ciency of the cooker and can cause erroneous temperature and water level sensing. NOTE: Do not use
deliming solution to clean these units. Use of deliming solution will damage all stainless steel parts.)
LOW WATER SENSING automatically de-energizes the heating element if the water in the cook-
pot drops too low. When the water level in the cookpot is below the low-water sensor, such as when
draining and cleaning the cookpot, the controller display will read
LO.
NORMAL WATER LEVEL SENSING, on units configured with the Autofill feature, automatically
adds water during or after a cooking cycle if the water in the cookpot drops to a level lower than ap-
proximately 1¼ inch (32mm) below the overflow drain. With this automatic filling feature, the water
level does not have to be continuously monitored. The cookpot always has the correct amount of water.

Before turning the cooker on, ensure that:
•
the unit is connected to the water supply.
•
the water supply is turned on.
•
the unit is plugged into an appropriate outlet.

you do not intend to immediately begin cooking, press the Simmer Mode switch. The sim-
