6. Overview of functions
Your new Multi-Pot combines energy and time-saving pressure cooking with the modern, automatic control of cooking
processes. As a result, this device is not only a particularly safe pressure cooker, but also an intelligent multifunctional
device, which allows you e.g. to cook gently like a slow cooker, or to prepare yoghurt.
The Multi-Pot has 14 cooking programs. The cooking programs have default settings for cooking time, pressure level and
temperature.
- Some programs operate without pressure. It is not possible to set a pressure for these.
- For the other programs, you can change the preset pressure level High|54 or Low|56 using the button Pressure
Level|40.
- The preset temperatures cannot be changed.
- The change the cooking time within the adjustable range:
- Repeatedly press the program button to switch between the default settings Less, Normal, More|51.
- You can use the buttons +|33/–|46 if necessary to set the desired time manually.
- The cooking time displayed is the time for which the device has reached and maintains the programmed values for
temperature and pressure. Before this the device is heating up and building up temperature.
The preset values and the adjustable ranges can be found in the following table.

7. Before first use
• Clean the device prior to its first use (see
“Cleaning and storage” on page 20)!
• Remove the protective film from the operating pan-
el|10.
NOTE: because the device is slightly greased when deliv-
ered, slight smoke and odour may be produced during its
first use. This is harmless and stops after a short amount of
time. Please ensure sufficient ventilation in the meantime.
8. Handling of the Multi-Pot
8.1 Opening lid (when cold)
Figure B:
1. Hold down the release button|24 while you turn the
lid|5clockwise until the arrow marking|6points to
the marking |19.
2. Remove the lid|5upwards.
8.2 Placing lid in drip-dry position
Figure C: for example to drip-dry the hot lid, you can
place the lid|5upright with the tab|4in the recess in one
of the handles|20 of the base unit|17.
8.3 Closing lid
Figure D:
For pressure to be able to build up in the Multi-Pot, it is im-
portant that the lid|5is closed correctly.
1. Place the lid|5with the arrow marking T|6pointing
to the marking |19.
2. Turn the lid|5anticlockwise until the arrow
marking T|6points to the marking |9. The lock-
ing mechanism will click audibly.
NOTE: when the lid|5is on top of the base unit but not
correctly closed, signal sounds will be heard and the dis-
play|29 will show Lid.
8.4 Opening/closing pressure valve
DANGER! Risk of injury from scalding!
~Ensure that no body parts (e.g. hand or arm) are
above the pressure valve|1when you open this using
the pressure valve button |2and steam escapes.
There is a danger of being scalded by escaping
steam.
The pressure valve button |2allows you to open and
close the pressure valve|1.
8.5 Pressure indicator
DANGER! Risk of injury from scalding!
~Before each use, you must check to ensure that the un-
derside of the pressure indicator|27 is clean and
moves freely (see “Preparations before each use” on
page 13).
~Ensure that no body parts (e.g. hand or arm) are
above the pressure indicator|23 when steam escapes
from it.
The pressure indicator|23 is a valve located in a recess in
the lid|5. Hot steam can flow out of this valve when pres-
sure has built up inside the Multi-Pot. You can see that the
Multi-Pot is pressurised when the pressure indicator|23 is
lifted.
Opening Closing
• Press down the pressure
valve button |2until it
clicks into place.
• Press down the pressure
valve button |2so
that it disengages.

12 GB
8.6 Opening lid safely (while hot)
DANGER! Risk of injury from scalding!
~Do not open the Multi-Pot while it is pressurised. Please
take note of the pressure indicator|23. Wait until the
pressure has dropped, or open the pressure valve|1
until only a little steam is coming out. Never use force
to open the Multi-Pot.
~Ensure that no body parts (e.g. hand or arm) are
above the pressure valve|1when you open this using
the pressure valve button |2and steam escapes.
There is a danger of being scalded by escaping
steam.
DANGER! Risk of injury from hot food!
~When you have heated semi-liquid food, carefully
shake the Multi-Pot before opening. This should prevent
food from spraying out.
~If you have cooked meat with the skin on, the skin can
swell up. Do not pierce the meat while the skin is swol-
len.
DANGER! Risk of injury from burning!
~Only touch the hot device on the operating panel|10
or by the handles|3/20.
When the Multi-Pot is pressurised, the pressure must first be
released from the pot before it can be opened safely. A
safety mechanism prevents the lid|5from being opened as
long as the pressure indicator|23 is lifted.
To release the pressure, you have two options:
-Forfast steam release, the pressure is rapidly re-
leased through the pressure valve|1.
-Forslow cooling, the pressure is released slowly
without a valve being opened.
NOTES:
• Use slow cooling if large volumes of liquid (e.g. soup)
or foods containing a lot of starch (e.g. porridge) are
inside the Multi-Pot. These foods can spray out with the
steam during fast steam release, blocking the valves.
• Use fast steam release if possible for foods with short
cooking times that can quickly be overcooked.
• When you use the warm program Keep Warm/
Cancel|37, the pressure is released slowly.
• If you use a cooking program without pressure, steam
release is unnecessary. When you open the lid|5, be
careful of the hot food and hot surfaces.
• If the pressure indicator|23 does not sink down, de-
spite there being no steam and no pressure escaping
the pressure indicator may have become dirty and
stuck. If this happens, press down gently on the pres-
sure indicator using a pen, chopstick or similar.
Fast steam release
1. Stop the cooking process and pull out the mains
plug|16.
2. Press down carefully on the pressure valve
button |2until it clicks into place, in order to open
the pressure valve|1. The pressure is released from
the Multi-Pot. This will cause hot steam to es-
cape!
3. Check that the pressure indicator|23 has sunk down.
4. Hold down the release button|24 while you turn the
lid|5clockwise until the arrow marking|6points to
the marking |19.
5. Carefully remove the lid|5in an upward direction.
Slow cooling
When the device is in standby (display shows OFF) or
whilst the warm program Keep Warm/Cancel|37 is
running, pressure will be released slowly and automatical-
ly. How long the cooling process takes depends on the
quantity of food, and can take up to 15 minutes.
1. Allow the Multi-Pot to cool until the pressure indica-
tor|23 has sunk down.
NOTE: you can speed up the cooling process somewhat
by placing a cold, damp (but well wrung-out) towel over
the lid. If you do this, first pull out the mains plug|16.
2. Hold down the release button|24 while you turn the
lid|5clockwise until the arrow marking|6points to
the marking |19.
3. Carefully remove the lid|5in an upward direction.

