GETTING STARTED

  • Before inserting the lntelliPot plug into your home’s power outlet, please ensure that the outlet voltage is consistent with the voltage mentioned in “Compatibility” section for lntelliPot.
  • When using the lntelliPot, always use oven mitts/pot holders as the glass lid and exterior will become hot during use.
  • It is recommended that you use tools made of nylon, plastic, wood, silicon or melamine for this item.
  • Heating without food, water, oil or other liquids may cause damage to the lntelliPot or stick-resistant coating and void your warranty.
  • Do not scratch the surface or cut directly in your item.
  • Your lntelliPot can be used for boiling, sauteing, frying, steaming or even baking.
  • Please note you should never preheat or cook with your lntelliPot without contents inside. Always ensure you do not let your food boil dry. This can damage your item and void the warranty.
  • Your item can be used with or without the included lifting basket.
  • You may cook in the main body without the basket for things like sauteing or frying, simmering or boiling liquids, and more. With liquid below in the main body, the lifting basket can be used for steaming vegetables, cooking pasta, etc.

USING YOUR INTELLIPOT

  • To steam food in your lntelliPot, add water or another liquid, such as broth, into the bottom of the lntelliPot body and place the food you would like to steam in the lifting basket. The basket should balance on the column inside the lntellipot body. Further instructions follow on how to raise or lower the basket.
  • You may place the glass lid on top of the lntelliPot or choose to use without, depending on your cooking needs.
  • We recommend removing the lifting basket in the case that you are cooking foods that do not require its use. You may find it easier to keep an eye on your food while cooking.
  • When you are ready to use, plug the lntelliPot power cord into your home outlet. Always ensure your outlet is compatible and refer to the “Compatibility” section again if needed. You should hear a single “beep” and see “lntelliPof displayed in the LED screen.
  • Next, press the “Power” button to tum the device on.
  • When the lntelliPot is on, the word “Temp” will show up on the left top comer of the LED screen, indicating that you can choose the temperature you would like to cook at. Please note after approximately 5 seconds, “Temp” will switch to and remain on the “Time” function throughout the cooking process. At any time, you may press the “Temp/Time” button to switch between the two functions.
  • While you are on the “Temp” function, you may use the”+” and “-” symbols to choose between the 5 different temperature options (180°F, 210°F, 240°F, 300°F, and 360°F). Temperature should be adjusted as needed according to your cooking needs.
  • Please note that flashing lights will show on the LED screen while the lntelliPot is heating up to your selected temperature. These lights will stop blinking once the temperature is reached. Please note that water boils at 212°F. Water or water-based products may not reach above this, so the lights may continue to blink even if your temperature is set to 240°F or above. This is okay.
  • To set your time, press “Temp/Time” button and make sure the LED screen shows the word “Time” on the right top comer. In this state, you can use “+” and “-” buttons to set the length of time you would like to cook your food. When the timer reaches zero, the lifting basket will rise and the heat will tum off automatically.
  • Please note if you are cooking without the basket, the center column will still rise once the timer reaches zero. You may simply lower it by pressing the “Down” button. Additionally, the basket will not fully raise if you have the glass lid on. Please remove the glass lid and hit the “Up” button to fully raise the basket if needed for your recipe.
  • The maximum length of time you can set for cooking is 45 minutes. A single, short tap on the “+” button will increase the time by 20 seconds per tap. By holding down the “+” button, you can increase the cooking time by 5 minute intervals.
  • Once the cooking time is over, the lntelliPot will make a “beep” sound and the lifting basket will rise. While cooking, the lntelliPot will show the time remaining on the LED screen. If you do not set the timer on lntelliPot, you may cook for longer than 45 minutes.
  • Note: If you are using the lifting basket and would like to raise or lower it while you are cooking (i.e. to check your pasta), you may press the “Up” and “Down” arrow buttons at any time. This will manually raise or lower the basket when the lntelliPot is on but you have not set the timer, or when the timer has not reached zero.
  • If you are using the lifting basket with your lntelliPot to steam or cook food, you should always protect your hands with oven mitts or gloves and use the included tongs to remove the basket.
  • There are two holes on either side of the center column of the lifting basket. With your hands protected, insert the tongs into the holes of your lifting basket. Squeeze firmly on the tongs to lift the basket from the lntelliPot. Please use extreme caution as your lifting basket will be hot after cooking with it.
    Using Your Intellipot
