OPERATING QUICK GUIDE
Never load the Inner Pot beyond the MAX line (X). Rotate the Inner Pot to make certain that it is
seated properly on the Heating Plate.
• Always make certain the Steam Vent (G) is clear of any obstructions, especially food debris.
Note: The small holes in the Inner Lid (B) are for ventilation, and like the Steam Vent (G) must
also remain clean and free of food debris.
• Attach the AC Power Cord (E) to the cooker (D) then plug the AC Power Cord into standard
240V power outlet.
• Place ingredients in the Inner Pot (C) as per the recipe. Place the Inner Pot into the cooker.
Put on the Outer Lid (A). When properly placed, the lid will not rotate.
• Secure the Outer Lid (A) with the Lid Locks (F).
Note: The Ecopot Quick Pot remains in Heat Mode until the unit reaches a predetermined
internal temperature. Once that temperature is reached, the unit automatically switches to the
“Keep Warm”Mode preventing overcooking or burning. Follow the procedures and “Cooking
Times”shown in the recipe booklet until you become fully familiar with the unit’s operation.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
• Never use the WARM function for longer than 2 hours.
• If Quick Pot switches to WARM mode before food is fully cooked, inadequate liquid content
has been added.
• Overly sweet or oily foods can cause Quick Pot to switch to WARM earlier than desired.
If this occurs, add more liquid.
• When baking in the Quick Pot, you will need to press COOK more than once. Once
Quick Pot has finished cooking and turns to Warm mode, wait 5 minutes and press
COOK again.
• The WARM setting keeps food above 60ºC, the food safety standard for bacteria.
• Never double recipe quantities. Doing so may force excess hot liquid to spill out of the steam
vent. If this occurs, unplug the Quick Pot and allow it to cool thoroughly before removing the
lid to avoid possible injury.
SPECIFICATIONS
Model Number Power Rating Functions Operating Temperature
ECPQP01 240V, 60HZ, 200W Cook, Warm Cook 100º-103ºC / 212º-217ºF
Non stick inner pot Warm 60º-80ºC / 140º-176ºF
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Cook Switch
In the event that the cookers mode switches from Cook to Warm and
meal is not cooked to your satisfaction (usually puddings, muffins, dense
meats and cakes) the cookers auto thermo sensor will require a short
return period, ie to return to a thermal cooler temperature. Then the
cooker can be switched back to cook mode. This is not a fault with the
unit, but a built-in anti overheating precaution.
Over Filling
ENSURE COOKER IS NEVER OVER FILLED WITH LIQUID. ALWAYS KEEP
STEAM VENT OPEN AND CLEAR OF DEBRIS AT ALL TIMES. FAILURE TO
DO SO MAY RESULT IN CONDENSATION FORMING ON THE COOKERS
SIDE AND RISK EXPOSURE TO CIRCUIT SHORTENING. WHEN PUTTING
THE LID ON, ALWAYS POSITION THE STEAM VENT AT THE BACK OF
THE COOKER AND NOT AT THE FRONT. [X = Steam Vent ]
Power Cord
Always ensure the black power cord is fuly inserted into the cookers power
supply socket. Failure to do so may cause the circuit to shorten and result
in power outage. No responsibility can be taken with failure to do so.
