5.1 Kneading Function

This function simulates manual dough kneading with a 3-stage variable frequency program, followed by constant temperature fermentation.

1. Prepare Ingredients: Add your desired ingredients to the 4L ceramic dough bucket. For example, for basic dough, add 300g flour and 150ml water.
2. Select Program: On the control panel, select the appropriate kneading program (e.g., 'Chinese-style dough' as shown in the video).
3. Start Kneading: Press the start button. The mixer will execute a 3-stage variable frequency kneading process:
   • Low Speed: Blends water and flour.
   • Medium Speed: Uniformly mixes and softens the dough.
   • High Speed: Develops the gluten structure, resulting in smooth and delicate dough.
4. Fermentation (Optional): After kneading, select the fermentation function. The appliance will maintain a constant temperature of 32°C-38°C for optimal dough rising. The transparent top cover allows you to monitor the fermentation process.

5.2 Stuffing Function

1. Prepare Basket: Place food items into the 2L air fryer basket.
2. Add Water (Optional): For certain recipes, add a small amount of water to the bottom of the air fryer basket to create micro-steam circulation, helping to lock in moisture.
3. Select Program: Choose the desired baking or air frying program on the control panel. The control panel displays temperature and time settings (e.g., 190°C).
4. Start Baking: Press the start button. The 3D hot air will circulate to cook your food evenly.
