TIP:
1. The pressure cooking settings are in the Cooking Guide table on
page 15.
2. If the lid is not shut correctly or if the Steam Release Valve is not in
the “Seal” position, the Pressure Cooker cannot gain pressure and a
NOTIFICATION message will appear in the Display Screen. Ensure
that the Sealing Gasket is placed evenly in the lid. See the
NOTIFICATION CODES chart on pages 25.
3. It is common for some steam to release through the Bobber Valve during
the cooking cycle. This is part of normal operation of the unit.
Note:
The Pressure Cooker cannot pressure cook without liquid. Ensure a
minimum of 8oz of liquid is used inside the removable Cooking Pot.
CAUTION:
During cooking, steam will build up in the Pressure Cooker, so
when lifting the Lid use a kitchen glove or mitt to protect your hand.
BOBBER VALVE
When Bobber Valve is in the “UP” position, DO NOT attempt to open the
Lid, as the Pressure Cooker is still under pressure. When the Bobber Valve
is in the “DOWN” position, the pressure has released.
RELEASING PRESSURE AT THE END OF COOKING
A. Natural Pressure Release Method: After cooking cycle is complete, let
Pressure Cooker naturally release pressure through the Bobber Valve.
Unit will gradually cool down on its own. Wait at least 10 minutes after
cooking has completed, and then, using a long handled kitchen utensil,
flick the tab on the Steam Release Valve to the “Release” position. Do
not place any part of your hand or body over the steam outlet on top of
the valve, as steam is very hot and can scald skin. The pressure has
been released when steam is no longer escaping, the Bobber Valve
has dropped completely, and the Lid opens freely with minimal force.
Never force the Lid open.
