is fitted with an earth

wire for extra safety.

7. DO NOT power the appliance using multiple sockets. If possible, avoid the use of

adapters and/or extension cables; if their use is absolutely necessary, use only

materials in compliance with the current safety regulations and according to the

electrical parameters of the adapters.

8. The appliance must NOT be switched on using external timers and/or other remote

control appliances, which are not specified in this manual.

9. Only use original components & accessories (e.g. Ceramic Pot, Glass Lid, etc.)

provided by the manufacturer. Any non-original component or accessory NOT

recommended by the manufacturer (including, but not limited to, Ceramic Pots,

Glass Lids, etc. made by other manufacturers or by the same manufacturer but

for other models of the same capacity or otherwise) may cause injuries to persons

or damage to the appliance.

10. The packing materials (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, etc.) must be kept out

of the reach of children or disabled persons since they represent potential sources

of danger.

Location

11. This appliance is NOT suitable to be used or stored near heat sources (open flame,

ovens, heaters, stoves, etc.) and/or in an explosive environment (in the presence

of flammable substances such as gas, vapour, mist or dust, in atmospheric

conditions when, after ignition, the combustion is spread in the air). Items

containing these substances should never be placed in the appliance, and never

be used to clean the appliance in order to avert the risk of fire or explosion.

12. 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. DO NOT locate

multiple portable socket outlets or power supplies at the bottom or rear of the

appliance. During operation, as heat is transferred away from the appliance, the

surface that the appliance is placed upon as well the surface immediately above

or adjacent to it may become very hot. There should be at least 10 cm of free

space from the back, left & right sides and at least 20 cm from the top to allow

adequate air circulation. Never put things on top of the Glass Lid. Never use the

appliance near curtains or textiles. If the appliance is operated on wooden furniture,

use a protective pad to prevent damage to delicate finishes.

13. Avoid placing the power cable on abrasive or sharp surfaces or in positions where

it can be damaged easily. DO NOT pull the power cable, tug it or use it to drag the

appliance to which is connected. The cable must NOT be placed under carpets,

or covered with throw rugs, runners or similar. Arrange the cable away from the

high traffic area, and where it will NOT be tripped over.

14. DO NOT use or store the appliance outdoors. Store and use the appliance only

indoors, or in any case, protected from weathering such as rain, direct radiation of

the sun and dust.

Operation

15. If you are using the appliance for the first time, you should:

a. Clean the exterior of the appliance with water & detergent with a non-abrasive

sponge.

DO NOT use metal scouring pads.

b. Handle the Ceramic Pot & Glass Lid carefully. They are fragile and are NOT

covered by warranty.

c. “Seasoning” the Ceramic Pot.

Place and use the appliance on a flat, horizontal, stable and heat-resistant

surface. Holding the Lid Handle, remove the Glass Lid and add rice & water

(subsequently, you can add any other food ingredient) to reach about 80%

(max 90%) the height of the Ceramic Pot & replace the lid. Wipe the exterior

of the pot dry and place the pot inside the body of the appliance. Plug the power

cable into the electric mains and switch it on. Turn the ‘ON/OFF’ Rotary Knob

on the Control Panel from ‘OFF’ to ‘HIGH’ (subsequently, you can choose

between ‘LOW’, ‘HIGH’ or ‘AUTO’). The red Indicator light will illuminate, and

the heating will commence.

When the rice & water has become porridge (subsequently other food

ingredients), or should there be a need to stop the appliance from heating,

simply turn the ‘ON/OFF’ switch on the appliance from ‘HIGH’ (subsequently

‘LOW’, ‘HIGH’ or ‘AUTO’) to ‘OFF’. The Power Indicator light will turn off, and

the heating will cease. Turn off the main switch and unplug the power cable

from the electric mains before removing the Glass Lid from the Ceramic Pot.

Be aware that in some instances the appliance would emit a smoky odor after

heating, which is caused by the evaporation of insulator materials and

insulating oil of heating components. The odor will disappear after 1-2 times of

use

d. Always wear protective, insulated oven gloves when inserting or removing

items from the hot appliance.

e. Make sure to remove any label or protective sheet which may prevent its

proper functioning.

DO NOT:

cover the appliance during functioning;

insert objects or body parts inside the protection cover of the appliance;

obstruct totally nor partially the Glass Lid;

overfill food & liquid (greater than 90% volume) in the Ceramic Pot to avoid

overflow of hot water;

add food & liquids into the Protection Pan directly. The Protection Pan holds the

removable Ceramic Pot, and at its bottom, lies the aluminum Heating Plate.

Please pour food & liquid into the Ceramic Pot. If you need to heat the food

quickly, please use hot water (but NOT boiling water) to cook;

switch the appliance on if the Ceramic Pot is dry - however, should the pot be

found empty during operation, immediately turn the ‘ON/OFF’ Rotary Knob on

the appliance from ‘LOW’, ‘HIGH’ or ‘AUTO’ to ‘OFF’, switch off the appliance

and unplug the power cable from the electric mains. Remove the pot from the

appliance but DO NOT add water to the pot as it might crack! Allow the pot to

cool naturally;

heat the Ceramic Pot by any other means, e.g. heating directly on a gas stove,

as the pot can be cracked as a result;

subject the Ceramic Pot or Glass Lid to sudden and rapid gain or loss of heat,

i.e. DO NOT place the pot / lid into hot /cold water, or very hot pot / lid into cold

water suddenly. The large differences in temperature may cause the pot or lid

to develop cracks due to forces of expansion & contraction, and such damage

will NOT be covered by the warranty;

turn the ON/OFF Rotary Knob hard so as to avoid any damage;

use the appliance near curtains or textiles;

leave the appliance unsupervised during operation.

16. During (and immediately after) the period of operation, high temperature steam

may escape from the container. To avoid scalding:

DO NOT

fill water below 50% & beyond 80% of the maximum volume of the Ceramic

Pot;

allow all of the water to be boiled away in order to prolong the life of the

appliance;

use the appliance without any food item in the Ceramic Pot;

remove the Glass Lid while heating& ensure that the lid is tightly closed during

heating;

add food with its packaging (plastic wrapper, paper, foil, metal can, etc.) still

attached without first removing the packaging;

place any container inside the appliance;

move the appliance whilst the appliance is in operation;

remove the pot during heating. Wait until heating has completed, the power

turned off, then unplug the power cable from the electric mains and remove

the pot by lifting its rim carefully;

touch any part of the appliance, except the Lid Handle, Handle or ‘ON/OFF’

Rotary Knob when the appliance is hot and always wear protective, insulated

oven gloves when inserting or removing items from the hot appliance. The

bottom of the cooker becomes exceedingly hot as the cooker operates;

direct steam at any person or animal & one’s hands and face should be angled

away from the rim of the Glass Lid at all times.
