Important Safeguards for Electrical Appliances

The appliance is heated electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power socket to
connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with protective conductor
(earth / ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply
corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (220 - 240 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for
at least 8 A).

The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum rated
residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly recommen­ded. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information. In various foreign countries,
the specifications for power supplies are subject to incompatible norms. Therefore it is possible
that power supplies in foreign countries do not meet the requirements for safe operation of

50

the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad, ensure that safe operation is
possible.

• Donottouseanyextensioncordsormultisocketoutlets.

• Alwayshandlethepowercordwithcare.Alwayscompletelyunwindthepowercordbefore

use. Do not place the appliance on a power cord. Power cords may never be knotted, twisted,
pulled, strained or squeezed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of the
table or counter. The power cord may not touch hot surfaces. Ensure that no one will pull the
appliance by the power cord. Take care not to entangle in the power cord. Always grasp the
plug to disconnect the power cord. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands when the
appliance is connected to the power supply.

• Donotplaceorimmersetheapplianceorthepowercordinwateroranyotherliquid.Do

not spill or drip any liquids on the power cord or exterior of the appliance. When liquids are
spilled on the appliance or power cord, immediately switch off and unplug the appliance.

High Temperatures – Risk of Burns

The multicook is designed for cooking and heating a variety of foods and, therefo­re, the interior of the appliance will get very hot during operation.

• Because inner pot, lid and interior of the appliance are very hot during operation

and shortly thereafter, do not touch these parts with your hands, arms or any other
parts or your body or any heat- or moisture-sensitive objects. Do not place the pot on any heat­sensitive surfaces, shortly after operation. If required, protect your hands and arms with pot
holders or oven gloves.

• Evenwiththelidproperlyclosed,steamwillescapefromthesteamventduringoperation

and shortly thereafter. During operation and immediately thereafter do not hold
your hands, arms or face over the appliance to avoid scalds caused by steam
escaping from the steam vent in the lid. In the steam vent and at the interior of the lid

condensate could accumulate and drip and, additionally, large amounts of steam could es­cape from under the lid, when opening the lid. When opening the appliance, keep a sufficient
distance to avoid scalds.

Non-stick Coating

The inner pot of your multicook is provided with a non-stick coating. Do not use hard or sharp
objects for scratching, mixing or cutting on the coatings. Do not use the inner pot as a mixing
bowl. Always remove your foods from the pot, before mixing or cutting. We will not be liable
for damage to the non-stick coating, if metal utensils or similar objects have been used.

Please adhere to the following precautions:

• Donotusetheinnerpotwiththenon-stickcoatingbeingscratched,crackedordetached

due to overheating.

• Onlyusewoodenorheat-resistantplasticcookingutensilstostirandservethefood.Donot

use any spray-on non-stick coatings.

• Thenon-sticksurfaceminimisestheeffortofcleaning.Donotuseabrasivescourersorab­rasive cleaners for cleaning. Even stubborn residues can be removed via a soft sponge or soft
nylon brush and warm dishwater.

Further possible applications

Letting dough to rise

Letting the dough to rise, or proofing, is the most important phase of the preparation of the
dough just before baking. Proofing should occur in an area that is free of drafts and is of a
constant temperature. The dough will rise to about double in size, but this may differ according
to the recipe.

1. Prepare the dough according to the recipe. Place the dough evenly in the inner pot and
insert the inner pot into the housing. Please make sure that all ingredients, including liquids,
are below the ½ mark (2 l) on the inner surface of the inner pot. Make sure that the inner pot
is firmly in contact with the heating element.

2. Close the lid until it clicks into place. Connect the appliance to the power outlet.

3. Press the ›Menu‹-button or the › + ‹ and › – ‹-buttons to select the program ›Multicook‹. Once

›Multicook‹ flashes on the LED-display the program is selected. (The pre-set cooking time is 30
minutes, the pre-set cooking temperature is 100 °C.) The LED-display shows the default values
for the temperature and cooking time.

4. Use the ›Timer / t °C‹-button to reach the time selection mode. The minute indicator flashes.
Use the › + ‹ and › – ‹-buttons to adjust the time. With the ›Hour / Min‹-button you can switch
between hours and minutes. The LED-display shows the pre-set cooking time 30 min. You can
adjust the cooking time from 2 minutes to 15 hours.

5. Press again the ›Timer / t °C‹-button to adjust the temperature. The temperature indicator
flashes. The LED-display shows the preset temperature 100 °C. Use the › + ‹ and › – ‹-buttons to
select the desired temperature.

6. In this case, it is not recommended to use the Auto-Start-Function, as this may have a nega­tive effect on the fermentation process.

7. Press and hold for a few seconds the ›Start / Keep Warm on / off‹-button to start the appli­ance. The ›Start / Keep Warm on / off‹-button lights up and the countdown of the cooking time
is shown in the time indicator.

8. The Keep-Warm-Function turns on automatically, immediately after the program is over.
Switch off the Keep-Warm-Function by pressing and holding the ›Start / Keep Warm on / off‹­button, since this may also have a negative effect on the fermentation process.

9. After completion of the program an acoustic signal will sound. The appliance will return to
standby mode.

70

10. To cancel the selected program, to interrupt the cooking process press and hold the ›Can­cel / Keep Warm‹-button for a few seconds.

Please note that during the process the dough increases in volume or even doubles in volume.
To keep the dough from overflowing, the volume of the original ingredients should be located
under the ½ mark (2 l) on the inner surface of the inner pot.

During the proofing process of the dough it is nessesary to maintain a constant temperature
and humidity. For best results, do not open the appliance before the end of the program.

TIPS AND FURTHER INFORMATION

Steaming

Steamed foods retain most of their nutritional value when cooked in the multicook. Foods may
be steamed by placing food in the steam insert over stock or water. Keep lid closed while
steaming food unless the recipe or chart specifically states to open the lid. By opening the lid
unnecessarily steam is lost and the cooking time will be extended.

Recommended preparation time for steaming

Note that the following table contains general recommendations. The actual time may very
depending on the quality of the product and your taste preferences.
