Cooking Tips - Redmond RMC-280E Manual Del Usuario

• Before you start cleaning the appliance, make sure that it is unplugged and has cooled down. Use soft cloth
and mild soap to clean.
DO NOT use a sponge or tissue with hard or abrasive surface (unless otherwise specified in this user manual), or
abrasive pastes. Do not use any chemically aggressive substances or any other agents which are not recommended for
cleaning items that come into contact with food.
DO NOT immerse the appliance in water or wash it under running water! Be careful when cleaning rubber and silicone
parts of the multicooker, because damaged or deformed parts may lead to malfunction of the unit.
Clean the housing as needed. Cooking bowl, inner aluminum lid, and removable steam valve need to be cleaned
after each use. Condensate, accumulating during cooking, needs to be removed after each use. Clean the interior of
the cooking chamber as needed.
To Clean the Housing
Use soft damp cloth or sponge to clean the housing. If needed, use a mild soap solution and wipe the surface dry to
remove soap residue and water spots.
To Clean the Bowl
Wash the bowl by hand, using soft sponge and mild soap, or in a dishwasher (following its manufacturer's recom-
mendations).
If required, fill the bowl with warm water, let soak for a while, and clean. For more effective soaking fill the bowl
with cold water (do not fill above the maximum fill mark), position inside the multicooker, close the lid, and let reheat
for 30–40 minutes. Wipe the outer surface of the bowl dry, before placing it back inside the multicooker.
When multicooker is used frequently, inner non-stick coating of the bowl may partially or completely change color,
which does not indicate a defect.
To Clean Inner Aluminum lid
1. Open the main lid.
2. Press plastic holder located on the inner side of the lid; gently pull the inner lid toward yourself to remove.
3. Wipe the surfaces of both lids with a damp soft cloth or sponge. Rinse inner lid under running water and wash
with mild soap, if required. Do not use dishwasher to clean.
4. Wipe the lids dry.
5. Insert aluminum lid into the lower slots on the main lid and align until they click.
To Clean Removable Steam Valve
It is recommended to clean the valve after each use. Gently pull the valve, holding it by the ledge. Disassemble the
steam valve, rinse thoroughly under running water, and let dry. Reassemble the steam valve and place back into
original position.
To Remove Condensation
Condensate accumulates in the special cavity on the housing around the bowl. Remove condensate using cloth or
tissue.
To Clean Cooking Chamber
Compliance with the user manual guidelines minimizes the risk of food particles or liquids accumulating inside the
cooking chamber. However, if the inside of the chamber gets dirty, clean it to prevent improper operation or malfunc-
tion of the unit.
Before cleaning cooking chamber ensure, that multicooker is unplugged and has cooled down!
Walls of the cooking chamber, surface of the heating disk, and the casing of central thermal sensor (located in the
middle of the heating disk) need to be cleaned with a damp (not wet!) sponge or cloth. Remove any traces of soap
or detergent if using any to prevent extraneous odors during cooking.
If there is a foreign object in the cavity around central thermal sensor, carefully remove it using tweezers, trying to
avoid pressing on the casing of the sensor.
Clean heating disk with a damp medium-hard sponge or synthetic brush, if required.
When multicooker is used frequently, heating disk may partially or completely change color, which does not indicate a
defect and does not affect proper operation of the unit.

V. COOKING TIPS
Common Cooking Mistakes 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 multicooker.
THE DISH IS UNDERCOOKED
Possible Causes
Cooking temperature was not observed because the lid of the appliance
was either open or was not closed properly.
Cooking temperature was not observed because the bowl did not make
full contact with the heating element.
Wrong choice of ingredients. The ingredients cannot be cooked using the
cooking method required; wrong cooking program selected.
General proportions were not observed, ingredients were cut into pieces
that were too large.
Wrong cooking time selected.
Chosen recipe is not applicable for the appliance.
When steaming: the amount of water in the bowl is too small to create
enough steam.
Too much cooking oil was added.
When frying:
Too much cooking liquid inside the bowl.
When boiling: broth boiled away during the process of cooking high-
acid foods.
Proofed dough has reached the lid and blocked the
When baking
steam release valve.
(dough did not
bake through):
Too much dough in the bowl.
THE DISH IS OVERCOOKED
Wrong ingredients or cooking time selected. Ingredients were cut
into pieces that were too small.
The dish remained in the unit with the "Keep Warm" on for too long
after it's been cooked.
LIQUID BOILS AWAY DURING COOKING
Milk boils away.
Ingredients were not properly processed (washed poorly, etc.)
Wrong general proportions or ingredients; wrong type of product
selected.
To Solve the Problem
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.
Properly position the bowl inside the appliance, ensuring that it makes
full contact with the heating element.
Ensure that there are no foreign objects inside the cooking chamber
and that the heating element is clean.
We recommend using recipes adapted for the appliance. Chose
proven recipes only.
Use ingredients, proportions, cooking programs, and time / tempera-
ture settings according to the recipe instructions.
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
when frying.
Follow recipe recommendations when deep frying.
Do not close the lid of the appliance when frying, unless specified in
the recipe. Using frozen ingredients defrost and drain before cooking.
Certain foods need to be processed before cooking: washed, browned,
etc. Follow recommendations given in the recipe.
Use smaller amount of dough.
Take the dough out, turn over, place back, and continue cooking. Next
time use smaller amount of dough.
Use proven recipes, adapted for the appliance. Use ingredients, proportions,
cooking programs, and time / temperature settings according to the recipe
instructions.
We recommend using the "Keep Warm" function moderately. If your appliance
features the function of preliminary deactivation of "Keep Warm" use it to
avoid the problem.
Quality of milk depends on the manufacturer and the country of origin. Use
ultra-pasteurized 2.5% fat milk , dilute with water if required.
Use proven recipes, adapted for the appliance. Use ingredients, proportions,
cooking programs, and time /temperature settings according to the recipe
instructions.
Always rinse meat, fish, and grains thoroughly before cooking.
