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.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting  
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.  
Do not use an extension cord with this product.  
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-  
PLASTIC coasters or placemats between the appliance and the  
finish of the counter top or table top.  
Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent  
blemishes may occur or stains can appear.

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.

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.

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.  
Typical Cooking Times

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.
