Electric Power
If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your
appliance may not operate. It should be operated on a separate
electrical circuit.

CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the finish
of the counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-

Operating Instructions
Before First Use
1. Carefully unpack your Hot Pot and remove all packaging
materials.
2. To remove any dust that may have accumulated during packaging,
simply wipe the Hot Pot exterior with a clean, damp cloth.
3. Do not use abrasive cleansers.
4. Do not put the Hot Pot, cord, or plug in water.
5. Boil one full Hot Pot of water following the Instructions For Use.
6. Rinse the Hot Pot out with cold water. Wash the Lid in warm,
soapy water, rinse, and then dry thoroughly.
Instructions For Use
1. Place Hot Pot on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
2. Fill the Hot Pot with 8 to 32 (1 to 4 cups) of liquid or food.
3. Lower the Lid onto the Hot Pot. Turn the Lid so the Lid Strainer
covers the Pour Spout opening.
4. Turn the Variable Temperature Control to HIGH.
5. Plug cord into a 120 V AC. outlet. The unit may emit an odor
and/or smoke during the first few uses from oils used in
manufacturing. This is normal for a new appliance.
6. Lift Lid up and away from the Hot Pot. To avoid escaping steam,
approach the Hot Pot from behind the Handle. Grasp the Handle
with one hand. Grasp the Lid Knob with the other hand. Check
to see if food or liquid is boiling.
WARNING: If the Hot Pot has been in use, it may be full of steam,
which will escape as soon as the Lid is opened. Keep hands, face, and
etc. clear of the area above the Hot Pot. Wear oven mitts when using
the Hot Pot.
7. When food or liquid boils, turn the Variable Temperature Control
to LOW.
8. Unplug from wall outlet.
NOTE: Some sparks may be visible while disconnecting plug from
wall outlet. This is normal.
9. Slowly pour water out of the Hot Pot, rotating the Strainer out of
the way if necessary.
10. Lift the front of the Lid and move slightly forward. Then lift the
Lid up and away from the Hot Pot.
11. To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and do not over-tilt the
Hot Pot.
5.
Cooking Other Foods in Your Hot Pot
WARNING: DO NOT USE THE HOT POT TO HEAT OIL, OR TO
MELT BUTTER.
CAUTION: The Hot Pot is not suitable for heating solid foods unless
liquids are added.
Add liquids (e.g. water, milk, soup, etc.), or a mixture of liquids and
solids (e.g. chili, stew, etc.).
WARNING: Do not place any container inside the Hot Pot — all
foods must be removed from the container, can, etc. before being put
into the Hot Pot.
WARNING: Do not overfill the Hot Pot. If the Hot Pot is overfilled,
there is a risk that boiling liquids may boil over.
1. Remove the Lid. (See Operating Instructions.)
2. Fill the Hot Pot with 8 to 32 ounces, (1 to 4 cups) of liquids or a
mixture of liquids and solid food.
3. Turn the Variable Temperature Control to the required setting.
Cooking at Low Setting
1. If you need to watch the food or liquid while cooking, or stir
during cooking, set the Variable Temperature Control below
medium and leave the Lid off.
2. To stir food in your Hot Pot: Using oven mitts to protect your hands,
use a long handled wooden spoon or heat resistant plastic spoon to
stir the food or liquid. Never use metal utensils as these can
damage the non-stick heating surface. Steady the Hot Pot by
holding the Handle while stirring.
6.
Hints For Best Results
◆ If you have a choice between cooking for a short time at high
temperature, or a longer time at a lower temperature, then,
generally, the longer cooking time at the lower temperature will
give better tasting results because cooking at a lower temperature
lessens the likelihood of baking food onto the surfaces of the Hot
Pot, or spattering food from the Hot Pot
◆ Milk, especially full-cream milk, has a propensity to boil over. In
addition to making a mess, this spoils the taste of the milk. So —
use low heat, do not fill the Hot Pot to more than half full, stir
often and watch it carefully.
CAUTION: To avoid spillage of hot foods, if you must move the
food from the Hot Pot to the table for serving, we suggest that you
pour the contents of the Hot Pot into a bowl or dish and that you
carry the dish instead.

on a stove.
7.
Insufficient Liquid
WARNING: Do not plug in the Hot Pot unless it is filled at least to the
MIN mark. Misuse of this kind will shorten the life of the element, it
may bake food on to the surfaces of the Hot Pot, and/or splatter the
contents of the Hot Pot over the surface of the table or counter.
CAUTION: If the Hot Pot does not contain sufficient liquid, the
thermostat will cycle on and off to regulate the temperature, but
eventually the food will bake on to the surfaces of the Hot Pot, and
may be impossible to remove completely.
1. Unplug, then wait until the Hot Pot has cooled down fully before
attempting to remove the contents.
2. The Hot Pot is equipped with a self-resetting thermostat.
3. If the Hot Pot is left without liquid, and left ON for a long time, the
thermostat will cycle ON and OFF to regulate the temperature, but
the unit will not turn itself OFF. Unplug and let the unit cool
completely to allow the thermostat to reset. The Hot Pot will then
be ready for reuse.
User Maintenance Instructions
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user
serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing
requiring disassembly other than cleaning must be performed by a
qualified appliance repair technician.
Care and Cleaning
1. Unplug from the electrical outlet and let the Hot Pot cool down
completely before cleaning.
2. DO NOT IMMERSE THE HOT POT IN WATER OR ANY OTHER
LIQUID.
3. Wash the inside of the Hot Pot with warm soapy water. Rinse
thoroughly to remove all traces of the soap.
4. Clean the outside of the Hot Pot with a damp cloth.
5. Do not allow water to get inside the base of the Hot Pot.
6. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
7. The plastic will discolor with use. This will not affect the
performance of the Hot Pot. To clean some of the food residue out
of the pot, fill the Hot Pot with 2 cups of cold water, dissolve one
tablespoon of cream of tartar into the water, then boil for
3 to 5 minutes. Unplug from the electrical outlet, allow to cool,
then empty.