8.7 Markings in the pot / filling
volumes
DANGER!
~When pressure cooking (with closed pressure valve|1):
fill the pot|7only
to the maximum filling level (marking
in pot max 2/3),
as boiling water may otherwise spray
out. If you are preparing food such as rice or dried
vegetables, which swell up during the cooking pro-
cess, do not fill the pot|7past halfway (marking in pot:
1/2).
WARNING Risk of material damage!
~The device must never be operated when empty, in or-
der to avoid overheating.
When pressure cooking (with closed pressure valve|1), en-
sure that there is never too much or too little water in the
device. Please note the markings inside the pot|7.
-max. 2/3: this is the maximum filling level with which
it is permitted to operate the device.
-1/2: this marking indicates the half filling level of the
pot|7. It is not permitted to fill up with liquid for rice
and similar swelling foods above and beyond this
marking.
- Always place at least 250 ml of liquid (water, broth
etc.) in the pot|7.
8.8 Using the steamer insert
DANGER! Risk of injury from burning!
~The steamer insert|13 becomes hot during use. Wait
until it has cooled down before removing it from the
pot|7, or use potholders or oven gloves.
In order to cook food in steam (e.g. using the function
Steam/Veggies|32), you can place the steamer in-
sert|13 in the pot|7. You only place a little water in the
pot|7, so that the mesh is above the water level. You place
the food on the mesh. This should not be touching the wa-
ter.
The handles fold out upwards to facilitate placement and
removal. The handles can be folded down for space-sav-
ing storage.
9. Preparations before each
use
DANGER!
~The safety contact|21 in the middle of the heating
plate|8must be clean and move freely in order to

10.Cooking with the Multi-Pot
DANGER!
~Please note that the inside of the base unit|17 must re-
main clean and dry.
DANGER! Risk of injury from scalding!
~Ensure that no body parts (e.g. hand or arm) are
above the pressure indicator|23 when steam escapes
from it.
~Do not open the Multi-Pot while it is pressurised. Please
take note of the chapter “Opening lid safely (while
hot)” on page 12.
DANGER! Risk of injury from burning!
~Parts of the surfaces of the device become very hot
during operation. During operation, only touch the de-
vice on the operating panel|10 and handles|3+|20.
After operation, only grip the pot|7 using
potholders or oven gloves.
NOTES:
• Familiarise yourself with handling the Multi-Pot before
you start cooking (see “Handling of the Multi-Pot” on
page 11).
• The basic procedure is described in the following. For
some programs there are differences, which you can
find in the chapter “Overview of functions” on
page 10 and the description of the individual cooking
programs (see “Individual cooking programs” on
page 16).
10.1 Preparing the cooking process
1. Prepare the foods as described in the recipe, and
place them in the pot|7.
Please take note of the chapter “Markings in the pot
/ filling volumes” on page 13 and the information in
chapter “Individual cooking programs” on page 16.
2. Wipe down the outside of the pot|7if necessary. It
must be clean and dry.
3. Place the pot|7into the base unit|17.
4. Place the lid|5and lock it, such that the arrow mark-
ing|6points to the marking |9. The locking
mechanism will click audibly.
5. Close/open the pressure valve|1using the pressure
valve button |2.
- For pressure cooking, the pressure valve|1must be
closed.
- For cooking without pressure, the pressure valve|1
must be open.
6. Plug the mains power cable|16 into the port|18 in
the base unit|17. Plug the mains plug into a suitable
wall earthed wall socket. The wall socket must still be
easily accessible after the device is plugged in.
7. As soon as the device is connected to the power sup-
ply, the display|29 will show OFF. The device is in
standby mode.
10.2 Cooking times
Cooking times depend on the freshness and quality of the
food, the size of the pieces, and personal preference (al
dente or well done).
To transfer the cooking times from conventional recipes to
cooking with the Multi-Pot, apply the following rules of
thumb:
- When cooking at high pressure (pressure level
High|54), the cooking time is reduced by approx.
half.
Example:
A recipe calls for a cooking time of 90 minutes. At
pressure level High|54, for the Multi-Pot this means:
1/2 of 90 min. = 45 minutes.
- When cooking at low pressure (pressure level
Low|56), the cooking time is reduced to approx. two
thirds.
Example:
A recipe calls for a cooking time of 90 minutes. At
pressure level Low|56, for the Multi-Pot this means:
2/3 of 90 min. = 60 minutes.
- When cooking without pressure (pressure valve|1
open), the cooking time remains the same.
NOTES:
• Further notes on cooking times can be found in chapter
“Individual cooking programs” on page 16.
• If you use larger quantities than indicated in the cook-
ing time tables, the cooking times can be extended as
required. Normal household portions can generally be
cooked without extension of the cooking times.
10.3 Setting cooking program and
starting
NOTE: the cancel button Keep Warm/Cancel|37 al-
lows you to cancel the settings or a running program at any
time.
1. Press the desired program button. The LEDs above the
