GENERAL USE
BEFORE FIRST USE
• Remove all packing material, any stickers, and the plastic protector from over the
power plug.
• Select a location where this unit is to be used. Place the unit on a stable, heat
resistant surface, free from cloth, liquids and any other flammable materials. Ensure
that the unit has enough space all the way around and above it to allow heat and
steam to flow without damage to cabinets, walls or over head cupboards.
• Remove and save instruction booklet.
• All parts of the Digital Multicooker need to be thoroughly cleaned before being used
for the first time (see 'Care and Maintenance').
• Place the clean, dry cooking bowl in the cooking base.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DIGITAL MULTICOOKER
• It is not necessary to preheat the multicooker (except for sear function)
• The cooking bowl gets hot. When in use, always use oven mitts or potholders when
touching any outer or inner surface of the appliance.
• During the first few minutes of use you may notice some light smoke and a slight
odour. This is normal.
• As the food cooks, steam will escape through the steam vent cap. Position the grain
cooker so the steam vent is facing away from cabinets, walls or over head
cupboards.
CAUTION: Do not place hand over steam vent while cooking. The hot steam may cause
burns.
• Use the plastic serving spoon (or a wooden spoon) to stir and remove food in the
cooker. Do not use metal utensils that can scratch the non-stick cooking bowl.
• Do not fill the cooking bowl higher than recommended. There are different maximum
fill levels for different ingredients. Refer to the cooking charts provided.
• When the multicooker is plugged in, three dashes will blink on the display screen,
indicating that the appliance is on standby and ready to program.
• Display screen indicates that the
cooker is in use: solid numbers with
a blinking colon sign (:) or dashes
flashing in a clockwise rotation.

minutes it has been in keep warm
mode. After 30 minutes the
appliance will beep three times and
turn itself off.

or legumes functions are complete,
