Steam that is formed when preparing the meals exits the multi-cooker via the steam outlet, thereby preventing the formation of excess pressure. Depending on the model, the steam outlet is fitted with a viewing window.

Increasing or reducing the temperature during preparation

If the current temperature was set too high or too low during the preparation, this can be increased (by +10°C max.) or decreased (by -10°C max.) accordingly during the cooking process.

To increase the temperature, press and hold the ♂ button. The current temperature will be briefly shown on the display and will then increase in 1°C increments until the maximum value is reached (+10°C). Press and hold the button until the temperature is at the increased level desired.

To reduce the temperature, press and hold button ♂. The current temperature will be briefly shown on the display and will initially increase in 1°C increments until the maximum value is reached (+10°C).
