ded. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information. In various foreign countries,
the specifications for power supplies are subject to incompatible norms. Therefore it is possible
that power supplies in foreign countries do not meet the requirements for safe operation of
the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad, ensure that safe operation is
possible.

use. Do not place the appliance on a power cord. Power cords may never be knotted, twisted,
pulled, strained or squeezed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of the
table or counter. The power cord may not touch hot surfaces. Ensure that no one will pull the
appliance by the power cord. Take care not to entangle in the power cord. Always grasp the
plug to disconnect the power cord. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands when the
appliance is connected to the power supply.

not spill or drip any liquids on the power cord or exterior of the appliance. When liquids are
spilled on the appliance or power cord, immediately switch off and unplug the appliance.
High Temperatures – Risk of Burns
The multicooker is designed for cooking and heating a variety of foods and, therefore, the
interior of the appliance will get very hot during operation.
• Becausepot,lidandinterioroftheapplianceareveryhotduringoperationandshortlythe-
reafter, do not touch these parts with your hands, arms or any other parts or your body or any
heat- or moisture-sensitive objects. Do not place the pot on any heat-sensitive surfaces, shortly
after operation. If required, protect your hands and arms with pot holders or oven gloves.
• Always positionsteam vent on lid away from yourself to avoid scalding from escaping
steam.

during operation and shortly thereafter. During operation and immediately thereaf-
ter do not hold your hands, arms or face over the appliance to avoid scalds
caused by steam escaping from the steam vent in the glass lid. In the steam vent
and at the interior of the lid condensate could accumulate and drip and, additionally, large
amounts of steam could escape from under the lid, when opening the lid. When opening the
appliance, keep a sufficient distance to avoid scalds.
•Do not cook any high-proof alcoholic liquor or alcoholic foodstuffs (e.g.
mulled wine, grog) within the appliance to avoid risk of explosion and fire.
Non-stick Coating
The inner pot of your multicooker is provided with a non-stick coating. Do not use hard or
sharp objects for scratching, mixing or cutting on the coatings. Do not use the inner pot as a
mixing bowl. Always remove your foods from the pot, before mixing or cutting. We will not be
liable for damage to the non-stick coating, if metal utensils or similar objects have been used.
Please adhere to the following precautions:
