1. Pressure Regulating Knob:
Turn the knob to the “Pressure” position when
cooking under pressure or using the rice cooking function. Turn the knob to
the “Steam” position to release the pressure after pressure cooking or when
using the slow cooker or warm functions. Turn the know to “Clean” and pull
up while turning to remove the knob for cleaning.
2. Self-Locking Pin:
The lid will lock automatically when you slide it in place.
While cooking under pressure you will not be able to open the lid until all of
the pressure is released.
3. Cool-touch
handles:
The cool to the touch handles of the cooker allows for
easy handling and opening of the pot.
4. Floating Valve:
The safety-floating valve controls the amount of pressure
inside the cooker by allowing excess pressure to be released.
5. Silicone Gasket:
Creates an airtight seal needed for the cooker to build up
pressure. Check the gasket for tears or cracks before using the pressure
cooking or rice cooking function.

The safety pressure valve allows excess pressure to
escape from the cooker when it is being used for pressure cooking. It works
independently of the floating valve.

Pull it towards yourself to release the pressure regulator
knob for cleaning.

cooking temperature inside the pot.
10. Removable Cooking Pot:
Aluminum pot with Teflon Classic non-stick
coating; dishwasher safe removable pot will make clean-up a breeze.

programs available with a touch of a finger. Available for selection are: two
pressure settings, two slow cook settings, brown and warm functions, and a
timer.
