CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING YOUR STIR TOWER

CLEANING YOUR FLIP-AND-STIR ATTACHMENT

Remove the Stir Tower from the

Multi-Cooker before cleaning.

• Allow Stir Tower and accessories

to cool completely before cleaning.

• Wipe the outside of the Stir Tower with

a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal

scouring pads. They could scratch

the surface.

• Stir Tower arm features a nonstick

ceramic coating for easy cleaning.

The ﬂip-and-stir wand and side scraper are

dishwasher durable, but handwashing in

hot, soapy water is recommended.

After cooking recipes with strong odors,

it may be necessary to deep clean the ﬂip-

and-stir wand and side scraper in a baking

soda solution to remove any residual odors.

cooking pot. Add 50 g baking soda

and mix well.

• Immerse the ﬂip-and-stir wand and side

scraper in the baking soda solution for

12 hours. Rinse well with warm tap water.

TIPS AND TRICKS

• For most food preparation, use the ﬂip-

and-stir wand only for best performance.

When preparing larger quantities (near

the MAX FILL line), or for foods like

soups and stews, add the side scraper

to help mix and circulate foods.

• For stirring risotto (Arborio) rice, it is

recommended to stir at least 2–4 cups

(380–760 g) of rice to get the best

ﬂipping and stirring performance.

• Flip-and-stir wand is designed to stir/

ﬂip/incorporate 3–4 cups (0.75–1.0 L)

of ingredients at a time.

• Use of the Stir Tower is not

recommended when preparing

smaller quantities of lighter or delicate

ingredients such as mushrooms.

• The ﬂip-and-stir wand is ideal for

preparing foods ingredients such as

onions, carrots, broccoli, potatoes

(cubed), meatballs (2-3 oz./40-60 g

each), small to medium shrimp, and

sliced or cubed meats and poultry.

ﬁnger under to lift it (see image), then
