Cleaning the Hot Pot
CAUTION: TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT IMMERSE HOT POT, ITS CORD, OR ITS PLUG IN
WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
1. With hot pot unplugged, empty out any remaining
liquid or food.
2. Wash the inside of hot pot with warm, soapy water and
rinse with warm water after each use. Do the same with
the cover.
3. Do not clean the heating surface with an abrasive scouring
pad or powder; doing so will damage the nonstick coating.
4. To clean the exterior of hot pot, wipe with a damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive scouring pads or powders as they
may scratch the smooth surface of hot pot.
5. To avoid scale/lime deposit build-up, empty water out of
hot pot after each use.
• NEVER IMMERSE THE HOT POT IN WATER OR OTHER
LIQUIDS.
• NEVER OVERFILL HOT POT. DO NOT ALLOW WATER
OR LIQUID TO RUN OVER TOP OR DOWN SIDES.

Helpful Hints
• When heating soups, stews, and solid, liquid-based foods,
stir occasionally.

foods.
If Your Hot Pot Boils Dry
If your hot pot is accidentally plugged in without being filled
with liquid or food, or is allowed to boil dry, the hot pot will
cycle continuously, switching off, cooling down, and switch-
ing back on. You should:
1. Unplug the hot pot and wait about 15 minutes for the
heater to cool down.
2. Refill the hot pot, then use as normal and check that the
hot pot functions correctly.
