Using the appliance

• If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the door, wipe the door
with a soft cloth. This may occur when the appliance is operated under high
humidity condition and is normal.
• When the appliance is first used, it may produce some smoke and odour.
This is a normal phenomenon, because the appliance is made of a steel
plate coated with lubricating oil. The new appliance produces fumes and
odour generated by burning the lubricating oil. This phenomenon will
disappear after a period of use.

Important cooking techniques

When preparing food, take the following into account:
• Arrange food carefully. Place the thickest parts of your food towards the
outside of the dish.
• Always cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more time as
needed. Overcooked food can smoke or ignite.
• Always cover food while cooking. Covers prevent splattering and help food to
cook evenly.
• Always turn food over once during cooking. This helps to speed up the
cooking of food, such as chicken, hamburgers and large items like roasts.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to
bottom and from the centre of the dish to the outside.
