Cleaning

Before initial use and after each subsequent use, wash multi-cooker in hot, soapy water and rinse and dry thoroughly,

or wash multi-cooker in an automatic dishwasher. Wipe Control Master



heat control with a damp cloth. DO NOT IM-

MERSE HEAT CONTROL OR MAGNETIC CORD ASSEMBLY IN WATER OR LET THEM COME IN CONTACT

WITH ANY LIQUID.

Note: When washing in an automatic dishwasher the aluminum bottom of the multi-cooker will discolor.

Food residue may be removed from multi-cooker by scrubbing in a circular motion with a stainless steel scouring pad or a

nylon mesh cleaning pad, such as Scotch-Brite* Multi-Purpose Scrub Sponge.

Helpful Hint: For quick, effective, and easy cleaning that virtually eliminates scrubbing, use the following method: Pour

enough water into the emptied multi-cooker to cover food residue. Cover and turn Control Master



heat control to 250°.

Bring water to a boil and while water is boiling, scrape the multi-cooker with a wooden or plastic spatula until the food is

loosened. Remove heat control and wash multi-cooker in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

If the cooking surface has mottling, stubborn, brown or tacky food residue, or if the multi-cooker has developed straw col-

ored or rainbow discoloration as a result of prolonged exposure to high heat, use a powdered cleanser without chlorine or

bleach, such as Bar Keepers Friend* cleanser and polish or Cameo*

copper, brass, & porcelain cleaner. Moisten the multi-

cooker with water. Shake a ﬁlm of cleanser over the cooking surface. Using a stainless steel scouring pad or a nylon mesh

cleaning pad such as Scotch-Brite* Multi-Purpose Scrub Sponge*, scrub the multi-cooker in a circular motion. Wash the

multi-cooker in hot, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. THE FOLLOWING CAN CAUSE STAINLESS STEEL TO

PIT OR CORRODE: STEEL WOOL, OVEN CLEANSERS, AND CLEANSERS CONTAINING BLEACH OR CHLO-

RINE, SUCH AS COMET* AND AJAX*. DO NOT USE THEM.

To detach the handle from the basket for cleaning or for storage, squeeze the handle bars together and tilt the handle to-

wards the interior of the basket. While continuing to squeeze the handle bars, remove the pegs from the peg holes.

Care and Maintenance

To maintain the high quality appearance of stainless steel appliances, avoid using metal utensils in them. In addition, avoid

cutting or chopping food in the appliance with a knife or other sharp utensil. To avoid pitting or creating white dots on the

cooking surface, bring liquids to a boil before adding salt. Stir thoroughly.

Do not overheat or allow the multi-cooker to boil dry as this will cause the multi-cooker to discolor.

Try to avoid getting oil on the bottom of the multi-cooker. Because the unit gets extremely hot, this can result in the oil

baking on the surface and it cannot be easily removed.

Periodically check the screws on the multi-cooker legs for looseness. Retighten, if necessary, with a standard slotted

screwdriver. CAUTION: Overtightening can result in stripping of screws or cracking of legs.
