Instructions for Use
Before Using the Multi Cooker
Ensure that the multi cooker is unplugged from the mains power supply and that the adjustable temperature control is set to the 'Off' position. Clean the base unit with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Clean the accessories in warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Secure the non-stick cooking bowl to the base unit by fitting it into the four holes in the metal plate in the bottom of the base unit. Note: During the first use, you may notice a slight odour; this is completely normal and will disappear after a few uses.
Using the Multi Cooker
To switch on the multi cooker, plug the power supply cord into the mains power supply and switch the mains power on at the socket if necessary. Turn the adjustable temperature control in a clockwise direction to select the desired temperature setting. Note: During cooking, the heat indicator light will cycle on and off; it will illuminate red ? when the appliance is heating up or when it is maintaining the correct temperature.
Using the Multi Cooker for Frying
Attach the handle to the frying basket by hooking it into position. Carefully pour oil into the non-stick cooking bowl, up to the Max. line (1 inch) marked on the inside. ⚠️ Warning: Never fill above the Max. fill line. Set the adjustable temperature control to between 180-200°C; the heat indicator light will illuminate red ? to signify that the multi cooker is heating up. Once the desired temperature has been reached, the heat indicator light will switch off. Place the food to be cooked into the frying basket and slowly lower it into the oil. When the food is cooked, carefully lift the basket out of the non-stick cooking bowl using the handle and place the food on a dry paper towel; this will absorb some of the excess oil from the food. Turn the adjustable temperature control to the 'Off' position ?️ Off and then switch off the multi cooker at the mains power supply.
Using the Multi Cooker for Slow Cooking
Place the food to be cooked into the non-stick cooking bowl, ensuring that there is sufficient liquid to cover the food and then place the tempered glass lid onto the base unit. Set the adjustable temperature control to between 80-100°C; the heat indicator light will illuminate red ? to signify that the multi cooker is heating up. Once the food is cooked, turn the adjustable temperature control to the 'Off' position ?️ Off and then switch off the multi cooker at the mains power supply. Note: Cooking times will depend upon the food to be cooked, however, slow cooking food at 80°C will take approximately 8 hours and slow cooking food at 100°C will take approximately 5 hours. Note: To prevent loss of heat and moisture, do not lift the lid off the base unit during cooking.
Using the Multi Cooker for Grilling
Place a small amount of cooking oil, butter or margarine into the non-stick cooking bowl. Place the steamer rack into the non-stick bowl so that it hangs down.

Once the oil has heated up or the butter or margarine has melted, place the food to be cooked onto the steamer rack. Once the food is cooked, turn the adjustable temperature control to the 'Off' position ?️ Off and then switch off the multi cooker at the mains power supply.
Using the Multi Cooker for Steaming
Pour water into the non-stick cooking bowl, up to the Max. line (1 inch) marked on the inside of the non-stick cooking bowl. Place the steamer rack into the non-stick cooking bowl so that it hangs down, then place the food to be cooked onto the rack. Place the tempered glass lid onto the base unit, then turn the adjustable temperature control to between 200-240°C; the heat indicator light will illuminate red ? to signify that the multi cooker is heating up. When the food is cooked, turn the adjustable temperature control to the 'Off' position ?️ Off and then switch off the multi cooker at the mains power supply. Remove the cooked food from the steamer rack using a wooden or plastic cooking utensil. Note: Some recipes may require the food to be wrapped during the cooking process. Ensure that recipe guidelines are followed. Note: To prevent loss of heat and moisture, do not lift the lid off the base unit during cooking. ⚠️ Warning: When removing cooked food from the steamer rack, be careful to avoid any hot steam that may escape from the appliance, as this could cause injury. Allow the multi cooker to cool fully before removing the steamer rack from the non-stick bowl.
Using the Multi Cooker for Roasting
Place the food to be cooked into the non-stick cooking bowl. Set the adjustable temperature control as instructed in the recipe; the heat indicator light will illuminate red ? to signify that the multi cooker is heating up. Once cooking is complete, ensure that the food is removed using a non-metallic utensil to prevent damage to the non-stick coating. When the food is cooked, remove it from the non-stick cooking bowl. Turn the adjustable temperature control to the 'Off' position ?️ Off and then switch off the multi cooker at the mains power supply.
Using the Multi Cooker for Cake Baking
Prepare the cake batter following a recipe or alternatively, use a cake mix that has already been prepared. Fill a silicone cake mould halfway with the batter mix and place it into the non-stick bowl. Ensure that the temperature of the multi cooker does not exceed the silicone cake mould's maximum heat limit; check the instruction manual provided with your silicone cake mould. To check that the cakes are ready to be taken out of the multi cooker, insert a toothpick into the cake; if it can be removed clean, the cake is cooked. Note: Try not to remove the tempered glass lid whilst the batter is cooking. Note: Always use silicone bakeware in the multi cooker when baking.
Using the Multi Cooker for Stir-frying
Set the adjustable temperature control to between 200-240°C; the heat indicator light will illuminate red ? to signify that the multi cooker is heating up.
