To Solve the Problem
Try to avoid opening the lid while cooking.
Close the lid until it clicks into place. Make sure that the rubber sealing ring located on the
inner side of the lid is not deformed or damaged in any way.
There should not be any foreign objects between the lid and the housing of the device, remove
if any.
Always make sure that the heating element is clean and fits tightly together with the bowl
before cooking.
We recommend using recipes adapted for the appliance. Chose proven recipes only.
Set the time and cooking program, choose ingredients, proportions, and the size of ingredients
according to the recipe.
Use the amount of water recommended. If in doubt, check water level during steaming.
Add an amount of oil enough just to cover the bottom of the bowl.
Follow recipe recommendations while sauteing.
SAUTÉ with the open lid unless specified in the recipe.
Defrost and drain frozen ingredients before sauteing.
Certain products need to be processed before cooking: washed, browned, etc. Follow the reci-
pe recommendations.
Use smaller amount of dough.
Take the dough out, turn over, place back, and continue cooking. Next time use smaller amount
of dough.
