Speed
• To adjust the speed at which your Optimum ThermoCook operates, press this button during either stand-by mode or the operating
process (Note: in some auto programmes, the speed is fixed and cannot be adjusted).
• When you push this button, the speed icon will flash on the LCD screen, indicating that you can adjust the speed. Turn the knob to select your
desired speed, ranging from Level 1-10.
• You can adjust the speed between Levels 1-10 during both the blending and heating processes. However, if the temperature is set to –
or reaches – over 60°C, you can only adjust the speed up to Level 4. If your Optimum ThermoCook was working at a higher speed, it will
drop to Level 4 automatically when it reaches this temperature.
• Do not increase the speed higher than Level 4 when using the mixing tool.
• Your Optimum ThermoCook has two gears, so it is normal to hear a brief noise before the motor starts working. You will also hear this
noise when you change the speed between Levels 5 and 6.
• Crushing or chopping hard food, or large volumes of food at high speeds can cause vibration. To avoid this, select Level 5 speed first,
then gradually increase to Level 10.

Temperature
• To adjust the temperature, press this button either during stand-by mode, or during the heating process (Note: in some auto programmes
the temperature is fixed, and cannot be adjusted).
• The temperature icon will flash on the LCD screen, indicating that you can adjust the temperature. Turn the knob to select your desired
temperature, ranging from 37-120°C.
Heat Power
• When you adjust the temperature, the heat power setting will automatically change to the default heating power for that temperature level.
• To change the heat power, press this button either during stand-by mode, or during the heating process (Note: in some auto
programmes, the temperature is fixed and cannot be adjusted).
• The heat power icon will flash on the LCD screen, indicating that you can now adjust the heat power. Turn the knob to select your desired
heat power, ranging from Level 1-10.
• Low power will allow you to have more precise control over the temperature; while High power will heat food quicker.
• However, some sticky foods may end up burning the base of the bowl at high temperatures. To reduce this risk, select a low heat power
for these foods. Additionally, if you only have a small volume of food that requires a precise temperature, select Low heat power.
• Your Optimum ThermoCook will not operate if you have selected a heat power setting, but not a temperature setting. We recommend
following the default heat power setting when you select different temperature levels.
