IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WARNING!
Do not let children use the appliance un-
attended.
DANGER FROM HOT
SURFACES
Avoid touching the hot surfaces of the cooker – use the
handles or knobs. Be careful of hot steam escaping from
the vent in the lid.
Do not place any parts of this appliance on or near a hot
gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
DANGER FROM
SPILLING WATER AND
FOREIGN BODIES
Keep the space between the inner bowl and the heating
plate free from any foreign particles.
Extreme caution must be used when removing the lid
during operation as the escaping steam is hot and may
cause serious burns.
Extreme caution must be used when moving an ap-
pliance containing hot water or other liquids.
Make sure to use on a heat resistant and even surface.
Keep at least 4" away from walls and other flammables
in a well-ventilated area.
DANGER FROM
ELECTRICITY
To protect against electrical hazards, do not allow water
or other liquids to spill onto the plug or cord, or to enter
the switch mechanism. Do not submerge these parts, or
the body of the oven, in water or other liquids.
Turn OFF and unplug from outlet when not in use;
allow to cool before disassembling parts and before
cleaning.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord. Do
not operate the appliance if it has been dropped.
Under no circumstances attempt to open or repair the
appliance yourself. There is danger of electric shock! Re-
fer all servicing to our Customer Care or to another
qualifed workshop.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
ELECTRICAL CORDThe cord of this appliance was selected to reduce the
possibility of tangling in or tripping over a longer cord.
When using an extension cord, do not let it drape over
the working area or dangle where someone could acci-
dentally trip over it. Handle the cord carefully for longer
life.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before clean-
ing. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts,
and before cleaning the appliance.
Never undertake your own repairs
If the plug, cable or unit is damaged pull the plug im-
mediately from the socket.
Never try to open and/or repair the unit yourself. There
is a risk of electric shock. If there is a defect contact our
Customer Care or other suitable specialist workshop.
Do not clean with metal souring pads. Pieces can break
off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of
electric shock.
Storms
Disconnect if you are away for a long period of time or
there is a storm.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use the appliance for other than intended use of food preparation and ser-
vice. This appliance is intended for household use only.

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup honey
3 tablespoons prepared mustard
