the time will begin to count down. The cooking time is indicated on the digital display. If you wish you can
manually change the default time using the “+” and “-” buttons. The cooking time is manually adjustable
depending on the function selected.

This is completely normal, it does not affect the food being cooked and will disappear after a few uses.
NOTE:
If the gasket is cracked or broken do NOT use it in the pressure cooker. Contact the customer
service and replace with a new gasket and assemble on aluminum cover as shown.
Delay Time
• Before selecting the cooking function press the DELAY TIMER key to add a cooking time delay. The delay
timer can be adjusted up to a maximum delay time of 2 hours. Continue to press the button until the desired
time delay is reached. The amount of time until the unit begins cooking will be displayed on the screen.
• Once the delay has been selected use the CONTROL PANEL to choose the desired cooking setting (i.e. rice,
soup, chicken, etc.), then press the DELAY TIMER to select the function. The cooking will begin once the time
delay has elapsed.
• Please note that once the cooking time has counted down, the time may not be adjusted. If more or less
cooking time is required. The cooking process must be cancelled and the timing must be reset to the
required/desired time.
• During set up and while cooking the “Keep warm/cancel” button can be pressed to cancel cooking.
• After cooking the unit will automatically engage “Keep Warm” mode. The “Keep warm/Cancel” button can be
pressed to cancel keep warm mode.
• Once the unit has completed the cooking cycle or the display has turned off before opening and removing the
lid, turn the pressure release valve to the PRESSURE RELEASE position as indicated on lid. Ensure that your
face and hands are away from the opening of the pressure release valve to ensure that you do not get burnt or
injured, the steam is very hot therefore extreme caution must be exercised when steam is being released.
• When cooking liquid foods such as soup or porridge wait for the unit to cool down before pressure is released.
• Switch off the appliance at the wall socket and remove the plug from the wall socket.
• Once all pressure has been released and the plug has been removed from the wall socket and there is no
longer any steam escaping from the steam release valve, the lid may be turned clockwise to be unlocked.
• When removing the lid, remove it in such a manner that the steam is directed away from you. Do this by
allowing the top of the lid to face your direction, the steam will deflect against the inner surface of the lid.
Ensure you are positioned to the side of the unit without your face or hands over it. Use an oven glove
when removing the lid to reduce the chance of coming in contact with steam.
• Only use non-stick utensils to serve from the cooking pot as any hard utensils made from stainless steel
or similar materials could damage the non-stick surface of the inner cooking pot.
