Before using your Instant Cuisine 18L, ensure it is placed on a stable, level surface with at least 13 cm (5 inches) of clearance on all sides.

Product overview
The unit includes several accessories to enhance your cooking experience:
- Air fry basket: Perforated for airflow, ideal for air frying and roasting.
- Oven rack: Used for toasting, baking, and general cooking.
- Cooking pan: Best for messy foods like chicken tenders or roasted vegetables.
- Reversible grill/griddle plate: Provides flexibility for grilling or searing.
Control panel
The control panel features a dial for navigation and selection, along with buttons for Start, Cancel, and Oven Light. Smart programs include Air Fry, Bake, Roast, Broil, Warm, and Toast. The display shows temperature, time, and status messages like On (preheating), turn Food (reminder to flip), and End (program finished).
Cooking
To cook, select a smart program, adjust the time and temperature if necessary using the dial, and press Start. The unit uses convection cooking for efficient results. Note that because the oven is highly efficient, you may need to reduce cooking times and temperatures compared to traditional recipes. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure food reaches safe internal temperatures.
Care, cleaning and storage
Clean the appliance and accessories after every use. Unplug the unit and let it cool. The cooking pan, air fryer basket, oven rack, crumb tray, and grill plate are dishwasher safe. The cooking chamber should be wiped with a damp cloth and a mixture of baking soda and vinegar for stubborn stains. Never immerse the main unit in water.
Troubleshooting
If the unit does not turn on, check the power connection and outlet. If black smoke appears, stop cooking immediately, unplug the unit, and clean the heating elements and accessories. Error codes E1 through E7 indicate a sensor error; contact Customer Care if these appear.
