IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed: 1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 2. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts. 3. Do not touch hot surfaces; use handles. Always use oven mitts when handling hot material. 4. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the multicooker housing in water or any other liquid. If housing falls into liquid, unplug the cord from outlet immediately. DO NOT reach into the liquid. 5. To avoid possible accidental injury, close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. 6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance has malfunctioned or has been dropped or damaged in any way or is not operating properly. Return the appliance to the Customer Service Center (see Warranty for details) for examination, repair or mechanical or electrical adjustment. 7. The use of attachments not recommended by Cuisinart may cause fire, electrical shock, or risk of injury. 8. Do not use outdoors or anywhere the cord or unit housing might come into contact with water while in use. 9. Do not use the multicooker for anything other than its intended use. 10. This unit is not a deep fryer. 11. To avoid the possibility of the multicooker being accidentally pulled off work area, which could result in damage to the cooker or personal injury, do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter. 12. To avoid damage to cord and possible fire or electrocution hazard, do not let cord come into contact with hot surfaces, including a stove. 13. Extreme caution must be used when moving the multicooker containing hot oil or other hot liquids. 14. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven. 15. Do not operate multicooker in water or under running water. 16. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as adding refrigerated foods to a heated pot. 17. CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, COOK ONLY IN THE POT PROVIDED OR IN CONTAINERS PLACED ON THE COOKING RACK IN THE PROVIDED POT. 18. CAUTION: A heated pot may damage countertops or tables. When removing the hot pot from the multicooker, DO NOT place it directly on any unprotected surface. Always set the hot pot on a trivet or a rack. 19. To disconnect, turn any control to off, then remove plug from wall outlet. 20. Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing in an appliance garage always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. NOTICE This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. 2
