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 (scheme A5 , p. 6):
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
) 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 . 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.
5. 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.
6. Pull container towards yourself to remove.
7. Pour condensate out. Rinse the container and put it back into place.
8. Remove condensate remaining in the cavity around the bowl using cloth or tissue.
Compliance with the user manual guidelines minimizes the risk of food particles or liquids
accumulating inside the cooking chamber. However, if the inside of the chamber gets dirty,
clean it to prevent improper operation or malfunction of the unit.
Before cleaning cooking chamber ensure, that the multicooker is unplugged and has completely
cooled down!
Walls of the cooking chamber, surface of the heating disk, and the casing of central thermal
sensor (located in the middle of the heating disk) can be cleaned with a damp (not wet!)
sponge or cloth. Remove any traces of soap or detergent if using any to prevent unwanted
odours during cooking.
If there is a foreign object in the cavity around central thermal sensor, carefully remove it
using tweezers, trying to avoid pressing on the casing of the sensor. Clean heating disk with
a damp medium-hard sponge or synthetic brush, if necessary.
When the multicooker is used on a regular basis, heating disk may partially or completely change
color, which does not indicate a defect and does not affect proper operation of the unit.

Before repeated operation or storage completely dry all parts of the appliance. Store the
assembled appliance in a dry, ventilated place away from heating appliances and direct sunlight.
During transportation and storage, do not expose the device to mechanical stress, that may
lead to damage of the device and/or violation of the package integrity.
Keep the device package away from water and other liquids.
V. COOKING TIPS
Common Cooking Mistakes and Ways of Solving Them
This table familiarizes you with the practical tips and solutions to some common problems
you may experience when using the multicooker.
THE DISH IS UNDERCOOKED
Possible causes
The lid of the device was open or was not closed properly, so
the cooking temperature was not high enough
Cooking temperature was not observed because the bowl and
the heating element did not fit tightly
Wrong ingredients or settings were chosen
General proportions were not observed, the foods were cut
into pieces that are a bit too big
Wrong time settings
Chosen recipe is not appropriate for the appliance
Steaming: the amount of water in the bowl is not enough to
provide enough steam density
Too much vegetable oil was added
Frying
Too much liquid inside the bowl
Boilng: the broth boiled away while cooking acidic foods
While proving the dough has reached the
inner lid and covered the steam valve
Baking (dough
failed to bake
through)
Too much dough in the bowl
THE DISH IS OVERCOOKED
Wrong ingredients or time settings, the foods were cut into
pieces that are a bit too small
Solutions
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 housing 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 that you use recipes adapted for the device.
Choose proven recipes only
Set the time and cooking programme, choose ingredients,
proportions, and the size of pieces according to the recipe
Use the amount of water recommended. If in doubt, check the
water level while steaming
For regular frying add an amount of vegetable oil just enough
to cover the bottom of the bowl
Follow recommendations given in the recipe while deep frying
Do not close the lid of the device while frying unless specified
in the recipe. Defrost and let drain the ingredients before frying
Certain foods need to be washed or sautéed before cooking.
Follow recommendations given in the recipe
Use a smaller amount of dough
Take the product out of the bowl, turn it over and place back.
Bake until ready
Next time use smaller amount of dough
We recommend that you use the recipes adapted for your
