leave the cooked food in the bowl for a long
time, because this may spoil the food.

•

heating up the products.

•

Never leave the operating unit unattended.

•

To avoid scalding, be careful when opening
the lid (4). Do not bend over the steam valve
(6) during operation of the multicooker and
do not place open parts of your body above
the bowl (11)!

•

During the first operation of the multi-
cooker, some foreign smell from the heat-
ing element can appear. It is normal.

•

Watch the food during cooking and, if nec-
essary, stir the products with the plastic
soup ladle (22) or spatula (23). Do not use
metal objects that can scratch the non-
stick coating of the bowl (11).

Loading the products and connecting to the
mains

Notes:

•

Do not use the bowl (11) for washing cereals
and do not chop products in it, this can dam-
age the non-stick coating;

•

Make sure that there are no foreign objects,
dirt or moisture in the process chamber and on
the bottom of the bowl (11);

bowl (11) dry before use.

In the middle of the heating element (9) there is
a temperature sensor (10). Make sure that the
movement of the sensor is not limited.

uids does not exceed the maximal mark «10»

General example of rice loading
Measure rice with the measuring cup (24), wash it
and put into a casserole.
The  water  level  required  for  a  certain  amount  of
rice  is  given  on  the  scale  inside  the  bowl  (11):
rice – «RICE», water level in cups – «CUP». Pour
water up to the corresponding mark.
Example:  After  putting  four  measuring  cups  of
cereal, pour water till the mark «4 CUP» (4 cups).
For liquid porridges the recommended proportion
of rice and water is 1:3.

ipe (see the recipe book).

evenly and is in secure contact with the surface
of the heating element (9).
