USE & CARE INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THE FIRST TIME
1. Before using the Programmable Electric Pressure Cooker for the
first time, wash the Removable Cooking Pot with warm soapy
water. Rinse off with clean water and towel dry. Wash the Self-
Locking Lid and Rubber Gasket with a clean, damp sponge or
cloth and warm soapy water. Wipe off with clean water and
towel dry.
2. Make sure the Rubber Gasket is seated properly around the
Lid. To ensure correct fitting of the Rubber Gasket, fill the
Removable Cooking Pot two-thirds full with water and run on
HIGH PRESSURE as described on page 11, Steps 3 to 8 for
15 minutes. Wait 15 minutes, then release pressure by pressing
on the Quick Steam Release Button in short bursts. The Pressure
Indicator will drop. Let appliance cool to room temperature.
Pour out the water. Rinse and dry the Removable Cooking Pot.
The Pressure Cooker is now ready to be used.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN COOKING EACH TIME
For best results, always check that the Pressure Regulator Knob,
Pressure Indicator, Steam Release Valve and Safety Valves are in
good working order and that there are no foreign particles blocking
the Valve openings on the underside of the Lid (see Care and
Cleaning Instructions, page 14, Step 7).
POWER SURGE PROTECTION FEATURE
This Pressure Cooker has a Back-Up Feature to prevent malfunction
in the event of power surges. If the Pressure Cooker is unplugged or
switched off, allow at least 30 seconds for the program to clear
before turning the unit back on.
NON-STICK SURFACE
Be sure to always use either plastic or wooden utensils so as
not to scratch the non-stick surface. Never use metal tongs,
forks, or knives as they can damage the coating on the
Removable Cooking Pot.
