2. After water is heated, pour water out spout into a heat-resistant serving container, making sure cover is secured in place. Water will remain serving hot as long as pot is plugged into an electrical outlet. When less than 2 cups of water remain in the pot, unplug cord from electrical outlet to prevent pot from boiling dry. Remove cover from pot to determine amount of water left inside.

- Cleaning Hot Pot

1. Follow same cleaning instructions as given in "Clean Before Using" section. Always make sure Hot Pot is unplugged from electrical outlet before cleaning. Do not use harsh metal scouring pads or cleansers on Hot Pot or cover as scratching will occur. Do not wash cover or Hot Pot in an automatic dishwasher.

CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or electric shock, do not immerse Hot Pot, its cord or plug in water or other liquid.

■ Special Cleaning To Remove Mineral Deposits

Over time, mineral deposits from water will build up on the inside of pot. These must be removed to prevent possible pitting and damage to the metal bottom which can cause water to leak out of pot. Pitting voids the warranty. To prevent severe buildup of mineral deposits, always empty and clean after each use.

1. To remove mineral deposits, fill pot to the 3-cup level with white distilled vinegar and add water to the 5-cup level. Secure cover onto pot and plug in. Allow solution to heat for 20 to 30 minutes or until deposits are dissolved. If necessary, allow pot to heat longer to remove deposits.
