V. GENERAL MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
Before cleaning the appliance, ensure that it is unplugged and has cooled down. Prior
to the first use or in order to remove the odour after cooking, wipe the bowl and the
inner lid of the appliance with vinegar-water solution and steam half a lemon for 15
minutes using the “ПАР” programme. Use a soft cloth and mild soap to clean. It is recom
-
mended to clean the appliance after each use.
Do not use a sponge or tissue with hard or abrasive surface or any chemically aggressive
substances to clean the appliance. Do not immerse or wash it under running water.
Clean the housing when necessary. Clean the inner bowl after each use. The bowl is
dishwasher safe. By the end of cleaning wipe the outer surface of the bowl dry. Clean
the inner aluminum lid after each use (not dishwasher safe):
1. Open the main lid. Pull the inner lid up, holding it by two plastic holders lo
-
cated on its lower part, to detach from the main lid.
2. Wipe the surface of the inner lid with a damp cloth. If necessary, wash with
warm water and mild soap.
3. Position the aluminum lid into the upper slot, align with the main lid, and push
plastic holders until the the lid clicks into place.
Clean the steam release valve after each use:
1. Detach the inner aluminum lid and gently pull the valve, holding it by the ledge,
to remove. Rinse the valve under running water.
2. Let dry and place back into its original position.
Condensate accumulates in the condensation collector, located on the back of the unit.
1. Pull condensation collector toward yourself to remove.
2. Pour out the condensate. Rinse the collector, following the cleaning guidelines
provided, and position it back into place.
Compliance with the user manual guidelines minimizes the risk of food particles or
liquids accumulating inside the cooking chamber. However, if the inside of the chamber
gets dirty, clean it to prevent improper operation or malfunction of the unit.
Before cleaning the cooking chamber ensure that the Multicooker is unplugged and
has cooled down thoroughly!
Walls of the cooking chamber, the surface of the heating disk, and the casing of the
central thermal sensor (located in the middle of the heating disk) need to be cleaned
with a damp (not wet!) sponge or cloth. Remove any traces of soap or detergent if using
any to prevent extraneous odours during cooking.
If there is a foreign object in the cavity around the central thermal sensor, carefully
remove it using tweezers, trying to avoid pressing on the casing of the sensor. Clean the
heating disk with a damp medium-hard sponge or a synthetic brush, if necessary.
When the Multicooker is used on a regular basis, the heating disk may partially or
completely change colour, which does not indicate a defect and does not affect the
operation of the unit.
VI. COOKING TIPS
Common Cooking Mistakes and Ways of Solving Them
This chapter familiarizes you with the practical tips and solutions to some common
problems you may experience when using the Multicooker.
THE DISH IS UNDERCOOKED
Possible Causes
To Solve the Problem
Cooking temperature was not observed
because the lid of the appliance was
either open or was not closed properly.
Try to avoid opening the lid while cooking.
Close the lid until it clicks into place. Ensure that
there are no foreign objects between the lid and
the housing and that the rubber sealing ring is
not deformed or damaged in any way.
Cooking temperature was not observed
because the bowl did not make full
contact with the heating element.
Properly position the bowl inside the appliance,
ensuring that it makes full contact with the heat
-
ing element.
Ensure that there are no foreign objects inside
the cooking chamber and that the heating ele
-
ment is clean.

We recommend using recipes adapted for the
appliance. Choose proven recipes only.
Use ingredients, proportions, cooking programme,

the bowl is too small to create enough
steam.
Use the amount of water recommended. If in

through):
Proofed dough has
reached the lid and
blocked the steam re
-
lease valve.
Use smaller amount of dough.
Too much dough in the
bowl.
Take the dough out, turn over, place back, and
continue cooking. Next time use smaller amount

Use ingredients according to the recipe. Try to avoid
using ingredients causing excess moisture or use
them in smaller amounts.
