Usage notes
- Extender ring increases volume capacity to 15 US quarts / 15 litres
- Purchasers report actual manufacturer can be difficult to locate / contact
- Some purchasers report lack of success at cooking larger pieces of meat from frozen
- “What I noticed was a buildup of grease and grime on the inside heating cover which covers the fan blades” [1]Amazon Customer Review, December 2012, https://www.amazon.com/review/R3C80ZRKYRUYJ1/
- Halogen bulb is not replaceable, when it burns out, that’s it.
- Do not force timer button
- Lettering can wear off the dials quite quickly. Some people advise putting clear tape over the lettering to protect it;
- Do not leave soiled fry pan in the machine, the moisture can rust it;
- “The safety tab on the handle is fragile if you do not pull it in before you set the handle” [2] Amazon Customer Review, October 2012, https://www.amazon.com/review/R332NHJRA0L6Z7/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B0045Z4PIE
- Purchasers report that baking can be an issue, with the tops of baked goods burning well before the insides are cooked. Some suggest it takes experimentation to get it right.
