dle|2 or device handles|4.
1. Put the food in the cooking pot|3.
2. Add at least 1 cup of liquid.
- Beans and hard vegetables such as
carrots or potatoes should always be
completely covered with water while

- For best results, fill the cooking pot
about half full.
- The cooking pot|3 should contain at
least 1|litre and at most 3|litres of
food including the liquid.

the appliance will begin heating up.
6.2 Checking whether the
food is cooked
• Avoid lifting the lid of the pot while
cooking is in progress. Every time you
open the lid adds to the necessary cook-
ing time.
• You should therefore check that the food
is cooked only towards the end of the
cooking time.

the cooking pot|3 and the temperature has
become too high.
• If this happens, disconnect the appli-
ance from the power supply and allow
it to cool down.
• You can subsequently start the appli-
ance up again in the usual way.
