3. Always check food halfway though cooking time to determine final cook time and temperature.
4. Always check cooking progress after TIME has expired. If more time is needed, cook at short time intervals until food tests done.

For Best Results

1. Use your air fryer to cook pre-packaged foods with a fraction of the oil, in a fraction of the time!
2. Always check food halfway though cooking time to determine final cook time and temperature.
3. Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and avoid excess smoke.
4. To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high fat foods, such as chicken wings or sausages, it may be necessary to empty fat from the frying basket drawer between batches.
5. For crispier results, air fry small batches of freshly breaded foods. Create more surface area by cutting food into smaller pieces. Press breading onto food to help it adhere.
   Refrigerate breaded foods for at least 30 minutes before frying.
6. Arrange breaded food in frying basket so that food is not touching to allow air flow on all surfaces.
7. Spray olive oil or vegetable oil work best as oil is distributed evenly and less oil is needed.
8. Do not overfill frying basket with food. NEVER fill any frying basket more than 2/3 full. When air frying fresh vegetables, we do not recommend adding more than 3 cups of food to the frying basket.
9. Some foods need to be shaken vigorously or turned over during the air fry time. Consult the Air Frying Chart for a general guide.

Air Frying Chart (Includes Preset Menu Items)

WARNING! ALWAYS USE A MEAT THERMOMETER TO ENSURE THAT MEAT,
POULTRY AND FISH ARE COOKED THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING.

IMPORTANT! For your convenience, your air fryer has 8 built in smart cooking options: Air Fry, Roast, Broil, Bake, Reheat, Keep Warm, Pizza and Dehydrate.

The following chart is intended as a general guide only. The quantity of food air fried at one time, the thickness or density of the food, and whether the food is fresh, thawed, or frozen will alter the total cooking time necessary.

1. To assure even cooking/browning, open the frying basket drawer halfway through the cooking time. Check, turn or vigorously shake foods in the frying basket. This chart lists cooking temperature, average total air frying time, and what action is to be taken for best results.
2. Frying smaller batches will result in shorter cooking times and higher food quality.
   Adjust air frying temperatures and times as necessary to suit your taste.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Unless food is pre-packaged and pre-oiled, for browned and crispy results, all foods should be lightly oiled before air frying.

PLEASE NOTE: The USDA recommends that meats such as beef and lamb, etc. should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F/63°C. Pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 °F/71 °C and poultry products should be cooked to an internal temperature of 170 °F/77 °C – 180 °F/82 °C to be sure any harmful bacteria has been killed. When reheating meat/poultry products, they should also be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F/74°C.

Can I use frozen foods in my air fryer?

Yes, you can use frozen foods in your air fryer. However, frozen foods will take longer to cook than fresh foods. Frozen french fries may take as long as 40 minutes to cook in an air fryer. Make sure you preheat your air fryer for at least 10 minutes before putting frozen foods inside of it. Also make sure that you do not overload your basket with too many frozen foods at one time. Overloading the basket may cause some of the food to not get enough heat and will not cook properly. Cook frozen foods in small batches so that they all get enough heat from the circulating hot air inside of your air fryer.

Can I use oil in my air fryer?

Yes, you can use oil in your air fryer but we recommend using spray oil instead of pouring oil into the basket or tray of your air fryer because it is much easier to clean up afterwards and there is less chance of spilling oil all over your countertop or floor when using spray oil versus pouring oil into the basket or tray of your air fryer. You should never fill your air fryers basket or tray more than half full with oil because it will spill out over the top while cooking and make a huge mess on your countertop or floor when cooking with too much oil inside of it at one time. You should only fill your baskets or trays half full with food and then fill them with spray oil after they are already inside of the air fryer so that you don’t spill any oil onto your countertop or floor while cooking with them inside of it at one time. The maximum amount of spray oil that should be used for cooking at one time is 1/4 cup for every 1 pound of food being cooked in an 8

Helpful Hints

1. Spray olive oil or vegetable oil works well for air frying.
2. Use your Air Fryer to cook pre-packaged foods with a fraction of the oil, in a fraction of the time!As a general rule, lower the recipe baking temperature by 20ºF, up to 50ºF and reduce the cooking time by 30% to 50% depending on the food and amount.
3. Do not overfill frying basket with food. NEVER fill any frying basket more than 2/3 full. When air frying fresh vegetables, we do not recommend adding more than 1-11/2 cup of food to the frying basket.
4. For best results, some foods need to be shaken vigorously or turned over during the air fry time. Consult the Air Frying Chart as a general guide.
5. To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high fat foods, such as chicken wings or sausages, it may be necessary to empty fat from the frying basket between batches.
6. Always pat food dry before cooking to encourage browning and avoid excess smoke.
7. Air fry small batches of freshly breaded foods. Press breading onto food, place on a cooling rack and refrigerate to help breading adhere. Arrange in frying basket so that food is not touching to allow air flow on all surfaces.
8. The Air Fryer is perfect for reheating food. Set the temperature to 300ºF for up to 10 minutes.

Air Frying Chart
WARNING! ALWAYS USE A MEAT THERMOMETER TO ENSURE THAT MEAT, POULTRY AND FISH ARE COOKED THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING. The following chart is intended as a guide only. The quantity of food air fried at one time, the thickness or density of the food, and whether the food is fresh, thawed, or frozen may alter the total cooking time necessary.

