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 21).

•   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 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 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 TEMP/PRESSURE 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 14 for available adjustments).

•   The TEMP/PRESSURE button is used to 

select desired temperature (HIGH or LOW). 

The temperature may only be adjusted on 

the SLOW COOK, YOGURT, BOIL, SIMMER, 

SAUTÉ and BROWN/SEAR functions (see 

the Cooking Guide on page 14 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”.

Things to know about your Express Crock

Note: 

The timer can be selected for all 

programs and can be changed at any time 

during cooking by pressing START/STOP and 

selecting a new function.

Note: 

Glass Lid can be used as an 

alternative to standard Lid for these 

non-pressure functions only.
