Polarized Plug  
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the  
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to  
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 modify the plug in any way.

oven mitts when using the Hot Pot.

Control to LOW.

the way if necessary.

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.

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. Steady the Hot Pot by holding the  
Handle while stirring.

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.

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 spit 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. Wash the inside of the Hot Pot with warm soapy water. Rinse  
thoroughly to remove all traces of the soap.  
3. Clean the outside of the Hot Pot with a damp cloth.  
4. Do not allow water to get inside the base of the Hot Pot.  
5. Do not immerse the Hot Pot in water or any other liquid.  
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.
