Recommendations & Tips

Proper Cooking Utensils: To prevent scratching the coating, we recommend using nonmetal utensils with your cookware. Do not cut food on the cookware using sharp utensils, such as forks, knives, mashers, or whisks, that can scratch the cooking surface.

Getting Started

NOTE: The Inner Pot must be inserted into the appliance Base to start a cooking cycle.

Select and prepare recipe for cooking.
Place the Inner Pot in the Base as shown (see Fig. i).
Place all ingredients in the Inner Pot.
Add Lid if necessary.

NOTE: The Air Frying Lid is used only for air fry, grill, bake, and roast cooking functions. Keep the air fryer lid in the upward position or remove it and add the Glass Lid when using the other cooking functions. The Air Frying Lid cannot be closed when using non-air fryer cooking functions.

Attaching the Air Frying Lid

Place the Air Frying Lid on top of the Base, aligning the six pins in the Air Frying Lid’s Wire Harness with the six holes in the Base’s Wire Harness.
The Air Fry preset will not function unless the Wire Harnesses are aligned properly.
Do not twist the Air Frying Lid to close. The Air Frying Lid does not lock.

NOTE: Do not tilt or angle the lid when placing or removing. Lift or lower the lid straight up or down to ensure that the wire harnesses in the lid and base connect properly. Never attempt to pick up the appliance with the Air Fry Lid or lid handle.

Sous Vide

What is Sous Vide?

In the sous vide method of cooking, food is sealed inside a plastic bag immersed in water and cooked at a lower temperature. Sous vide allows for greater control and evenly cooked results. The sous vide method holds food at the perfect level of doneness for much longer than regular cooking methods would allow.

The Sous Vide Cooking Cycle

With the Inner Pot in the appliance, fill the Inner Pot with water. Turn the Control Knob to Sous Vide.
Adjust the cooking time and temperature and then press the Start Button to confirm.
Cover with the Glass Lid.
The appliance will beep once the water reaches the desired temperature. Add the sealed bags to the water. The timer begins once the appliance has reached the desired temperature and will beep again once the timer has expired.

CAUTION: Remove hot cooking bags with plastic tongs to prevent piercing and burns from hot water. Use oven mitts.
Tip: When using the Sous Vide function the timer will not begin counting down until the desired temperature is reached. Reaching the desired temperature may take 30 minutes or more.

What are the Basic Steps?

The food must be in a sealed plastic bag or vacuum-sealed bag. Remove all air from sealed bags to prevent the bags from floating.
Submerge pouches into the water bath after the liquid has reached your desired temperature.
Cook for at least the minimum amount of time called for in your recipe.
Remove each pouch carefully from the water bath.
NOTE: Meat, poultry, or fish can be seared in a hot pan to create a crisp surface immediately before serving.

Tips

Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger foods.
Large quantities of food only require a longer cooking time than smaller quantities.
Shaking smaller-sized foods halfway through the cooking process ensures that all the pieces are fried evenly.
Adding a bit of vegetable oil to fresh potatoes is suggested for a crispier result. When adding oil, do so just before cooking and add only a small amount onto the potato.
Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the appliance.
Use premade dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Premade dough also requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
You can use the appliance to reheat foods. Simply set the temperature and time to however warm you want your food.

Shaking/Flipping (for Air Frying)
To ensure even cooking, some foods require shaking/flipping during the cooking process. Gently shake/flip the contents as needed and place them back in the appliance to continue cooking.

CAUTION: The appliance and Inner Pot will be hot. Wear an oven mitt during this procedure:

Open the Lid.
Flip the food in the Inner Pot.
Close the Lid on the appliance and continue cooking.

Slow Cooking Tip
When slow cooking, the timer will not begin counting down until the desired temperature is reached. Reaching the desired temperature may take 30 minutes or more.

Cleaning & Storage

Easy Maintenance

Be sure to let the appliance cool down and unplug it from the wall socket before cleaning.
When cleaning the Inner Pot, allow the Inner Pot to cool completely before washing. Never immerse hot cookware in water as this will cause irreparable warping.
Cleaning your Inner Pot is quick and easy. After each use, wash it in hot water with mild soap or dish detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry immediately with a soft dish towel. If any food particles remain, fill the cookware with hot water and liquid dish detergent, soak until the water becomes lukewarm, and use a sponge or soft cloth to remove any remaining food particles.
Do not use steel wool or metal pads. They could leave coarse scratches.
To keep the appliance clean, wipe away the enclosure with damp cloth and then dry it with a clean, dry cloth. Never immerse the main body of the appliance in water for cleaning!
To protect against electric shock, DO NOT immerse the main parts of the appliance, cord, or plug in water or other liquids.
Make sure that the device is properly cleaned before storing it in a dry place.

Removing Stubborn Residue
When food is burned on the cookware, a stubborn black residue may remain. If regular cleaning does not loosen it, soak in hot water and 1 tbsp. of non-lemon detergent for 15 mins. Allow the water to become lukewarm before you drain and rinse. Wipe with a plastic spatula or nonabrasive sponge to loosen residue. Repeat if necessary.

Dishwasher Safe
Only the Inner Pot and Glass Lid are dishwasher safe. Although these components are dishwasher safe, we recommend cleaning by hand. Hand-washing preserves the life of the cookware and helps to maintain its appearance. If cleaning in the dishwasher, follow the suggested guidelines:

Load the dishwasher carefully. Other dishes and flatware may mark the surface of your cookware.
Be sure to remove soil from other dishes and flatware. It can be abrasive to nonstick coating.
We recommend using a non-lemon detergent.
Regular dishwasher cleaning will eventually scratch any surface.
To protect yourself from electric shock, NEVER immerse the device, or the Power Cord in water or other liquids.
DO NOT use any petroleum products, which will damage the outer appliance housing and the Control Panel.
DO NOT use/store any flammable, acid, or alkaline materials or substances near the device, as this may reduce the service life of the device and lead to deflagration (fire) when the device is turned on.
DO NOT stack heavy objects on top of the appliance. Excessive weight could possibly damage the appliance.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Solution
The appliance does not work	The appliance is not plugged in.	Plug the power cable into a wall socket.
