5 Usingtheappliance
Tip
• The appliance comes with a certain
protection when opening or closing
the top lid. To avoid unexpected
operations on the control panel, it will
be turned off when the lid is open.
This is normal.
• To cancel an ongoing cooking process,
press , and the appliance
will be in standby mode.
Note
•During the cooking process, if you
want to open and close the lid
(especially when there are a lot of
water in the inner pot), make sure to
slowly close it or wait for 1-2 minutes,
so that the steam disperses and the
pressure is released. This is to avoid
liquid in the inner pot being ejected
from the steam vent.
Beforerstuse
1 Take out all the accessories from the
inner pot, and remove all packaging
materials of it.
2 Clean the parts of the appliance
thoroughly before using it for the
rst time (see chapter "Cleaning and
Maintenance").
Note
•Make sure all parts are completely dry
before you start using the appliance.
•There is an on/off switch on the lower
right side of the appliance (next to the
power socket). Make sure to turn it to
the "I" position to switch it on before
cooking.

Cakerecipe
1 Preparation of raw material:
• Smallquantity:
• 3 eggs
• 100g white sugar (about 2/3 cup)
• 100g cake powder (about 1 cup)
• 50g butter (about 1/3 cup)
• 18g milk (about 1/10 cup)
• Largequantity:

20
EN
• 5 eggs,
• 180g white sugar (about 1 cup)
• 180g cake powder (about 2 cups)
• 80g butter (about 2/3 cup)
• 36g milk (about 1/5 cup)
Note
•You may adjust the raw material
proportion as per personal tastes.
Don't put in too much raw material,
or the quality will be affected and even
underdone
2 Separate the whites from the yolks
and put them in different bowls.
3 Mix round white sugar with the whites
and yolks respectively, till the bubbles
appear.
Note
• If the temperature of egg is too low,
you may use insulated water at 40°C
to warm it up. The cake made will be
soft, loose and elastic.
• Whisk the egg till the egg material
ows down the egg whisk as silk.
• The vessel and egg whisk must be
clean. If there is oil in it, the egg
mixture will not produce bubbles
easily.
• To avoid scratching the nonstick
coating, do not whisk the egg in the
inner pot.
4 Add cake powder, and mix well.
5 Add milk and melted butter (warm
up the butter above warm water till it
liquies), and mix them immediately.
Note
• If the mixture is not well beat up,
there will be big bubbles in the cake,
and the cake will have a rough taste. If
the mixture is over beat up, the cake
will be too hard without bubbles.
•Pour the cake mixture into the inner
pot and start the baking process
before the bubbles burst.
•When the baking is finished, do not
leave the cake inside of the inner pot.
Take it out immediately to avoid the
cake getting damp.
