COOKING TIPS Refer to the following tips for getting the most out of the different cooking modes. Searing and sautéing: • For best browning results, pat exterior surfaces of meat dry with paper towels before sautéing or searing. • It’s important not to overcrowd the cooking pot when browning meat for a recipe. Brown 0.5 lbs (227 g) or less at a time for the best results and to avoid steaming the meat. • If using oil or butter for sautéing, add it after preheating the Multi-Cooker.
TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS • It is not necessary to thaw frozen vegetables prior to adding to a soup for cooking, but the cooking time may need to be lengthened. Frozen meats should be thawed before cooking with the Soup cycle to be sure they are properly cooked through. • It’s best to add dairy ingredients such as cream, milk, or cheeses near the end of cooking to prevent separation.
CLEANING THE MULTI-COOKER AND ACCESSORIES Unplug your Multi-Cooker from the outlet before cleaning. • Allow Multi-Cooker and accessories to cool completely before cleaning. • Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads. They could scratch the surface. • Wipe the outside of the Multi-Cooker with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. A nonabrasive liquid cleaner may be used for stubborn stains. • The ceramic nonstick coating of the multi-cooker pot is scratch-resistant.
TROUBLESHOOTING If your Multi-Cooker malfunctions or fails to operate: 1. I s the Multi-Cooker plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet? • Plug the Multi-Cooker into a grounded 3 prong outlet. 2.
