V. HELPFUL TIPS
Common Cooking Mistakes (in MULTICOOKER mode) and Ways of Solving Them
This chapter familiarizes you with the practical tips and solutions to some common problems you may experience when using the appliance in
multicooker mode.
THE DISH IS UNDERCOOKED
Possible Causes
To Solve the Problem
The temperature was not reached because the lid of the appliance
was either open or was not closed properly.
• Try to avoid opening the lid while cooking.
• Close the lid until it clicks into place. Ensure that there are no foreign objects between the
lid and the housing and that the rubber sealing ring is not deformed or damaged in any way.
The temperature was not reached because the bowl did not make full
contact with the heating element.
• Properly position the bowl inside the appliance, ensuring that it makes full contact with the
heating element.
• Always make sure there are no foreign objects inside the chamber and that the heating ele-
ment is clean and fits tightly together with the bowl before cooking.
• Wrong ingredients or settings were chosen.
• General proportions were not observed, the size of the ingredients
was too large.
• Wrong time settings.
• The chosen recipe is not appropriate for the device.
• We recommend using recipes adapted for the appliance. Chose proven recipes only.
• Set the time and cooking program, choose ingredients, proportions, and the size according to
the recipe.
Steaming: the amount of water in the bowl is too small to create
enough steam.
Use the amount of water recommended. If in doubt, check water level during steaming.
Sauteing:
Too much cooking oil was added.
• Add an amount of oil enough just to cover the bottom of the bowl.
• Follow the recipe recommendations while sauteing
Too much moisture inside the bowl.
• Saute with the open lid unless otherwise stated in the recipe.
• Defrost and drain frozen ingredients before sauteing.
Boiling: the water boiled away during preparation of foods with high
acidity.
Certain products need to be processed before cooking: washed, browned, etc. Follow the recipe
recommendations.
Baking (dough did not
bake through):
Proofed dough has reached the lid and
blocked the steam release valve.
Use smaller amount of dough.
Too much dough in the bowl.
Take the baked product out of the appliance, turn it over and place back. Bake until ready. Next
time use smaller amount of dough.
