V. CLEANING AND GENERAL MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
Before you start cleaning the device, make sure that it is unplugged and has cooled down. Use soft cloth and mild
soap to clean. We recommend cleaning the appliance after each use.
Prior to first use or in order to remove the odor steam half a lemon for 15 minutes using "STEAM" program.
Do not use a sponge with hard or abrasive surface; solvent and abrasive cleaning methods (gasoline, acetone) are not
allowed. Do not immerse the device in water or wash it under running water.
Steam valve, inner aluminum lid, and the bowl need to be cleaned after each use. The bowl is dishwasher safe. By
the end of cleaning, wipe the bowl dry.
To clean the inner lid:
1. Open the lid.
2. Press 2 plastic holders on the inner side of the lid pointing towards the center until open.
3. Gently pull the inner lid towards yourself and down to get it separated from the main lid.
4. Wipe the surfaces of both lids with wet cloth or tissue. Wash under running water, using mild soap if needed.
Not dishwasher safe.
5. Carry out the assembly in return sequence: slide the inner lid into upper groves overlapping it with the main
lid. Gently push the holders until they click into place. Make sure that the inner lid fits tightly.
The steam valve is located on the top lid of the device and consists of two parts: the cover and the main part. To
clean the steam valve:
1. Take the cover of the steam valve off by pulling it gently up and towards yourself as shown
2. Inside the removed cover, turn the main part of the steam valve anticlockwise (in direction of <open>) to remove.
3. Take the rubber sealing ring out; wash all parts of the steam valve following cleaning and general maintenance
guidelines provided.
CAUTION! Do not twist or stretch the rubber sealing ring to avoid its deformation.
4. Carry out the assembly of the steam valve in return sequence: place the rubber sealing ring back into the
holder; overlap the groves of the main part of the valve with the corresponding ledges on the inside of the
cover and turn the valve clockwise in direction of <close>. Install the steam valve back into the lid of the
device, with the extraction ledge facing the back.
Condensation may accumulate in the special cavity around the bowl and in condensation container at the back of
the device.
1. Open the device and take the bowl out. Lift the front side of the device if needed, to let the condensate flow
down into the container.
2. Pull container towards yourself to remove.
3. Pour condensate out. Rinse the container and put it back into place.
4. Remove condensate remaining in the cavity around the bowl using cloth or tissue.
VI. COOKING TIPS
This chapter familiarizes you with the practical tips and solutions to some common problems you may experience
when using the multicooker.

Solving the Problem
• Try to avoid opening the lid while cooking.
• Close the lid until it clicks into place. Make sure that the rubber sealing ring
located on the inner side of the lid is not deformed or damaged in any way.
• There should not be any foreign objects between the lid and the hous-
ing of the device, remove if any.
• Always make sure that the heating element is clean and fits tightly with
the bowl before cooking.
• We recommend using recipes adjusted for the device. Choose proven
recipes only.
• Set the time and cooking program, choose ingredients, proportions, and
the size of ingredients according to the recipe.

and covered the steam valve.
THE DISH IS OVERCOOKED
Possible Causes
Wrong ingredients, wrong size of ingredients or time settings.
The dish remained in the unit with the "Keep Warm" on for too long after
it's been cooked.
LIQUID BOILS AWAY DURING COOKING
Possible Causes
Milk boils away.
• Ingredients were not properly processed (washed poorly, etc.)
• Wrong general proportions or ingredients.
THE DISH IS BURNT
Possible Causes
• The bowl was not properly washed after last use.
• Non-stick coating is damaged.
General amount of ingredients is smaller than recommended.
Cooking time was too long.
Frying: oil was not added; the ingredients have not been stirred or turned
over.
Stewing: not enough liquid.
Cooking: not enough liquid (proportions were not observed).
Baking: the bowl was not greased before baking.
INGREDIENTS LOOSE THEIR SHAPE WHEN COOKED
Possible Causes
Ingredients have been over stirred.
Cooking time was too long.
• Frying ingredients add an amount of oil enough just to cover the bottom
of the bowl.
• Follow recommendations given in the recipe while deep frying.
• Take the baked product out of the unit, turn it over and place back. Bake
until ready.
• Next time use smaller amount of dough.
Solving the Problem
• We recommend using the recipes adjusted for your model. Try
choosing proven recipes only.
• Set the time and cooking program, choose ingredients, propor-
tions, and the size of ingredients according to the recipe.
We recommend using the "Keep Warm" function moderately. If your
device features the function of disabling the "Keep Warm" in advance,
use it to avoid the problem.
Solving the Problem
Depending on the quality of milk used, it may boil away. To avoid this,
we recommend using only ultra-pasteurized milk with the fat content
of 2.5% or less. Dilute milk with water if needed (p 7).
• We recommend using the recipes adjusted for the device. Try
choosing proven recipes only. Set the time and cooking program,
choose ingredients, proportions, and the size of ingredients ac-
cording to the recipe.
• Whole grains, meat, fish, and seafood need to be rinsed thor-
oughly before cooking.
Solving the Problem
Make sure that the bowl is clean and has no coating defects before
cooking.
Use proven recipes, adjusted for the device.
Reduce the cooking time or follow recommendations given in the
recipe adjusted for your model.
Frying products add amount of oil enough just to cover the bottom of
the bowl. Stir ingredients thoroughly while frying or turn over as required.
Add more liquid. Avoid opening the lid while stewing.
Follow recommended ratio of liquids to solids while cooking.
Grease the bottom and sides of the bowl with butter or oil before
baking (do not pour oil inside).
Solving the Problem
Frying foods, do not stir the ingredients more often than every 5–7
minutes.
Reduce cooking time or follow recommendations given in the recipe
adjusted for the device.
