6. PREHEATING THE APPLIANCE
Once you have assembled the Cooking, with the correct tray for your recipe, you are ready to start
using the Cooking.
For optimum results, always preheat the unit completely before using.
• Plug the unit into a suitable mains socket.
• Although the plates / pans have a non-stick coating, we recommend that you prepare the
plates / pans with cooking spray or oil. If using oil, apply with a paper towel or pastry brush.
• Turn the temperature control dial to the desired setting for cooking:
Low, Medium or High. (Fig. 4)
N.B. Adjust the temperature according to the food. For example, when using the Cooking as a
grill, use high heat for searing meats, but low heat on more delicate foods such as prawns or
vegetables.
• When the dial is in place, a red light will illuminate on the front of the appliance to indicate that
the power is on and the appliance is heating up.
• Once the appliance has reached the optimal temperature, the green light will illuminate to
indicate the appliance is ready to cook.
N.B. It may take up to 10 minutes to reach the selected temperature, depending on the
temperature level that was set. Use the glass lid when pre-heating, as this will help speed up the
heating time.
Refer to the Cooking Function Guidelines Chart and Steaming Chart on pages 15 and 16 for
recommendations.

temperature of the grill plate or cooking pan, the contents of the pan and other factors can all
aff ect heat-up time.
• Always use non-stick utensils. Metal utensils may damage the non-stick coating.

Cooking Tips

• Use the cooking pan to brown and sauté. Brown / sauté as you would in a skillet or sauté pan on
the stove – this is the fi rst step in many braised or slow-cooked dishes.
• For even browning, it is important not to crowd the pan. Foods should be cooked in an even layer
on the bottom of the pan, so it is good to cook foods in batches, when necessary.
• Many recipes call for browning and sautéeing before cooking. Some items produce more grease
and fat than is desirable in the fi nished dish. To remove excess grease, using oven gloves, very
