COOKING METHODS STEP-BY-STEP COOKING MODES
For cooking and food preparation tips, see “See Tips for Great Results” on how to get the
most of each cooking method�
Slow Cook (90° C)
Slow Cook allows the Multi-Cooker to be
used like a slow cooker, making it ideal for
slow cooking BBQ, chili, and meatballs, to
name just a few�
Keep Warm (75° C)
Keep Warm mode is designed to keep
foods at serving temperature after cooking
has finished for up to 24 hours� Certain
cooking methods and modes feature an
automatic Keep Warm mode� For other
cooking methods and modes, Keep Warm
can be selected manually�
IMPORTANT: Use Keep Warm only with
fully cooked food� Keep Warm is intended
to keep fully cooked food at serving
temperature�
Sear (220–230° C)
Searing allows you to prepare meats for
stews, soups, and other dishes� It uses high
temperatures to cook the outside surfaces
quickly, trapping flavour and juices inside�
Sauté (160–190° C)
Sautéing is ideal for giving meats and
vegetables a fresh, crisp flavour and texture�
Use sauté for creating oriental dishes, stir-
fries, and breakfast foods such as sausage
and scrambled eggs�
Bake (165–190° C)
Select bake to make cakes, casseroles,
and other dishes�
Boil/Steam (90–110° C)
Use Boil/Steam to prepare a variety of
foods such as hot cereals, steam shrimp,
or to heat delicate foods such as fish with
indirect heat�
Simmer (85–100° C)
Simmer is great for soups and stews where
a gentle cooking helps yield rich, hearty
flavours�

OPERATING THE MULTI-COOKER TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
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 over-crowd the
cooking pot when browning meat for a
recipe� Brown approx� 0�25 kg 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 the preheating the multi-cooker�
• To easily drain grease after searing or
sautéing food, place the lid on the cooking
pot in the drain position and hold it
securely with hot pads while pouring
grease into a heat safe container�
• When sautéing vegetables such as carrots,
celery, onions, and garlic, add larger cut
ingredients rst and cook for several
minutes before adding smaller cut foods
such as minced garlic� This ensures all of
the vegetables are evenly cooked and the
garlic does not burn�
Steaming:
• It is not necessary to allow the unit to
preheat when steaming foods, simply add
water, place food on the steaming rack and
set the multi-cooker to STEAM� At the
end of the preheat time, press the START
button�
• Foods will steam faster if cooked in a single
layer� Larger amounts of food may need
to be repositioned midway through the
cooking time for even results�
• Foods that have been cut or trimmed into
pieces approximately the same size will
cook more evenly�
• Make sure the lid covers the cooking pot
spout to trap steam for optimal cooking
performance�
• Removing the lid slowly during steaming�
Rice:
• It is important to measure rice and water
accurately before cooking for best results�
• Some varieties of rice are washed/rinsed
prior to cooking� U�S� varieties generally
are not, as they have been enriched with
vitamins and minerals� Rinsing these types
of rice removes the added nutrients�
If washing rice before cooking, be sure
to measure it before washing, not after,
and try to drain as much water away as
possible before adding the amount needed
for cooking�
• After adding rice and water to the
multi-cooker pot, spread the rice into
an even layer on the bottom for the best
cooking results� Do not remove the lid
during cooking�
• Most types of rice will be slightly
undercooked at the end of the Rice
cooking cycle� Allowing the cooked rice to
rest in the cooking pot with the lid on for
5 to 10 minutes will allow the last bit of
moisture to be absorbed�
• Oil, butter and salt and other seasonings
can all be added if desired� Stir in prior
to starting the Rice cooking cycle� Liquids
other than water can also be used to
add avour. Try substituting sh, poultry,
vegetable or meat stocks or broths�
• Chopped fresh herbs can be stirring into
cooked rice at the end of the cooking cycle
before allowing the rice to rest�
• Make sure the lid covers the cooking
pot spout to trap steam for optimal rice
cooking performance�
Soup:
• Follow the cooking tips for Sauté/Sear
when using this part of the Soup cooking
cycle�
• The bits of cooked on foods on the bottom
of the cooking pot after browning contain
lots of avour. Add some of the liquid
from your recipe and scrape them up with
a wooden spoon to add depth and more
intense avour to your soup.
• Cutting foods into pieces approximately
the same size will ensure the most even
cooking results�

