Installing the condensation collector
− Install the condensation collector
14
onto the side of the base unit
11
(see
Fig. D
). It collects and holds the extra condensation during cooking.
Connecting to power
1. Insert the connector end of the power cord
15
into the power outlet
13
of
the pressure cooker.
2. Connect the plug of the power cord to a wall outlet.
A beep sound can be heard and “0FF” can be seen on the display
21
once
the pressure cooker is powered. The pressure cooker is now in the standby
(OFF) mode and ready for use.
Safety devices
The pressure cooker is equipped with the following safety devices for safe
pressure cooking.
• Float valve
1
: It checks the inside pressure of the pressure cooker. While
pressure is building up, the float valve pops up and locks the lid
4
. When
the float valve pops up, never attempt to open the lid of the pressure cooker.
When the float valve has dropped back down to its original (down) position,
the pressure cooker is no longer under pressure. The lid can then be
opened.
• Pressure regulator
3
: Turning the pressure regulator to the “Exhaust”
position will release the extra pressure in the pressure cooker for safe
opening of the lid when cooking is done. Use a tool (e.g. a long wooden
spoon) or protect your hands with oven mitts to turn the pressure
regulator. This will avoid getting your hand in contact with hot steam
which may cause injury.
• Anti-blockage vent: The steam vent in the lid is specially designed to
prevent food debris from blocking it.
• Lid position sensor: The sensor monitors whether the lid is at a safe position
for pressure cooking.
• Automatic temperature control and monitoring: It regulates the cooking
temperature and avoid food burning based on the selected cooking mode.
• Pressure controller: It keeps the cooking pressure always in the safe range
(e.g. through releasing excess pressure).
• Electrical current and temperature fuse: It cuts off power if the current or
internal temperature of the pressure cooker exceeds the safety limits.
