FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Question:
Why my food not cooked?
Answer:
The cooking temperature is not high enough. Do not unnecessarily open the
lid during use, as this will release heat.
Check that the lid of the appliance is closed properly, and the seal around the
edge is not damaged.
You may have selected the wrong programme for your recipe. Check the
table of cooking programmes and to make sure your recipe time and
temperature match the programme. Multicook is the programme with
the largest range of temperature and times, and can be used if other
programmes do not allow you to set the time and temperature you require.
The ingredients may be too large, chop them smaller. There may be too
much food in the Multicooker - check the recipe quantities and make sure
the cooking pot is not filled over the 10 cup maximum mark on the inside.
Question: Why hasn’t my food steamed properly?
Answer: There may not be enough water in the cooking pot to steam the ingredients.
Add more water before steaming.
Do not open the lid during steaming as this will release steam and lower the
temperature.
Question: Why isn’t my food sautéed properly?
Answer:
There may be too much oil in the cooking pot. Usually, a thin coat of oil in
the bottom of the pot is enough.
Do not close the lid when sautéing, keep it open and stir food throughout.
Make sure frozen food is fully defrosted before sautéing, as excess water may
affect cooking.
Question: Why is my food overcooked?
Answer: After cooking, your food may have been left too long in ‘Keep Warm’ mode.
Switch off the keep warm function.
Question:
Why hasn’t my cake risen?
Answer: The eggs and sugar were not beaten enough or the flour was not sifted
before adding to the other ingredients.
