Possible Causes for the Problems Arising and Ways of Solving Them This chapter familiarizes you with the practical tips and solutions to some common problems you may experience when using the multicooker.

THE DISH IS UNDERCOOKED

Possible Causes Solving the Problem The lid of the device was either open or was not closed properly.

• Try to avoid opening the lid while cooking.

• Close the lid until it clicks into place. Make sure that the rubber sealing ring located on the inner side of the lid is not deformed or damaged in any way. Cooking temperature was not observed because the bowl and the heating element did not t tightly.

• There should not be any foreign objects between the lid and the housing of the device, remove if any.

Always make sure that the heating element is clean and ts tightly with the bowl before cooking.

• Wrong ingredients or settings were chosen.

• General proportions were not observed, the size of the ingre- dients was too large.

• Wrong time settings.

• Chosen recipe is not appropriate for the device.

We recommend using recipes adapted for the device. Choose proven recipes only.

Set the time and cooking program, choose ingredients, proportions, and their size according to the recipe. Steaming: the amount of water in the bowl is too little to provide enough steam. Use the amount of water recommended. If in doubt, check the water level while steaming. Frying: Too much oil was added.

• Frying ingredients add an amount of oil enough just to cover the bottom of the bowl.

• Follow recommendations given in the recipe while deep frying. Too much moisture inside the bowl. Do not close the lid of the device while frying unless specied in the recipe. Using frozen ingredients defrost and drain before frying. Cooking: the broth boiled away during preparation of foods with high acidity. Certain products need to be processed before cooking: washed, browned, etc. Follow recommendations given in the recipe. Baking (dough did not bake through): Proofed dough has reached the inner lid and covered the steam valve. Use a smaller amount of dough. Too much dough in the bowl.

• Take the baked product out of the unit, turn it over and place back. Bake until ready.

• Next time use smaller amount of dough.

THE DISH IS OVERCOOKED

Possible Causes Solving the Problem Wrong ingredients, size of ingredient cuts or time settings.

We recommend using the recipes adapted for your model. Try choosing proven recipes only.

• Set the time and cooking program, choose ingredients, proportions, and the size of ingredient cuts according to the recipe. The dish remained in the unit with the “Keep Warm” on for too long after it’s been cooked. We recommend using the Keep Warm function moderately. If your device features the function of disabling the Keep Warm in advance, use it to avoid the problem.

LIQUID BOILS AWAY DURING COOKING

Possible Causes Solving the Problem Milk boils away. Depending on the quality of milk used, it may boil away. To avoid this, we recommend using only ultra-pasteurized milk with the fat content of 2.5% or less. Dilute milk with water if needed.

Ingredients were not properly processed (washed poorly, etc.).

• Wrong general proportions or ingredients.

• We recommend using the recipes adapted for the device. Try choosing proven recipes only. Set the time and cooking mode, choose ingredients, proportions, and the size of cuts according to the recipe.

• Whole grains, meat, sh, and seafood need to be rinsed thoroughly before cooking.

Possible Causes Solving the Problem

The bowl was not properly washed after last use.

• Non-stick coating is damaged. Make sure that the bowl is clean and has no coating defects before cooking. General amount of ingredients is smaller than recommended. Use proven recipes, adapted for the device. Cooking time was too long. Reduce the cooking time or follow recommendations given in the recipe adapted for your model. Frying: oil was not added; the ingredients have not been stirred or turned over. Frying products add amount of oil enough just to cover the bottom of the bowl. Stir ingre- dients thoroughly while frying or turn over as required. Stewing: not enough liquid. Add more liquid. Avoid opening the lid while stewing. Cooking: not enough liquid (proportions were not observed). Follow recommended ratio of liquids to solids while cooking. Baking: the bowl was not greased before baking. Grease the bottom and sides of the bowl with butter or oil before baking (do not pour oil inside).

INGREDIENTS LOOSE THEIR SHAPE WHEN COOKED

Possible Causes Solving the Problem Ingredients have been over stirred. Frying foods, do not stir the ingredients more often than every 5–7 minutes. Cooking time was too long. Reduce cooking time or follow recommendations given in the recipe adapted for the device.

BAKED GOODS ARE OVERLY MOIST

Possible Causes Solving the Problem Improper ingredients causing excess moisture have been used (juicy fruits or vegetables, frozen berries, sour cream, etc.). Use ingredients according to the recipe. Try to avoid using ingredients causing excess moisture or use them in smaller amounts. Baked product has been left in the unit with the lid closed for too long. We recommend taking baked product out of the unit right after the baking cycle nishes or leaving it on the Keep Warm for a short period of time only.

BAKED GOODS DO NOT RISE

Possible Causes Solving the Problem Eggs and sugar were poorly whipped. Use proven recipes adapted for the device. Choosing, measuring, and processing ingredients follow recommendations given in the recipe. The dough stayed for too long before being baked. The our wasn’t sifted or the dough was poorly kneaded. Wrong ingredients. Wrong recipe. Certain REDMOND multicookers feature an overheat protection in “STEW” and “SOUP” programs. In case there is no liquid in the bowl, the device automatically interrupts the program and switches to Keep Warm.10 Table of Recommended Steaming Time for Various Products # Product Weight, g / pcs Water, ml Cooking Time, min 1 Pork/beef llet (cut into 1.5 cm cubes) 500 500 30/35 2 Mutton llet (cut into 1.5 cm cubes) 500 500 45 3 Chicken llet (cut into 1.5 cm cubes) 500 500 25 4 Meatballs/сгедуеы 480 (8 pcs) / 360 (3 pcs) 500 25/30 5 Fish llet 500 500 20 6 Shrimps (cooked, peeled, frozen) 500 500 5 7 Potatoes (cut into 1.5 cm cubes) 500 500 20 8 Carrots (cut into 1.5 cm cubes) 500 500 30 9 Beet (cut into 1.5 cm cubes) 500 500 40 10 Vegetables (frozen) 500 500 8 11 Eggs 3 pcs 500 12 Remember, that these are general recommendations only.
