Helpful Hints

• When heating soups, stews, and solid, liquid-based foods,
stir occasionally.
• Clean pot as soon as it has cooled. Once food has dried
onto the surface, it is more difficult to remove.
• When heating milk or cheese-based soups, set control knob
to middle heat setting to prevent scorching. Stir often.
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, turning off, cooling down, and turning
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.