1. To assure even cooking/browning, open the frying basket halfway through the cooking time. Check, turn or vigorously shake foods in the frying basket. This chart lists average total air frying time, the time at which some action is required, and what action is to be taken for best results.
2. Remember, frying smaller batches will result in shorter cooking times and higher food quality. Adjust air frying temperatures and times as necessary to suit your taste.
   IMPORTANT NOTE: Unless food is pre-packaged and pre-oiled, for browned and crispy results, all foods should be lightly oiled before air frying.

• Oil may be sprayed or brushed onto foods.
• Spray oils work well as oil is evenly distributed and smaller quantities of oil are needed.
• To ensure crispy results, make sure foods are dried before adding oil.
• Cut pieces smaller to create more surface area for crispier results.
• Blanching is a term that refers to pre-cooking foods at a lower temperature before the final air fry.
• Add 3 minutes to the AIR FRY TIME to allow the cold Air Fryer to preheat.

*Add 3 minutes to the AIR FRY TIME to allow the Air Fryer to preheat.

PLEASE NOTE:
The USDA recommends that meats such as beef and lamb, etc. should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145ºF/63ºC. Pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160ºF/71ºC and poultry products should be cooked to an internal temperature of 170ºF/77ºC – 175ºF/82ºC to be sure any harmful bacteria has been killed. When reheating meat/poultry products, they should also be cooked to an internal temperature of 165ºF/74ºC.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SLOW COOKER

Product may vary slightly from illustration
INTRODUCTION TO SLOW COOKING

Slow cooking occurs at temperatures just around boiling. The Slow Cooker can operate at LOW all day or night if required. Cooking on HIGH is very much like cooking in a covered pot on the stovetop. Foods will cook on HIGH in about half the time required for LOW cooking. Additional liquid may be required as foods do boil on HIGH. When cooking is complete, food can be kept on WARM for short periods of time. To turn the Slow Cooker OFF, turn the control dial to the OFF position. Always unplug from the electrical outlet when not in use.

BEFORE USING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. Carefully unpack the slow cooker.
2. Wash the cooking pot and glass lid in warm, soapy water. Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
3.  Wipe interior and exterior surfaces of the base with a soft, moist cloth to remove dust particles collected during packing and handling. NEVER IMMERSE THE BASE, ITS CORD, OR PLUG IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID, IT WILL CAUSE BURNS TO HANDS AND LIMBS.
4.  The slow cooker should be operated before initial use. After cleaning the unit, place the cooking pot inside the base. Pour 2 cups of water into the cooking pot and cover with a lid. Plug the slow cooker into an electrical wall outlet and turn to HIGH setting. Allow operating for approximately 30 minutes.
5.  After 30 minutes, switch OFF and unplug. Allow unit to cool. Remove the cooking pot, and discard water. Rinse the cooking pot, dry thoroughly, and replace it in the base.

LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS

1. Never pull or yank on a cord or the appliance.
2. To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into an outlet.
3. To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and causes it to fray and break.
An extension cord is not recommended for use with this appliance.
DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF THE APPLIANCE WORKS
INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

IMPORTANT
During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/or a slight odor. This is normal and
should quickly disappear. It will not recur after the appliance has been used a few more times.

STONEWARE POT CARE

Like any ceramic, the stoneware pot may crack or break if not properly handled.
To prevent damage, handle with care!
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions can cause breakage resulting in injury or property damage.

• ALWAYS USE POTHOLDERS OR OVEN MITTS WHEN HANDLING HOT STONEWARE, AS IT WILL CAUSE BURNS TO HANDS AND LIMBS.
• DO NOT place hot stoneware pot on the countertop, as it will stain or burn the countertop. Use a protective trivet.
• DO NOT place stoneware pot on any range top burner, under a broiler, microwave browning element, or in a toaster oven; as it will crack the stoneware pot.
•  DO NOT strike utensils against the rim of the stoneware pot to dislodge the food, as it will scratch the stoneware.
• DO NOT use stoneware pot to popcorn, caramelize sugar, or make candy.
• DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or any object that will scratch the cookware or accessories.
•  DO NOT use or repair any pot or lid that is chipped, cracked, or broken.
•  DO NOT use stoneware pot for reheating foods or for general food storage.
•  Always place foods into the stoneware pot at room temperature; then place the pot into the base unit before turning the unit ON.

NEVER heat the stoneware pot when it is empty, as it will crack the pot.

GLASSWARE CARE

WARNING: To prevent cracking or breaking of the glass cover, which may cause personal injury, the cover should be treated with special care.
CAUTIONS: Glass cover may shatter if it is exposed to direct heat or subjected to severe temperature changes. Chips, cracks or deep scratches may also weaken the cover.

