CLEANING YOUR FLIP-AND-STIR ATTACHMENT
Remove the Stir Tower from the
Multi-Cooker before cleaning.
• Allow Stir Tower and accessories
to cool completely before cleaning.
• Wipe the outside of the Stir Tower with
a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal
scouring pads. They could scratch
the surface.

cooking pot. Add 50 g baking soda
and mix well.
• Immerse the flip-and-stir wand and side
scraper in the baking soda solution for
12 hours. Rinse well with warm tap water.
TIPS AND TRICKS
• For most food preparation, use the flip-
and-stir wand only for best performance.

the MAX FILL line), or for foods like
soups and stews, add the side scraper

• For stirring risotto (Arborio) rice, it is
recommended to stir at least 2–4 cups
(380–760 g) of rice to get the best
flipping and stirring performance.

flip/incorporate 3–4 cups (0.75–1.0 L)
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, potatoes
(cubed), meatballs (2-3 oz./40-60 g
each), small to medium shrimp, and
sliced or cubed meats and poultry.
