switch the appliance on if the pot is dry – however, should the Inner Pot be
found empty during operation, immediately unplug the power cable and add

the pot can be deformed as a result;
leave the appliance unsupervised during operation.

recommended to have between you and the standing surface, an isolating
element (for example, wearing shoes with rubber soles).

container. To avoid scalding:
DO NOT
fill the Inner Pot with hot water;
fill water below 50% & beyond 80% of the maximum volume of the Inner Pot;
allow all of the water to be boiled away;
lift up the Lid while heating & ensure that the Lid is tightly closed during

use the appliance to heat oil or melt butter;
add food with its packaging (plastic wrapper, paper, foil, metal can, etc.) still
attached without first removing the packaging;

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.