• KEEP COVER AWAY FROM broiler, microwave oven, hot stovetop burners, oven heat vents. If cover
  has been utilized in any of these locations, do not use it again, even if there are no signs of damage.
• IF THE COVER BECOMES CHIPPED, CRACKED, OR SCRATCHED, DO NOT USE IT. Discard it.
• ALWAYS LET COVER COOL on a dry, heat-resistant surface before handling. Do not place it on cold or wet surfaces, as this may cause it to crack or shatter.
• ALWAYS USE POTHOLDERS OR OVEN MITTS when removing the hot cover. To avoid burns from escaping steam, always tilt the cover away from hands and face.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Using a slow cooker is easy but different from conventional cooking. To help you, this manual contains many helpful hints for successful slow cooking. Many more slow cooker recipes books are available in libraries and bookstores. Keep these materials handy whether preparing favorite recipes or trying something new. This slow cooker has three heat settings: LOW, HIGH, and WARM. Use the recommended guidelines offered in the recipe being used to determine the cooking time and heating position. Dishes can be prepared well in advance of mealtime and cooking time regulated so that food is ready to serve at a convenient time. A general rule of thumb for most slow cooker meat-and-vegetable combos is:

1.  Prepare recipe according to instructions.
2. Place food in a cooking pot and cover.
3. Plug the slow cooker into a wall outlet and select LOW, HIGH, or WARM.
4. Cook according to recipe instructions.
5. Serving. Turn the slow cooker to the WARM setting for a short period of time prior to serving or turn to the OFF position to unplug the appliance.
6.  Using pot holders, remove the cover.
   CAUTION: When removing the cover, grasp the designated area on the lid and lift to allow steam to escape before setting cover aside.
   To avoid burns, always hold cover so that escaping steam flows away from hands and face.
7. Grasp the cooking pot by the handles and remove it from the base.
8. Tableside serving. If serving directly from the cooking pot, always place a trivet or protective padding under the pot before placing it on a table or countertop.
   CAUTION: The pot will be hot and can cause burns.

HINTS FOR SLOW COOKING

•  Meats will not brown during the cooking process. If you desire to brown, heat a small amount of oil in a skillet and brown meats prior to placing into the stoneware liner.
• Whole herbs and spices flavor better in slow cooking than crushed or ground.
• When cooking in a Slow Cooker, remember that liquids do not boil away like they do in conventional cooking. Reduce the amount of liquid in any recipe that is not designed for a Slow Cooker. The exceptions to this rule would be rice and soups. Remember, liquids can always be added at a later time if necessary. If a recipe results in too much liquid at the end of the cooking time, remove the glass lid and turn the control dial to HIGH. After about 30-45 minutes the amount of liquid will be reduced.
•  Most recipes that call for uncooked meat and vegetables require about 6-8 hours at LOW temperature.
• High-fat meats can result in dishes with less flavor. Pre-cooking or browning will help reduce the amount of fat and help to preserve the color. The higher the fat content, the less liquid is needed. If cooking meat with high-fat content, use thick onion slices under it so that the meat will not sit and cook in the fat. If necessary, use a slice of bread, a spoon, or a straining spoon to skim off excess fat from the top of the foods before serving.
• Foods cut into uniform pieces will cook faster and more evenly than foods left whole such as roast or poultry.
•  Use the WARM setting to keep cooked food at the perfect serving temperature.
  DO NOT cook foods in the WARM setting.
  NOTE: Do not keep foods on the WARM setting for more than 4 hours.

CONVERTING STANDARD RECIPES TO SLOW COOKING

• Vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, turnips, and beets require a longer cooking time than many types of meat. Be sure to place them on the bottom of the Slow Cooker and cover them with liquid.
•  If adding fresh milk or yogurt, this should be done during the last 2 hours. Evaporated milk may be added at the start of cooking.
•  Rice, noodles, and pasta are not recommended for long cooking periods. Cook them separately and then add to the Slow Cooker during the last 30 minutes.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than cleaning must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.

Introduction to Pressure Cooking

Discover the secrets of pressure cooking with this wonderful pressure cooker that will help you cook faster, healthier and tastier meals with unbelievable speed and ease. This pressure cooker offers 11 cooking settings with the touch of a button. Slow cook all day long or whip up a quick delicious meal, this pressure cooker is the perfect sous-chef. No more tough cuts of meat that take hours to cook, only delicious succulent meat with the nutrients and flavours locked in.

Before First Use

• Remove all labels and tags from the product. Carefully unpack your pressure cooker; remove all packaging materials from the parts and accessories.
• Remove the lid by turning the handle clockwise to the UNLOCK position and lifting the lid off the unit.
• Wash the cooking pot and all accessories that will come into contact with food in hot soapy water with a sponge or dishcloth. DO NOT use a scouring pad or any abrasive materials as this could damage the product. Rinse the cooking pot, accessories and lid thoroughly and dry.
• Avoid leaving the lid fully immersed in water as it will take a long time to drain and dry.
• Attach the condensation collector by sliding it into place 
• Ensure that the well dried cooking pot is sitting flat in the base unit with proper contact.
• Never lift the pressure cooker using the lid handle, always use base handles.

NOTE: DO NOT IMMERSE THE MAIN COOKING UNIT IN WATER!

