Time Delay Function
Manual Pressure Cooking
This Multi-Cooker allows you to delay the
start of your cooking so that cooking finishes
when you need it.
• Adjust the Multi-Cooker settings using the
instructions on pages 11-20.
• After setting the cooking time, press the
DELAY TIMER button. The DELAY TIMER
and START/STOP buttons will flash, and
“0:30” will flash on the Display Screen,
to indicate the Multi-Cooker is being
programmed on the delay setting.
• Press the + and - buttons until you reach
the number of hours and minutes you want
the cooking process to be delayed (i.e., set
the amount of time you wish to delay the
cooking cycle). The maximum delay is 4
hours.
• Press START/STOP button to begin the
delay feature. The timer and DELAY TIMER
button will stop flashing, while the START/
STOP button will continue flashing. This will
indicate that the Multi-Cooker has been set
on the DELAY TIMER setting. The Display
Screen will countdown the delay time until
0:00 is reached. When 0:00 is reached,
the DELAY TIMER light will turn off and
the START/STOP light will stop flashing to
show that time delay has finished. The word
“HEAT” will appear on the display screen
until the Multi-Cooker is fully pressurised.
When the selected pressure has been
reached, the timer will start counting down.
Example:
It’s 4pm and you want to have a soup cooked
and ready in 2 hours’ time for dinner at 6pm.
You want to set the machine now so you are
free to do other things.
The pre-set function (if unchanged) will cook
for 30 minutes at HIGH pressure. Time to gain
pressure varies according to humidity and
water temperature, but let’s assume it takes
15 minutes to gain pressure. Therefore total
time is 45 minutes. To have the soup ready
by 6pm, you will need to delay the start of
your cooking by approximately 1 hour and 15
minutes.
1. Press SOUP
2. The Display Screen will flash “0:30”
3. Press the DELAY TIMER button and set for
“1:15”
4. Press START/STOP
* If you have a pressure recipe that requires
a manual setting — or if you simply
want to pressure cook using your own
pressure setting and cook time — then
select MANUAL PRESSURE and adjust the
pressure and cook time as desired. (See
the Cooking Guide on page 15 to find the
possible time and pressure adjustments.)
Note:
The DELAY TIMER function is not
available on the BROWN/SEAR, SAUTÉ,
KEEP WARM, BOIL, SIMMER or YOGHURT
settings.
Note:
Do not use the DELAY TIMER function
when the recipe has perishable ingredients
such as meat, fish, eggs, or dairy, as these
may spoil.
