Special Cord Set Instructions
To reduce the risk of electric shock, plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical
outlet that is easily accessible. This plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet in only one way. If
the plug does not fit into the outlet, flip the plug. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
For safety reasons, the power supply cord is designed to be short to minimize the possibility of
entanglement or tripping.
WARNING: Spilled food can cause serious burns. Keep appliance and cord away from children.
Never drape cord over edge of counter, never use outlet below counter, and never use with an
extension cord.

cooker combining the benefits of a Pressure Cooker, Sauté Pan, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Steamer,
