ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Voltage: 120 VAC

Frequency: 60 Hz

Wattage: 700 Watts

NOTE: This Multi-Cooker has a 3 prong

grounded plug. To reduce the risk of

electrical shock, this plug will fit in an

outlet only one way. If the plug does

not fit in the outlet, contact a qualified

electrician. Do not modify the plug

in any way.

A short power-supply cord is used to

reduce the risk resulting from it being

grabbed by children, becoming entangled

in, or tripping over a longer cord.

Do not use an extension cord. If the

power supply cord is too short, have a

qualified electrician or technician install

an outlet near the appliance.

specially suited to each recipe, or visit www.kitchenaid.com/quickstart.

4. To clear the timer after a countdown

has already begun, press START/

ENTER.

Sear (430–450°F/221–232°C)

Searing allows you to prepare meats for

stews, soups, and other dishes. It uses high

temperatures to cook the outside surfaces

quickly, trapping avor and juices inside.

Sauté (330–370°F/166–188°C)

Sautéing is ideal for giving meats and

vegetables a fresh, crisp avor and texture.

Use Sauté for creating oriental dishes,

stir-fries, and breakfast foods such as

sausage and scrambled eggs.

Boil/Steam (192–232°F/89–111°C)

Use Boil/Steam to prepare a variety of

foods such as hot cereals, steam shrimp,

or to heat delicate foods such as sh with

indirect heat.

Simmer (185–210°F/85–99°C)

Simmer is great for soups and stews

where gentle cooking helps yield rich,

hearty avors.

Slow Cook (Low or High)

Slow Cook allows the Multi-Cooker to be

used like a slow cooker, making it ideal for

slow cooking BBQ, chili, and meatballs, to

name just a few.

Keep Warm (165°F/74°C)

Keep Warm mode is designed to keep

foods at serving temperature after cooking

has nished for up to 24 hours. Certain

cooking methods and modes feature an

automatic Keep Warm mode. For other

cooking methods and modes, Keep Warm

can be selected manually.

IMPORTANT: Use Keep Warm only

with fully cooked food. Keep Warm is

intended to keep fully cooked food at

serving temperature.