Using Your Pressure Cooker

• Cooking under pressure raises the temperature of the liquid and steam inside to well above boiling point and results in food being cooked up to 70% faster. This method of cooking retains more vitamins and minerals and enhances natural flavours. It also means that less energy is used because cook times are so quick saving you both time and money.
• NOTE: Place the base on a dry, level, heat resistant surface, away from the edge of the work surface.
• Do not use the appliance on the floor or under hanging wall cabinets. Small amounts of steam will escape from the pressure release valve while heating and sometimes during the cooking cycle. This is perfectly normal.
• Place the dry and clean cooking pot into the base unit and ensure that it is seated properly on the heating plate.
• Check that silicone sealing ring is securely placed around the aluminum plate and the aluminum plate is attached to the housing lid with the metal peg facing outwards. If the plate is not correctly fitted the lid will not close properly and the unit will not be able to build up pressure, so ensure it all assembles correctly
• If you are sautéing or browning food first before cooking, add some oil or butter to the cooking pot and select either option make sure you do this with the lid OFF. When you have finished browning press the cancel option.
• Place the remaining ingredients to be cooked in the cooking pot and add liquid according to your recipe. Make sure that amount of food and liquid combined reaches the minimum mark on the inside of the cooking pot, but never more than the 4/5 mark on the cooking pot as the food needs space to boil and bubble  When cooking food that expands such as rice, dried beans, grains and legumes, do not fill more than the 3/5 mark on the cooking pot.
• Secure the lid to the appliance. Place the lid on the appliance in the “UNLOCK” position, then turn the lid anti-clockwise to the “LOCK” position  Ensure that the lid fits tightly, you will hear a click once correctly in place.
• Once the lid is closed securely, attach the power cord to the base of the unit then plug the cord into power socket. Use the CONTROL PANEL to choose the appropriate food type and adjust the default cooking time using the +/- button to suit the recipe that you are cooking.
• Set the pressure release valve to the PRESSURE setting as shown
• The pressure cooker will take a few minutes to build up pressure, during this time the LED panel will circle round. Once the required pressure is reached the time will become fixed and begin to countdown. The unit is now cooking under pressure.
• The LED panel may circle around during the cooking time, do not be alarmed the unit is simply maintaining pressure.
• During initial use, you may notice a slight odour due to the burning off of manufacturing residue. This is completely normal, it does not affect the food being cooked and will disappear after a few uses.

NOTE: If the silicone sealing ring is cracked or broken do NOT use it in the pressure cooker. Contact Customer Services and replace with a new sealing ring and assemble on aluminum inner plate

The Delay Function

• Before selecting the cooking function press the DELAY TIMER button to delay the start of the cooking time. The delay timer can be adjusted up to a maximum delay time of 2 hours. Continue to press the button until the desired time delay is reached. The amount of time until the unit begins cooking will be displayed on the screen.
• Once the delay time has been selected use the CONTROL PANEL to choose the desired cooking setting (i.e. rice, soup, chicken etc) and adjust the cooking time using the +/- button. It will flash then automatically switch to the delay time. The delay time will start to count down and cooking will begin once the delay time has elapsed.
• N.B Do not leave perishable foods such as meat, poultry, fish, cheese and dairy products at room temperature for longer than 2 hours.
• Please note that once the cooking time has counted down, the time may not be adjusted. If more or less cooking time is required. The cooking process must be cancelled and the timing must be reset to the required/desired time.
• During set up and while cooking, the WARM/CANCEL button can be pressed to cancel cooking at any time.

Warm/Cancel Functions
Once the cooking process is complete, the Pressure Cooker will beep and move automatically to the WARM function this is shown by a “bb” on the LED display. This function is used to keep cooked food warm up to 24 hours, however for maximum flavour the recommended hold time for food is no longer than 6 hours. This function is also to stop or cancel the current function.

NOTE: It is not recommended to use the WARM function for extended periods when cooking fish or chicken dishes.

To Remove the Lid
When the pressure cooking cycle has finished, the unit automatically switches to WARM. At this point you may choose to release the pressure in two ways. The floating pressure safety valve will not go down until pressure is released and you will not be able to open the lid.

• Natural Pressure Release – This is recommended for anything with large amounts of liquid e.g. soups and stocks it will prevent the liquid inside from boiling over and blocking the pressure release valve. Following pressure cooking, allow the unit to remain on the WARM function. The pressure will begin to drop inside this can take from 12 minutes to 30 minutes depending on the amount of liquid inside. The lid can only be removed with the pressure has gone down.
• Quick Pressure Release – Following pressure cooking, the cooker will beep, this indicates that the cooking time has finished. Press the Cancel Button to stop the WARM function and turn the Pressure Release Valve to the “Pressure Release” position using an oven mitt (see Fig 6). Hot Steam will be released. DO NOT put your hands or face near the unit when turning the valve. The lid will only open once all the pressure has been released. Turn the lid clockwise and unlock. When removing the lid, tilt the lid away from you, this way the steam is directed away from you to avoid being scalded by the escaping steam. Use oven mitts when removing the inner cooking pot. Only use non-stick utensils to serve from the cooking pot as any hard utensils made from stainless steel or similar materials could damage the non-stick surface of the inner cooking pot.

One Touch Digital Functions
For your convenience the pressure cooker has 11 pre-set options with default cook times. Based on your recipe you can choose any one of these settings Sauté, Browning, Pressure Cook, Slow Cook, Soup, Stew, Meat, Chicken, Rice, Risotto/Steam and Warm. Every button has 2 settings and a corresponding pair of lights next to it. To select a setting simply press the button and the corresponding light will indicate the selected setting   You can adjust the cook time by pressing the + or – buttons. When the time has been selected the LED will flash until the unit builds up pressure. When the pressure is at the correct level inside the cooking time till start to countdown.

