9. Press the START button to start the selected function. The operation indicator will
illuminate continuously. The count-down of the cooking time will not start until the water
in the inner pot comes to the boil. At this moment, a beep sounds several times. When
the water is boiled down or the cooking time expires, the appliance toggles to
warm-keeping mode automatically.
The display shows the already elapsed time of warm-keeping.
Nevertheless, when the cooking time expires, an acoustic signal will sound.
10. After use, press the KEEP WARM/OFF button to switch OFF the appliance. Then unplug
the appliance.
WARNING: When opening the upper cover shortly after operation, condensate and a
large amount of steam could come out from under the brim of the upper cover. Thus, keep a
sufficient distance to the appliance when pressing the opening button to avoid scalding. The
oven compartment is very hot shortly after operation. Protect your hands with pot holders or
oven gloves, when taking out the hot inner pot and/or steamer. Only place the hot pot on a
heat-resistant surface.
Do not use any hard or edged objects (e.g. metal spoons) with the appliance to avoid dama-
ge to the surfaces. Only use cooking utensils made from wood or heat-resistant plastic.
11. Press the opening button to open the upper cover and take out the food. For this, it is
best to use the supplied rice spoon. If you prepared food in the pot and steamer at the
same time, take out the pot carefully, using pot holders or oven gloves, and place
the pot on a heat-resistant surface. Then take the steamer out of the pot.
12. Clean the appliance after each use. See: Care and Cleaning.
Baking and Reheating
The “Bake” function is suited for reheating of already cooked foods (e.g. rice, pasta, vegeta-
bles) and for baking thick pancakes, gratins, and small cakes.
Reheating of Solid Food
For heating up solid food, it is best to use the “Bake” function according to the following
instructions.
Note: Soups and sauces can be reheated via the “Soup” or “Steam cook” function. How-
ever, you should cancel the process as soon as the count-down starts, indicating that the
contents of the pot is boiling. It will take approx. 20 minutes to bring ca. 1 litre of soup to
the boil.
1. It is good advice to loosen rice or pasta before reheating. Then put the cold food into the pot.
2. Ensure that there are no foreign objects in the oven compartment of the cooker and the
interior of the oven compartment is clean. Then insert the pot.
WARNING: It is essential to ensure that the upper brim of the pot is clean. Otherwise the
lid will not seal sufficiently and water could run into the oven compartment.
3. Ensure that the lid of the pot is inserted properly in the upper cover of the Multi - Cook,
(See: Re-assembling the Appliance) and then close the upper cover. A click sounds if the
upper cover is closed correctly.
