Important Notes

The unit operates on standard household 120V power and draws 610 watts during operation; ensure your outlet matches these requirements. While the exterior coating resists fingerprints and stains, some users may prefer periodic cleaning with non-abrasive cloths to maintain appearance. No additional accessories are included beyond the main unit—check packaging contents if starter kits or measuring tools are expected. Always allow the inner pot to cool before washing to preserve nonstick integrity and prolong lifespan. This model does not include built-in timers beyond the two preset delay settings listed.
