The Express Crock Multi-Cooker has been
designed with safety in mind and has
various safety measures.
• Pressure will not build if the Lid is not shut
correctly and has not sealed.
• Ensure Lid is in the completely locked
position and the is aligned with .
• Pressure will not build if the Steam Release
Valve has not been switched to the Seal “ ”
position.
• Over filling may cause a risk of clogging the
vent pipe and developing excess pressure.
• The gasket and the valves can be removed
for cleaning. (See page 19).
• Once the pressure increases, the Lid cannot
be opened. Safety sensors ensure the
pressure remains within the set range.
• The Steam Release Valve has an extended
finger tab, designed to keep the hand away
from the top of the valve. Always use a
kitchen utensil when operating this tab. See
RELEASING PRESSURE Instructions on page
11.
• The pressure cooking functions require liquid
to work. If the inside of the Cooking Pot
does not have enough liquid, an notification
will appear in the Display Screen. See
NOTIFICATION CODES chart on page 22.
• At the end of cooking, the Lid cannot be
unlocked until all the pressure is released.
This can be done using the Natural Pressure
Release Method or Quick Pressure Release
Method, explained on page 11.
• The Time Selection Buttons (+ and -) are
used to set the cooking time. To advance
slowly, simply press the + or - button and
release. To advance quickly, press and hold
the + or - button. If you have passed the
desired time, simply press the opposite
arrow button to return to the desired time.
• The PRESSURE ADJUST button is used
to select desired cooking pressure (HIGH
or LOW). Each pre-set cooking setting
automatically selects the optimum pressure
for that selection, but it can be manually
selected with this button (see the Cooking
Guide on page 13 for available adjustments).
• The TEMP ADJUST button is used to select
desired temperature (HIGH or LOW). The
temperature may only be adjusted on the
SLOW COOK, YOGURT, and BROWN/SAUTÉ
functions (see the Cooking Guide on page 13
for available adjustments).
• The START/STOP button starts and stops
a cooking function. It must be pressed to
change from one cooking function to another
after cooking has begun.
• The Display Screen shows how much longer
the food needs to cook from the selected
time in hours and minutes once the Multi-
Cooker is preheated. While the Multi-Cooker
is preheating, the display screen will show,
“HEAt”.
