FEATURES COMMON TO ALL COOKING MODES

Changing the time or temperature during cooking
Once cooking has started you can change the time or temperature as follows:

1. To adjust the time, use the i and j buttons. The display will flash while you are changing it.
2. To change the temperature, press the I button while the unit is cooking. The currently selected temperature will start to flash. Use the i and j buttons to make any desired changes.
   Opening the lid during cooking
   The lid can be opened during cooking to add or to stir ingredients. Cooking and the timer will be paused when the lid is opened and continue once the lid is closed again.
   Auto Sleep Mode
   If no buttons are pressed within 5 minutes, your multi cooker will go into sleep mode to save power. To wake it, press any button.
   Light Ring Display
   The 8 leds which surround the temperature and time display do various things during use but are mainly used to show the following:
   • During cooking, they all light up and go out one by one as cooking progresses.
   • If cooking is canceled for any reason, they will all flash briefly before going out.
   • During the preheating cycle (Grill and Bake modes), the will flash until the set temperature is reached.
   Hints and Tips
   • Once the cooking cycle has finished you can remove the food and transfer to a serving plate. You can also fully remove
   the cooking pot. Take great care and use appropriate protection such as oven gloves.
   • To speed up the cooling down process, leave the lid open after removing your food.
   • If you are batch cooking, empty the oil from the removable cooking pot after every 2 batches. This will help prevent grease from burning and causing smoke.

SLOW COOKING

THE BENEFITS OF SLOW COOKING

• Health: The gentle cooking action reduces damage to vitamins and retains more of the nutrients and flavors.
• Economy: Long, slow cooking can tenderize the cheaper, tougher cuts of meat, and uses about a quarter of the power of the small ring on the average hob.
• Convenience: Prepare the ingredients the night before, put them in the slow cooker before you leave, and have a delicious meal waiting for you when you get home.

USING THE SLOW COOKING MODE
• Note: The temperature cannot be set or adjusted in the slow cooking function.
• Place the ingredients into the cooking pot and close the lid.

1. Plug in the appliance. Your multi-cooker will beep and display will go through its start-up sequence. After a few moments, the display will go out with just the Air Fry ( ) light flashing.
2. Use the i and j buttons to select either Slow Cook High ( ) or Slow Cook Low (l).
3. With the desired slow cook mode light flashing, press the I button. The display will show the default cooking time.
4. Change the cooking time as required using the i and j buttons. Each press will increase or decrease the time by 1 minute. Press and hold the button to rapidly increase or decrease the time.
5. Press the I button to confirm the selected time.
6. To begin cooking, press the I button. Cooking will start and the display will start to count down.
7. When the timer reaches 00:00, your multi cooker will beep twice and the heater will be turned off. The display will show
   “End”. The fan will continue to run for a short time.
   • To cancel cooking at any time, press the O button.

GENERAL TIPS

• Keep in mind that ingredients used straight from the fridge can increase the cooking time.
• Try not to open the lid unnecessarily during cooking. A lot of heat can escape when you do this and it can take your multi cooker a long time to recover.
• When testing a dish to see if it’s cooked, don’t forget that root vegetables usually take longer to cook.
• Thaw frozen food completely before adding it to the cooking pot.
• Pre-browning meat beforehand is not strictly necessary but can help seal in the moisture and add depth to the flavor. Use your multi cooker’s sear function to brown meat.
• Store ingredients prepared beforehand (e.g. the night before) in containers in the fridge. Don’t put the multicooker or the cooking pot into the fridge.
•  When cooking with rice, use at least 150ml (¼ pt) of cooking liquid for each 100g (4 oz) of rice.
• Pasta isn’t suitable for slow cooking, it becomes too soft. If your recipe requires pasta, it should be pre-cooked and then stirred in 30-40 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
• After all the ingredients are put into the cooking pot, it shouldn’t be more than about three-quarters full. If you overfill, it may spit hot liquid or overflow during use.
• If the finished dish is too liquid, it can be thickened using a little cornflour, arrowroot, etc. For each 250-300 ml of liquid, mix together 2 tbsp of cornflour with enough water to form a thin paste. Add the paste to the dish approx. 30-45 minutes before the end of cooking. Alternatively, stir in ready-made gravy granules following the manufacturer’s instructions.

COOKING GUIDELINES
Vegetables
Slow cooking is ideal for vegetables. There’s little evaporation, so all the juices and flavours are retained.
Root vegetables like potato, carrot, turnip, and swede, need more slow cooking than meat. Cut them into bite-size pieces and immerse in the cooking liquid. Place the vegetables as close to the bottom of the pot as possible.
Quickly cooked vegetables, like peas and sweet corn, should be added half an hour before the end of cooking.
Pulses (Beans, Peas and Lentils)
Some dried pulses (lentils, peas, etc.) may need soaking before use. Always check any recommendations on the packaging before using.

WARNING dried beans (e.g. red kidney beans, cannellini, etc.) should be soaked for a minimum of 8 hours and boiled for at least 10 minutes before adding to the slow cooker. They’re poisonous if eaten raw or undercooked. Meat and Poultry

• Slow cooking tenderizes cheaper cuts, and reduces shrinkage and evaporation, retaining flavor and nutritional value.
  The leanest cuts of meat are best for slow cooking.

• Trim excess fat from the meat because this can add to the liquid during cooking in the form of fat.

• Where possible, use chicken without skin.

• Cut the meat into evenly sized cubes (approx. 2.5 cm) for casseroles and stews.

Suitable cuts include:
Beef – Brisket, shin, silverside, topside, stewing steak, braising steak, chuck
Pork – Leg, shoulder, belly, cheek, chump
Lamb – Shanks, leg, shoulder, neck

CONVERTING RECIPES FROM A TRADITIONAL OVEN
These times are approximate and can vary depending on the ingredients and quantities. Always check that the food is thoroughly cooked before serving.

KEEP WARM

• IMPORTANT: Do not use the Keep Warm setting to cook. Only use it to keep warm cooked food that is already hot.

1. Start with already cooked and hot ingredients in the cooking pot.

2. Plug in the appliance. Your multi-cooker will beep and display will go through its start-up sequence. After a few moments,
   the display will go out with just the Air Fry ( ) light flashing.

3. Use buttons to select either Keep Warm ( ).
   • The display will start counting down from 4 hours (04:00) to zero (00:00).
   • After the keep warm setting has been on for 4 hours, the unit will stop heating.
   • Note: Do not keep foods on the keep warm setting for more than 4 hours.
