Safety valve:
Located under the lid
handle. Safety valve is activated in case
of an excess pressure build up.
11. Thermo Heat Conductive Base:
Since the objective of a pressure
cooker is rapid cooking, the bottom of
the pressure cooker pot has a thermo
heat conductive base comprised of
three layers of metal. Aluminum, one of
the fastest heat conductors, is
sandwiched between two sheets of
stainless steel, which makes contact
with the burner and does not contain
any magnetic elements. This allows for
induction cooking.
12.
Pressure Indicator:
Indicates whether
there is pressure inside the cooker.
If the pressure indicator is raised,
there is pressure inside the
cooker and the pressure cooker
cannot be opened. If the pressure
indicator is not raised, there is no
pressure inside the cooker.
13. Stainless Steel Steamer Basket: The
u Cook Pressure Cooker Set also comes
with a stainless steel steamer basket. It
is used for steaming foods under pres-
sure without placing them directly in the
cooking liquid. The steamer basket
rests on the inner ridge of the 6 qt pres-
sure cooker pot for easy steaming and
also doubles as a handy food grater!
14.
Pasta Basket:
The stainless steel
Pasta Basket is used along with the
glass lid and the 6 qt pressure cooker
pot to convert the pressure cooker into
an everyday pasta pot when not being
used for pressure cooking.

Getting started
1. When using the cooker for the first time,
wash all the parts and components with
warm water and mild dish washing
soap. Rinse well and towel dry. Never
place any of the parts or components in
the dishwasher.
2. Always remove the silicone gasket
when washing the lid. Wash the gasket
with warm, soapy water; rinse well and
towel dry. Cover with a thin coat of
cooking oil (i.e. vegetable, olive,
canola, etc) Follow this procedure
every time you wash the pressure
cooker in order to extend the life of the
gasket and to facilitate locking the lid in
place.
3. Use the operating valve to select one
of the two levels of pressure you will
be using during the pressure cooking
time. When using the cooker for the
first time, the operating valve is pla-
ced on the high level of pressure –
Level 2. To open the pressure cooker,
pull the pressure lock towards you
and move the lid handle to the right
holding the base handle with your left
hand. (fig 4)
