Using Your Appliance.
Removing the Inner Pot:
To remove the inner pot from the unit, lift up the cover, grip the drawer by its handle and
pull it up and away from the main body of the unit until it detaches.

Installing and Removing the Splash Guard:
This unit comes complete with a splash guard, to help protect the top of the appliance
while cooking.
1. To install the splash guard, slide it gently into its corresponding slot underneath the
unit's lid, then fasten the rear tab to the clip at the back of the lid and push it upwards
until it clicks into place.
To remove the splash guard, use a finger to lift the clip at the front of the lid, then,
with the clip still pushed up, pull one of the other tabs towards you to release the
splash guard, as shown in the figure below. Once the splash guard has been released,
carefully pull it out of its slot in the body of the unit until it is fully detached.
CAUTION! Always allow the splash guard to cool down fully before attempting to
remove it.
Note: Remove the splash guard from the unit after every use.
Installing the Inner Pot:
Note: Always ensure the inner pot is installed and firmly secured into place before using
the unit.
To install the inner pot, simply place it inside the appliance, ensuring the ident on the pot
is aligned with the corresponding notch in the body of the unit.
Note: When using the unit in Grilling mode, take care to place the grilling plate over the
top of the inner pot before starting the cooking process.
Turning the Appliance On and Off:
1. Once the splash guard has been correctly installed, plug the unit into the mains and
press the Power On/Off button to turn it on. There will be a sound prompt and the
unit's LED screen will come on to indicate the unit has been turned on.
Press the Power On/Off button at any time while the unit is in operation to turn it off.
The unit will stop working, and the LED screen and all indicators will go out to show
the unit has been turned off.
Starting the Cooking Process:
1. Once the unit has been turned on, press the Start/Stop button to start the cooking
process. The unit will begin to pre-heat, and the LED screen will display ‘PRE’ to show
this process is under way.
Note: The unit will normally take 3-4 minutes to pre-heat, depending on the cooking
mode selected.
Note: Though highly recommended for ideal results, the pre-heating process can be
manually skipped when in Bake, Roast or Air Fry mode. To skip the pre-heating process
when cooking in these modes, press the corresponding key on the unit's control panel
while the unit is pre-heating. The unit's LED display will show the ‘Add Food’ prompt to
indicate pre-heating has been skipped.
Note: In Dehydrate mode, the unit will not need to pre-heat, and the cooking process will
begin directly after the mode is selected.

When the unit has finished pre-heating, the LED screen will display ‘ADD FOOD’, to
indicate the unit is ready to cook. Lift the lid, insert the required food into the unit,
close the lid, and press the relevant setting button on the unit contro! panel to
choose the desired cooking mode. The corresponding indicator will light up and
the cooking time will begin counting down on the unit's LED display, to show the
cooking process has been started.
Press the Start/Stop key again while the cooking process is under way to pause it, and
again when cooking is paused to resume it.
The Temp ACE Functionality:
This unit is equipped with a smart Temp ACE functionality, which automatically detects
the ideal cooking temperature for each ingredient with the help of a temperature probe.
1. To use the Temp ACE functionality, begin by pressing the corresponding key on the
unit's control panel. The corresponding indicator will light up to show this function
has been activated.
Using the Temperature Probe:
The unit comes complete with a temperature probe, to be used in conjunction with the
Temp ACE functionality.
1. To use the temperature probe, begin by choosing the desired cooking mode and
setting the cooking time and temperature, as detailed in the relevant sections below.
2. Once the correct settings have been programmed, plug the temperature probe into
the corresponding socket on the right-hand side of the control panel, taking care to
ensure the cord is not kinked
With the probe in place, open the unit's lid and place the relevant ingredients inside,
ready for cooking.
Once the ingredients are in place, press the Start/Stop key to begin the pre-heating
process, as described above. While the unit is pre-heating, insert the temperature
probe into the thickest part of the largest protein item, in a horizontal position, as
shown in the figure below.

Correct placement of probe Correct placement of probe Incorrect placement of probe
Note: The probe will not provide accurate readings unless placed into the item correctly.
DO NOT insert the probe into the item vertically or at an angle.
Note:VWhen measuring the temperature of meat or fish, the probe should be placed close
to, but not touching the bone.
Note: When using the Temp ACE setting and temperature probe to select cooking
temperatures, food should be allowed to rest inside the unit for approximately five
minutes once the cooking time elapses. This is because, in this cooking mode, the inner
temperature of food steadily rises as it is left to stand, ensuring the ingredients are fully
cooked throughout. The table below shows the recommended Temp ACE and carry-over
temperatures for a variety of common ingredients:
FOOD SET TEMP ACE TO (°C) ALLOW FOOD TO CARRY-OVER COOK TO (°C)
Fish 60 65
Poultry 75 75 or higher
Pork 65

FOOD SET TEMP ACE TO (°C) ALLOW FOOD TO CARRY-OVER COOK TO (°C)
Beef: 50 52

. 55 58
Medium Rare 60 65
Medium
Medium Well 6s 66
Well Done 70 72
Ground Pork 70 72
Ground Turkey 70 74,
The probe can also be used to measure the inner temperature of ingredients, even if
no cooking program has been selected. To do this, insert the probe into the food, as
detailed above, then press the Temp ACE button for approximately two seconds. The inner
temperature of the food will be displayed on-screen for about five seconds.
Note: If the Temp ACE function is accidentally triggered, press any function keys, the
unit will resume regular operation. If the unit is entered preheat mode after pressing
start /stop key, press power on/off key to cancel the Temp ACE function.
To turn off the probe function, press the Power On/Off button. This will reset all settings,
including the Temp ACE function.
