Welcome to VitaClay! We’re so glad you’re here.

This guide is to help you have a safe and truly satisfying

experience. We have created a line of electronic cooking

devices that are both easy to use and healthy for you and

your family. Enjoy!

Clay is the most traditional cooking material there is, used

in every culture for thousands of years. At VitaClay, we

care about your health and the health of the environment.

That’s why we set out to create cookware that not only

saves time and money in the kitchen but allows you to

utilize traditional cooking methods to turn whole foods into

healthy meals with the push of a button!

We have sourced the world’s purest clay to create our clay

pots, so you can rest assured that no impurities, heavy

metals, toxins or chemicals will ever be leached into your

food. Not only will your food be clean and healthy, it will

taste great and have an unparalleled texture.

Our clays are tested to ensure they are free of the common

contaminants in modern cookware including lead,

aluminum, cadmium and arsenic. And since our pots are

unglazed, you do not have to worry about the harmful

chemicals found in other pots. We just don’t believe

convenience is worth risking your health.

Important Safety Information

When using your VitaClay® Smart Organic Multi-Cooker or

any electrical appliances, basic electrical precautions

should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric

shock and injury, including but not limited to the following:

•Your Smart Organic Multi-Cooker (“Cooker”) appliance

is intended for household countertop use only and is

not intended for commercial or outdoor use. Do NOT

place the Cooker on or near a hot gas or electric stove

burner. Do NOT place the Cooker inside a hot oven or

broiler.

•WARNING: Spilled food can cause serious burns.

Keep appliance and cord away from children.

•CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against risk

of electric shock, connect to properly grounded outlet

only. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug

cord into the wall outlet. When you plug in the power

cord, please ensure a solid connection with the cord and

both Cooker and the electrical outlet. To disconnect,

turn unit off and remove the plug from wall outlet by

holding the plug. Do NOT pull the cord. Never drape

cord over edge of counter. Never use outlet below

counter. Only cook in the removeable container.

Read all instructions before using your Smart

Organic Multi-Cooker. Save for future reference.

•Do NOT immerse the heating unit of the appliance in

water or any other liquid. To prevent electrical shock, Do

NOT place the cord, plug or cooking unit near water or

other liquids. Keep power cord plug and socket dry and

clean. Do NOT touch power plug with wet hands.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook

only in removable container.

•Ensure your Cooker is always placed on a flat, level

surface before use. Provide adequate air space above

and on all sides for air circulation. On surfaces where

heat may cause a problem, an insulated heat pad is

recommended.

•DO NOT move the Cooker when it is in cooking or

warm mode. After cooking, use extreme care when

moving your Cooker or the clay pot insert if it is filled

with hot liquid. Spilled food can cause serious burns.

Keep appliance and cord away from children.

•Always unplug the Cooker when not in use or before

cleaning. Allow the Cooker to cool before cleaning or

removing parts.

•Do NOT use this Cooker for anything other than its

intended use. The use of accessory attachments not

supplied or recommended by Essenergy may cause

injury, fire or electrical shock and may also damage the

Cooker. The Cooker should be used for its intended

purpose only and not for other cooking purposes such

as stir frying, braising, browning or deep oil frying.

•During the cooking process, the steam valve vents

needs to be in place for safety and performance. Do

NOT touch the steam cap during cooking process as it

becomes very hot. Do NOT put your face near the

steam cap, as scalding or burning can occur; Do NOT

place any object that is heat sensitive close to, nearby

or above the Cooker; Do NOT use a cloth to cover the

steam cap, as this may damage the Cooker.

•The clay or stoneware pot and lid become very hot

during the cooking process and/or when cooking is

finished. Use a dry cloth to pick up the clay pot and lid.

Do NOT use bare hands. When lifting the lid on a

heated Cooker, carefully lift and tilt lid away from you to

avoid scalding and to allow condensed water to drip into

pot. Steam and condensation will be very hot; be very

careful not to burn yourself. Do NOT touch hot surfaces;

Use the handles or knobs provided.

•Do NOT operate any appliances that have damaged

plugs or cords, malfunctioned or been damaged in any

way. Return the appliance to the manufacturer or

qualified service technician for repair or adjustment.

Grounding Information and Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. It is equipped with a

3-wire detachable cord with grounded plug. The plug must

be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and

grounded.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounded wire can result in

a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if

necessary. Do NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature by

modifying the plug. The short power cord is provided to

reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping

over a long cord.

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, the cord should

be positioned so that it does not drape over the counter or

tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped

over and:

•Use only 3-wire extension cord with 3-blade grounding

plug.

•The marked rating of extension cord must be equal to or

greater than the rating of this appliance. Electrical rating

is listed on the bottom of this unit.

Caring for your Clay Pot

Unglazed natural clay promotes health by preserving all

essential nutrients and vitamins in your foods. It creates

excellent texture and intensifies flavors of food. In order to

preserve the quality and lifespan of your clay pot, here are

a few helpful tips and instructions to follow:

•ALWAYS avoid temperature shock: never add frozen

items to a very hot pot or place a hot pot on a cold,

marble counter or directly into the refrigerator. Use a

cloth trivet for the counter and allow to cool down before

placing in the refrigerator. Do NOT place the clay pot in

the freezer. Similarly, Do NOT add boiling water to a

very cold pot (out of the refrigerator). Allow the pot to

normalize to room temperature before adding very hot

or very cold items.

•DO use your Smart Organic Multi-Cooker with

adequate water-based liquids. Be sure that water-

based liquids are always present in the clay pot during

cooking to prevent the pot from becoming too dry and

overheated. ALWAYS cook with liquid present at a

minimum of 2 cups (US cup) in the pot but the recipe

may need more.

oFor first-time cooking use that is longer than 1

hour, please CHECK your liquid levels halfway

through cooking time to see if liquid is running low,

add same temperature or room-temperature liquid as

needed. If the liquid is almost gone, turn the machine

off and allow it to cool down before adding more

liquid and then restart the cooking process. Use the

Cooking Chart for the first-time cooking and reduce

or add liquid amount as needed thereafter.

oIf the liquid completely evaporates, the clay pot will

begin “dry heating”, immediately unplug the power

cord, allowing the Cooker to cool down naturally.

During cooling, DO NOT add water or remove your

pot from the Cooker Housing.

oDO NOT cook easy to burn foods like milk,

cheese, tomatoes, instant or quick oatmeal without

enough liquid or for too long. Use the proper

settings, see the Cooking Chart for details.

•The clay parts are designed for cooking with the

provided Cooker Housing ONLY. DO NOT heat the pot

on stove top or oven. NEVER use the pot for frying,

braising, browning or deep oil frying.

•Avoid sudden temperature changes. DO NOT add cold

water to heated pot. DO place hot pot on a fabric or

cotton potholder or dry cloth. DO NOT put hot pot on

any cold surface such as countertop or in the sink.

•When your meal has just finished cooking, the Cooker

will still be hot, DO NOT place clay parts in water or on

cold surface. This can SHOCK the pot to the pot and

may cause it to crack.

•The clay pot is fragile. Be careful when carrying or

storing. Do NOT start cooking function while the clay pot

is empty. Dry heat can cause the pot to crack or break.

Always have some liquid present in the clay pot when

the cooking cycle begins. Please handle with care. DO

NOT hit it on hard surface or drop it, as it may break.

•Be sure that the outside of the pot is dry before

placing inside the housing to cook. If liquids have

been soaking in the clay pot for a very long time, a leak

could occur. Use a dry towel to dry the outside surface

of the inner clay pot.
