INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! You are about to learn how to cook and prepare
delicious, home made meals in a fraction of the time it normally takes,
without sacrificing flavor or nutrition. Your Programmable Pressure
Cooker is quick, safe and easy to use. And best of all, it can shorten the
traditional cooking time of most foods by up to 70 percent.

1. Your Programmable Pressure Cooker cooks like a traditional Pressure

Cooker by combining steam heat and pressure for faster cooking
times. Since an air tight seal is formed when the Lid is closed and
locked, the heat and steam stay trapped inside the Removable
Cooking Pot. As the steam builds and the pressure rises, the cooking
temperature will get as hot as 250º F, which is 38º F hotter than when
food is cooked in a standard pot with liquid. This combination of high
heat and pressure cooks the food faster while retaining water soluble
nutrients and flavor.

2. Your Pressure Cooker takes the guesswork out of cooking

under pressure. A built-in Thermostat knows exactly when low
or high pressure is reached inside the Removable Cooking Pot
and automatically adjusts the heat and triggers the timer to
begin. These computerized functions eliminate the need to
make heat adjustments.

3. The 1200 watt Heating Element allows for quick heating and for

maintaining even cooking temperature and pressure.

4. The large, 6-quart capacity, heavy-duty, non-stick, aluminum

Removable Cooking Pot heats up quickly and evenly.

5. The Programmable Pressure Cooker has a BROWN MODE that

allows you to sauté or brown food in the Removable Cooking Pot
before cooking under pressure.

6. The

Quick Steam Release

Feature allows you to release

pressure with the simple push of a Button. Press this

RELEASE

Button in short bursts to prevent ejection of hot liquid along
with steam.
