The Express Easy Release 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 21).
• Once the pressure increases, the Lid cannot
be opened. Safety sensors ensure the
pressure remains within the set range. Never
force the Lid open.
• The Steam Release Dial is located on the
front of the Lid, designed to keep the hand
away from the Steam Release Valve when
releasing pressure. The Steam Release Valve
is designed to be loose-fitting for proper
operation. See RELEASING PRESSURE
Instructions on page 13.
• 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 24.
• 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 13.
• 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 TEMP/PRESSURE button is used
to select desired cooking temperature
or pressure (HIGH or LOW). The Display
Screen will illuminate TEMP or PRESSURE,
depending on which setting is being adjusted.
• The temperature may only be adjusted on
the SLOW COOK, YOGHURT, BOIL, SIMMER,
and BROWN/SEAR or SAUTÉ functions (see
the Cooking Guide on page 15 for available
adjustments).
• Each pre-set pressure cooking function
automatically selects the optimum pressure
for that selection, but it can be manually
selected with the TEMP/PRESSURE button
(see the Cooking Guide on page 15 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”.
* The Status Bar tracks the pressurisation
progress when using a Pressure function,
and the preheat progress when using a
Traditional function before cooking begins.