Sauté
This is great for caramelizing vegetables which adds more flavour to your dishes, simply place a little oil or butter in the base of the cooking pot and add your onions, carrots etc. Cooking will soften them and add a delicious flavour, you can also warm spices to release their flavour. This setting is also perfect to reduce and thicken any remaining liquid at the end of cooking time as there is no evaporation during pressure cooking so you need to add less liquid. Sometimes excess liquid may need thickening you can either add a cornflour and water mixture or simply bubble it for 10 minutes to reduce the liquid.

Browning
As meat will not brown during the pressure cooking process it is recommended to brown meat before so that this not only tastes better but the finished dish will look better. By browning meat, such as lamb, it will reduce the amount of fat present in the final meal and will also add a richer flavour. Use this setting for browning meat, chicken or game. Ensure you cut them into even sized pieces so they cook evenly. Add oil or butter to the base of the pot and sear the meat. If you have a lot of meat you may have to brown in batches this will maintain a high heat and ensure the meat is browned rather than stewed.

Pressure Cook
This setting is for general pressure cooking. Anything can be cooked on this setting that isn’t included in one of the one touch digital options. Just adjust the time according to your recipe.

Slow Cook
This is for long slow cooking up to 12 hours. It is NOT cooked under pressure. This is ideal if you need to be out the house all day and want to eat as soon as you come home. Use this setting as you would a slow cooker, so any recipes suitable for a slow cooker would be good for this setting. Remember this is low and slow, so cheap cuts of meat are better. Save your premium cuts for super fast cooking using a pressure setting.

Soup
Ideal for soups and stocks, just ensure that you do not overfill the cooking pot and make sure you use the NATURAL PRESSURE RELEASE when removing the lid for safety following the instructions detailed on page 9.

Stew
This is great for Meat Ragu, Chilli Con Carne, Casseroles and even pie fillings like Steak and Ale.

Meat
This is great for larger pieces of meat, such a lamb shanks, pork shoulder, ribs, brisket, gammon etc. Brown them first using the browning option then simply select this setting and adjust your time to suit your recipe

Chicken
This setting is great for cooking a whole chicken for a delicious pot roast, then pop it under a pre-heated grill to crisp up the skin if you prefer it golden. You can also cook chicken legs, thighs, drumsticks and fillets.

Rice
Cook perfect fluffy rice on this setting. You can add spices or herbs during cooking and add salt if required. Also a drizzle of oil helps to reduce the foam (see Hints and Tips for cooking guidelines).

Risotto/Steam
Make delicious creamy risotto on this setting in a fraction of the time without the need to keep stirring. Simply sauté the grains of rice in some butter or oil until they turn opaque then add the liquid. To steam simply add sufficient water to the cooking pot to come to the 1/5 level on measuring scale inside the cooking pot. Place the steam rack into the pot, it will fit inside the pot on the ridge above the water Add the food to be steamed on top of the rack cutting vegetables into even pieces and place the lid on top of the unit and turn the pressure release value to the pressure setting. Select the steam function and adjust the time accordingly. If you wish to steam larger items such as puddings, you will need to place a trivet in the bottom of the cooker for the pudding bowl to sit on.

Warm
The unit automatically switches to keep warm as soon as the cooking has finished. This is great if not everybody is eating at the same time. This can be cancelled at any point by pressing the button again to cancel the function. This setting can also be used to keep food warm that has NOT been cooked in the pressure cooker. It can be used as a food warmer to keep already cooked food hot. This is especially good if you are having a party and need to keep a big pot of Chilli Con Carne hot for your guests. Using this function it is not recommended to keep food warm for more than 6 hours as this will affect the taste and texture of the food.

Cooking Times

Cooking Rice
White rice (Basmati, Long Grain) takes 3 minutes to cook and uses the fully absorption method. The rice will be slightly sticker than rice cooked on the stove top. Use the marking on the pot as a guide i.e 2, 4, 6 cups. Fill the water in the pot FIRST to the level required and then add the corresponding cup of rice.

Set the time to 3 minutes and use the NATURAL PRESSURE RELEASE METHOD. During this time the rice will absorb the steam and will be dry not wet. Cooking wholegrain/brown rice is very different. It needs to be cooked in lots of water and then drained. Only cook a maximum of 2 CUPS grain/brown rice in 6.5 cups of water.

Cooking Vegetables
When steaming vegetables, chop them up into even size pieces so they cook evenly. Remember most vegetables take a few minutes to cook. Add boiling water to the pot this will bring the unit up to pressure much quicker. Always use the quick steam release to avoid overcooking.

Hints and Tips for Pressure Cooking

• It really is worth sautéing vegetables, browning meat and warming spices before pressure cooking.
• It may take a little longer to prepare but the end result will be worth it. It adds depth of flavour to the finished result.
• The amount of liquid required when pressure cooking is much less than traditional methods as there is no evaporation during cooking. Any excess liquid at the end of cooking can be thickened or reduced using the Sauté function or simply use a cornflour/water mixture to thicken any remaining liquid.
• Hot liquid/food will come to pressure quicker than cold liquid/food.
• Pressure cooking allows less tender cuts of meat to be cooked quickly and achieve a tender juicy result
  

  Beef	Lamb	Pork	Chicken
  Shin, Chuck and Blade (Braising Steak) Brisket, Silverside and Oxtail.	Shanks, Shoulder, Breast, Scrag and Middle neck.	Diced leg, Shoulder, Spare ribs and Belly.	Drumsticks, Thighs on the bone or Fillets and Legs.

• When preparing vegetables they should be cut into even-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
• Vegetables can be cooked from frozen very easily, they may take slightly longer than if they were thawed, just make sure they are piping hot before eating.
• It is not recommended to cook meat, fish, poultry or game from frozen. It is recommended to thaw it first as thawed food can either be marinated or browned first which will add heaps of flavour. Also frozen meat will release the fat into the cooking liquid which will result in a fatty sauce. Thawed meat that is browned first will release fat which can be poured away before cooking. If meat, fish, poultry or game is cooked from frozen the cooking time will be longer and the use of a thermometer is essential to ensure that the internal temperature of the product has reached AT LEAST 75°C, if it is not, continue to cook until it is reached.
• When pot roasting meat, add sliced vegetables on the base of the pot such as thickly sliced onions, carrots or celery. Sit the meat on top of these and the flavours from the vegetables will enrich any sauce or gravy. Simply strain the liquid through a sieve and thicken and serve with your pot roast.
• When cooking dried beans and peas, soak them for a minimum of 3 hours in boiling water first or overnight, this will ensure that they remain intact and do not split. Or you can use the quick soak method which is to pre-cook them in the pressure cooker before adding to your recipe for further cooking. Simply rinse and pick out any broken or discolored beans, for every 1 cup of beans add 4 cups of water and a teaspoon of salt to the cooking pot, this prevents the beans from splitting. Add a good drizzle of oil and cook for 4 minutes under pressure. Release the pressure carefully as beans foam. Drain and rinse lightly then use in your recipe that calls for pre-soaked beans.
• Remember do not fill more than half full as beans foam.
• To adapt your own recipes, the general rule is that cooking time will be at least 1⁄3 to 1/2 of the traditional cooking time. Reduce your cooking liquid by at least half – it may be trial and error at first with your recipe to get it right. You may wish to add vegetables and canned pulses at the end of cooking to avoid overcooking.

Care and Cleaning

Pot Roast Chicken with Rosemary and Garlic
This is one pot cooking at its best. This recipe cooks a whole chicken in 30 minutes; this means that you can have a mid-week roast in no time at all!  erves 4-6 people depending on how hungry you are

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary, plus a few extra sprigs
• 30g soft butter
• 1 lemon, zested
• 2-3 garlic cloves
• 1 tsp. sea salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• 1 medium size chicken (approximately 1.5kg)
• 1 small glass of dry white wine or chicken stock
• 2 onions, peeled and thickly sliced
• 1 tbsp. cornflour/water mixture to thicken
• Serve with a selection of vegetables or a simple salad.

Method

• Start by making the herb butter. Pound the chopped rosemary, butter, lemon zest, garlic, salt and a good grind of black pepper in a mortar and pestle until it is smooth or you could use a mini chopper.
• The aim is to get the butter under the skin of the chicken, so lift the skin slightly and using your fingers loosen the skin from the chicken breast, this creates a ‘pocket’ for you to add the butter.
• Spoon in some of the butter and push it down and around the breast. Repeat with the other side.
• Keep a little back and rub it all over the chicken.
• Slice the lemon in half and add half to the cavity of the chicken along with a sprig of rosemary.
• Use the BROWNING function to sear your chicken on all sides; this will give the chicken some colour when cooked. When browned on all sides remove and set this aside for a minute. Cancel the browning function.
• Add the sliced onions so that they fit in the bottom of the cooking pot. Add the wine or stock to the cooking pot and the last sprig of rosemary to the cooking liquid. Place the chicken on top of the onions, by doing this the chicken does not come into contact with the base where the skin can catch slightly and the onions will add a lovely flavour to the gravy.
• Give the chicken another sprinkle with salt and pepper and a sprinkle with any stray bits of rosemary and secure the lid.
• Select the CHICKEN function and set the time to 30 minutes. Cook under pressure. When the chicken has finished cooking, leave the unit for 10 minutes to give the chicken time to rest.
• Release any remaining pressure and remove the chicken. If you want to brown it further pop it under a hot grill for 5 minutes to crisp the skin.
• Skim any fat away from the juice remaining in the cooking pot and thicken the remaining liquid with the cornflour/water mixture or reduce it down by bringing it back to the boil on the SAUTÉ function and bubble away until reduced, strain through a sieve and serve with the chicken.

3. To assure even cooking/browning, ALWAYS open the basket drawer halfway through the cook time and check, turn or shake foods in the frying basket. Some recipes may call for brush or spray oil halfway through cooking. Adjust TIME or TEMP if needed.
   CAUTION: Always use oven mitts when handling the hot air fryer basket.
   CAUTION: Hot oil can collect at the base of the drawer. To avoid risk of burns or personal injury, or to avoid oil from contaminating air fried foods, always unlock and remove the frying basket from the drawer before emptying. NEVER turn the drawer upside down with the frying basket attached.
4. Allow cooked foods to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the drawer from the machine and place on a flat, heat resistant surface. Then remove frying basket from the drawer.
5. Shake air fried foods out onto serving area. Promptly return the frying basket to the drawer and lock into place. Continue air frying subsequent batches, if any.
6. To avoid excess smoke, when cooking naturally high fat foods, such as bacon, chicken wings or sausages, it may be necessary to empty fat from the frying basket drawer between batches.
7. For crispier results, air fry small batches of freshly breaded foods. Create more surface area by cutting food into smaller pieces. Press breading onto food to help it adhere. Refrigerate breaded foods for at least 30 minutes before frying.
8. Arrange breaded food in frying basket so that food is not touching to allow air flow on all surfaces.
9. Spray oils work best. Oil is distributed evenly and less oil is needed. Canola, olive, avocado, coconut, grapeseed, peanut, or vegetable oil work well.
10. Unplug the Air Convection Fryer when not in use.

A Note on Air Frying Pre-packaged Frozen Foods

1. Where microwave ovens often produce hot, mushy results and toaster ovens take forever, air convection frying assures reasonably fast, crispy, delicious results!
2. As a rule, depending on the food and amount to be cooked, suggested cook TIMES may have to be reduced slightly. Always check food halfway through cooking time to determine final cook TIME and TEMP.
3. Always check cooking progress after TIME has expired.

Air Convection Frying Chart (Includes Preset Food Menu Items)

WARNING! Times are estimated and based on average sizes and weights.
ALWAYS USE A MEAT THERMOMETER TO ENSURE THAT MEAT, POULTRY AND FISH ARE COOKED THOROUGHLY BEFORE SERVING.
NOTE: Frying smaller batches will result in shorter cooking times and higher food quality. Adjust air frying temperatures and times as necessary to suit your taste.
NOTE: Unless food is pre-packaged and pre-oiled, for browned and crispy results, all foods should be lightly oiled before air frying.

PLEASE NOTE:
The USDA recommends that meats such as beef and lamb, etc. should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145ºF/63ºC. Pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160ºF/71ºC and poultry products should be cooked to an internal temperature of 170ºF/77ºC – 180ºF/82ºC to be sure any harmful bacteria has been killed. When reheating meat/poultry products, they should also be cooked to an internal temperature of 165ºF/74ºC.

Getting to know your Cake Pop Maker

Product may vary slightly from illustration

Before Using For The First Time

• Remove all parts included in the box.
• Wash all the parts thoroughly (refer to Cleaning and Maintenance section for more information).
  NOTE: Your Cake Pop Maker may emit a small amount of smoke and/or odor when you use it for the first time. This is normal and harmless, however we recommend that you do not eat the first cake pop you make with the Cake Pop Maker.

Using Your Cake Pop Maker

1. Plug the cord into your 120 V AC wall outlet.
2. The Red Ready Light will turn off when the appliance reaches proper cooking temperature. Once heated, ready times will be faster.
3. When the Red Ready Light turns off, using the handle, lift the top lid to the open position and apply a light layer of vegetable oil, olive oil or canola oil to the cooking plates. Pour and spread the cake pop batter evenly onto the lower plate so that the batter fills the lower plate and the peak areas of the plate are covered.
   CAUTION: DO NOT USE COOKING SPRAYS. THEY CAN CAUSE A BUILD-UP ON THE COOKING PLATES AND MAY AFFECT THE NON-STICK PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCT.
4. Using the handle, lower the top lid.
5. Allow the Cake Pop Maker to cook for 2 – 3 minutes, according to recipe directions. The Red READY light will cycle on and off as the unit maintains baking temperature.
6. When the Red ready light turns OFF, using oven mitts gently open the lid by lifting the lid handle; if it pulls, continue baking for 30 seconds and test again. If the cake pops need to bake to a darker finish, close the lid and continue cooking at 20 second intervals until the desired color is achieved.
7. Wearing oven mitts, remove cake pops from the cooking plates using a non-metallic utensil. A wooden or heat-proof plastic spatula can be used to remove the cake pops.
   CAUTION: To avoid damage to the non-stick surface, never use any sharp, pointed or metal objects.
   WARNING: Cooking surfaces are hot, do not touch; use caution until cooking plates are cool.
8. To make more cake pops, close the Cake Pop Maker until the Red Ready Light appears off, then repeat from step 4.
9. When finished baking cake pops, remove plug from wall outlet.
10. After it has sufficiently cooled, the heating plates may be wiped clean.

Tips For Perfectly Baked Cake Pops

1. The exact amount of batter needed to make perfect full-sized cake pops depends on the typed and consistency of the batter. Use the same ladle or measuring cup each time to determine how much batter you need to fill the lower plate fully so as to cover the peaks in the plate.
2. To avoid cake pops with a moist base, kept the cake pops on a wire cooling rack. This will retain the crispness of the cake pops.

User Maintenance Instructions

This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Contact a qualified appliance repair technician if the product requires servicing.

Cleaning and Maintenance

1. Unplug the Cake Pop Maker, and allow it to cool down before cleaning.
2. You can easily remove any excess oils or crumbs without disassembling the appliance.
3. Never submerge the appliance in water or place it in the dishwasher.
4. Use only plastic or wooden utensils on the heating plates. Metal may damage the plates.
5. Use a soft cloth on the heating plates and occasionally a metal polish intended for stainless steel on the outer housing. Never use abrasive scouring pads or steel wool.
6. If there is hardened batter on the plates, pour a little oil and let it sit for about 5-7 minutes. You can then wipe clean with a paper towel.
7. Do not use the Cake Pop Maker for anything other than making cake pops

Preparing Cake Pops

WHAT YOU WILL NEED
Cake mix (or homemade)

FIRST COVERING
Prepared cake frosting (or homemade) Candy melts, various colors Chocolate chips (any flavor/color, including butterscotch) Jam, jelly, preserves, honey

FUN TOPPINGS
Colored sprinkles Chopped nuts Shredded sweetened coconut Small colored candies such as M&M®’s Colored icing tubes Cinnamon sugar Ginger sugar

CAKE POPS SUPPLIES
Lollipop sticks
Styrofoam form to stand pops

1. To prepare cake pops: Dip sticks into the melted candy or chips before inserting them into the cake pop. This will help to hold pops into place.
2. Stand the cake pops in a Styrofoam form to keep them from touching. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes before decorating.
3. When you are ready to dip, take pops out of the refrigerator no more than 5 at a time.
4. Frost cake pops with your favorite frosting or combination of frostings. Then roll into toppings of your choice or press candies or nuts into coating.
5. If you are using liquefied candy melts or chips as the first covering:

• Using a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/4 to 1/2 cup candy melts or any chocolate or flavored
  baking chips for 1 minute. Stir well. Microwave for an additional 15 seconds, if necessary.
  NOTE: A double-boiler or a pan over boiling water can also be used.
• If needed, add a splash of milk to chips before heating to thin dipping mixture.
• Dip pops into the bowl, swirl cakes in the dipping mixture until it is covered. Use a
  teaspoon to help drip candy over the cake. Work quickly as the chocolate will begin to get lumpy as it hardens.
• Roll cake into toppings of your choice or press candies or nuts into wet coating.
  HINT: When using melted white chocolate as the first coating, put some aside to use as a colored drizzle. Melt chocolate and add GEL food coloring until the desired color is achieved. Decorate using colored chocolate in a piping bag or a plastic bag with the corner snipped.
  IMPORTANT: Never use liquid food coloring as it will harden immediately and ruin the chocolate.
  6. If you are using jam, jelly, preserves or honey:
• Place in microwave-safe bowl and heat on HIGH power for 10 seconds.
• Brush pops with melted fruit.
• Roll or dip cake pops into toppings of your choice..

NOTE: Toaster may emit a thin smoke on the initial use. This is normal and not detrimental to the performance of the Toaster..

Automatic Centering Guides

Lowering the toasting lever closes the centering guides, and holds the bread or toaster food centrally in the toasting slots.

NOTE: The toasting lever will not lock down unless the Toaster is plugged into a 120V AC electrical outlet.

Toasting Instructions

1. Before toasting, make sure the crumb tray is locked in position on the bottom of the Toaster and the toasting lever is in the UP position.

Convenience Food Toasting

Many varieties of packaged convenience food are available today, both frozen and non-frozen (shelf pastry). Since toaster foods and individual tastes vary, it is difficult to recommend exact browning settings. However, after a little experimentation you will discover the best setting for your needs. You may also wish to refer to the heating instructions on convenience food packaging.

Toaster Pastry

For best results, follow the instructions printed on the pastry package. If the package does not have instructions, position the browning control dial to medium, between (3) and (4). Some pastries may require a second toasting cycle.

NOTE: Do not use this Toaster for toasting pastry items with runny-type frosting or open fillings.

CAUTION: Never leave Toaster unattended when toasting pastries.

Non-Frozen Shelf Pastry

Turn the browning control dial to a lighter setting. For thicker convenience foods, it may be necessary to adjust the browning control dial to a higher setting / longer toasting cycle.

Removing Lodged Foods

NOTE: This Toaster is equipped with Anti-Jam feature. If any toast or toaster food gets jammed, the Toaster will shut OFF automatically.

1. If, after toasting, a piece of bread or any other toaster food becomes lodged in any of the toasting slots, unplug the Toaster and allow it to cool.
2. Hold the toasting lever down. Turn the Toaster upside down and shake the food loose.
   IMPORTANT: Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast, because that may damage the heating element or cause injury.
3. Pull the crumb tray from the bottom of the Toaster. Wipe the crumb tray with a clean cloth and lock into place.

IMPORTANT POINTS

• Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing into the toasting slot(s).
• For best results, clean the crumb tray frequently.
• Different breads require different browning settings. Press the alo lighted CANCEL button at any time to check toast color.
• When multiple browning buttons have been pressed, (up to 3) it may be necessary to shorten the browning time by setting the browning control dial 2 shades lighter. Check toast color and continue toasting if necessary.
• Do not block extra wide toasting slots. Never place any object over the top opening.
• Do not toast buttered bread, Texas toast, English muffins, bagels or pita bread. Melted butter will cause fire.
• When toasting more than 1 slice of bread, use slices of similar size, thickness and freshness.
• Stale bread, thin bread or sweet bread products, such as tea cakes and fruit loaf, brown much more quickly than ordinary bread, so they should be toasted on the lighter settings.
• Never immerse Toaster, cord or plug in water or other liquid.
• Never use a fork or sharp-edged utensil to remove toast, because that may damage the heating element or cause injury.
