BEFORE FIRST USE
•
Remove all packaging material from the product.
•
As some parts may be packed separately, check to ensure all items have been unpacked
before disposing of the packaging.
•
Remove all accessories and components.
•
Wash all removable parts as instructed in “CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE” section of this
manual.
•
Select a level, dry countertop where the appliance is to be used, allowing air space on all
sides to provide sufficient ventilation and a safe distance from hot surfaces of the multi
cooker.
•
To prevent damage from steam and heat, ensure the multi cooker is not placed directly under
cupboards when in use.
•
Do not place cooking pot into an oven or directly on a stove top. The cooking pot must only
be used with this multi cooker.
•
Ensure the multi cooker is always disconnected from the wall power outlet when not in use.
HOW PRESSURE COOKING WORKS
Your Russell Hobbs multi cooker has pressure cooking functionality and has been specifically
designed to safely control the steam pressure and temperature during cooking.
When liquid inside this multi cooker is boiled, steam builds up and creates pressure. This
pressure allows the temperature to rise above the normal 100°C boiling point and creates a
‘superheated vapour’ that has a cooking potential several times greater than standard cooking
methods.
There are 11 preset automatic cooking functions to aid in making the cooking process as easy as
possible. These functions include:
•
8 pressurised settings: Soup/Curry, Bake, Pot Roast, White Rice, Brown Rice, Risotto and
Steam.
•
3 non-pressurised settings: Slow Cook, Yoghurt and Sauté.
Note:
Although the SLOW COOK and YOGHURT functions do not work with pressure, it is intended
to be used with the lid in place.
