Tips and tricks
• For most food preparation, use the flip-
and-stir wand only for best performance�
When preparing larger quantities (near the
MAX FILL line), or for foods like soups and
stews, add the side scraper to help mix and
circulate foods�

recommended to stir at least 380–760 g
(2–4 cups) of rice to get the best ipping
and stirring performance

ip/incorporate 700 ml-1000 ml
of ingredients at a time�
• Use of the Stir Tower is not recommended
when preparing smaller quantities of lighter
or delicate ingredients such as mushrooms�
• The flip-and-stir wand is ideal for
preparing foods ingredients such
as onions, carrots, broccoli, potato
(cubed), meatballs (40-60 g/ 2-3 oz�
each), small to medium shrimp, and
sliced or cubed meats and poultry�

CARE AND CLEANING
TROUBLESHOOTING
Cleaning your Stir Tower
Remove the Stir Tower from the Multi-
Cooker before cleaning�
• Allow Stir Tower and accessories
to cool completely before cleaning�

scouring pads� They could scratch
the surface�
• Stir Tower arm features a nonstick ceramic
coating for easy cleaning�
• Wipe the outside of the Stir Tower with
a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly�
NOTE: The flip-and-stir wand and
Side Scraper are dishwasher durable,
but handwashing in hot, soapy water
is recommended�
• Food not being stirred, or sticking to
side of pot:
For most cooking, use only the ip-and-
stir wand�
For larger quantities or for foods like
soups and stews, use both stirring
attachments together�
• Stir Tower not turning on:
The Stir Tower is powered by the Multi-
Cooker� Be sure that the Multi-Cooker
is plugged in and seated properly on the
easy connect power port�
• Motor shutting off:
The stirring motor has built-in thermal
overload protection� If food is too thick
or heavy, try selecting a slower speed, or
prepare a smaller quantity�
• Stir arm won’t lock into place:
If the stir arm does not go all the way
down, rotate the attachments slightly
before lowering the arm�
Be sure that the stir arm is aligned with
the pouring spout�
• Power (ON) indicator does not
light up