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS CARE AND CLEANING
• 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�
Risotto:
• In general, the rice for risotto should
be sautéed in some type of fat prior to
adding any of the liquids in the recipe�
Allow the multi-cooker to preheat in the
Sauté stage, and then add butter or oil as
outlined in your recipe� Add the amount
of rice specied in the recipe and stir it
occasionally for several minutes or until the
outer edges of the rice grains are semi-
transparent but the interior is still white�
Other ingredients that need to be sautéed
such as onions, garlic or other vegetables
can also be added and cooked during this
step�
• If your recipe calls for wine, add it before
adding the other liquids� This allows the
avour of the wine to be absorbed into
the rice�
• Heat the liquids for your risotto recipe on
the stove or in the microwave until very
hot, generally just below the boiling point�
• Add hot liquids to the rice in 1-cup
(190 g) increments and stir constantly until
almost all of the liquid has been absorbed
before adding more�
• It is best to add cheese, herbs or other
delicate ingredients during the last few
minutes of cooking�
• To prevent overcooking and keep the
texture of the risotto creamy, remove the
cooking pot from the multi-cooker base
after your recipe is nished if not serving
immediately�
Slow-Cooking:
• As a general rule for using your favourite
recipes in the Multi-Cooker, increase the
amounts of herbs and seasonings to offset
the effect of longer cooking times�
• Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in the
Multi-Cooker� Always thaw meats prior to
slow cooking� The size you cut food into
can affect its taste and texture� To assure
uniformity of cooking, cut vegetables of
similar density, such as potatoes, carrots,
and parsnips into similar-sized pieces� In
general, dense vegetables should be slightly
smaller than more tender vegetables�
• Cutting meats into large pieces allows
longer cooking times and avoids
overcooking�
• Some foods are not suited for extended
cooking� Pasta, seafood, milk, cream or
sour cream should be added 2 hours
before serving�
• Add garnishes, fresh herbs, and quick-
cooking vegetables toward the end of the
cooking cycle� For example, you can add
peas, corn and freshly sliced squash in the
last 10 to 20 minutes�
Yogurt:
• Yogurt can be made from whole, reduced
fat or fat free milk� Whole or 2% milk will
result in yogurt with a thicker texture�
• For best result, refrigerate yogurt before
straining whey through cheese cloth for a
thicker texture�
• Once you start making your own yogurt,
you can use some of the previous batch to
make the next one� Only do this 2-3 times
before starting with fresh�
Manual:
• When heating a large amount of water
for cooking pasta or other foods,
use MANUAL mode at the highest
temperature setting 230° C (450° F)� Note
that the display will likely continue to
scroll “preheating” even after the water
has reached a full rolling boil, as the unit is
sensing the water temperature�

TROUBLESHOOTING
Cleaning your Multi-Cooker
Unplug your Multi-Cooker from the wall
socket 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�
However, dropping or hard impacts
can chip or crack the ceramic coating�
• The pot of the Multi-Cooker has a nonstick
coating for easy cleaning� Repeated
washing in the dishwasher can reduce the
effectiveness of the nonstick coating�
NOTE: The lid and pot are dishwasher
durable, but handwashing in hot, soapy
water is recommended to maximize the
life of the nonstick coating�

Tips and tricks
• For most food preparation, use the flip-
and-stir wand only for best performance�
When preparing larger quantities (near the
MAX FILL line), or for foods like soups and
stews, add the side scraper to help mix and
circulate foods�
• For stirring risotto (Arborio) rice, it is
recommended to stir at least 380–760 g
(2–4 cups) of rice to get the best ipping
and stirring performance
• Flip-and-stir wand is designed to stir/
ip/incorporate 700 ml-1000 ml
of ingredients at a time�
• Use of the Stir Tower is not recommended
when preparing smaller quantities of lighter
or delicate ingredients such as mushrooms�
• The flip-and-stir wand is ideal for
preparing foods ingredients such
as onions, carrots, broccoli, potato
(cubed), meatballs (40-60 g/ 2-3 oz�
each), small to medium shrimp, and
sliced or cubed meats and poultry�
NOTE: The Stir Tower arm can become
hot to the touch when cooking�
