INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You are about to learn how to cook and prepare
delicious, home made meals in a fraction of the time it normally
takes, without sacrificing flavor or nutrition. Your FARBERWARE
®
Programmable Electric Pressure Cooker is quick, safe and easy to
use. And best of all, it can shorten the traditional cooking time of
most foods by up to 70%.
• Your Programmable Electric Pressure Cooker cooks like a tradi-
tional Pressure Cooker by combining steam heat and pressure for
faster cooking times. Since an air-tight seal is formed when the Lid
is closed and locked, the heat and steam stay trapped inside the
Removable Cooking Pot. As the steam builds, so does the cooking
temperature which will get as hot as 250˚F, which is 38˚F hotter
than when food is normally cooked in a regular cooking pot with
liquid. This combination of high heat and pressure are what
causes the food to cook faster, while retaining water soluble
nutrients and flavor.
• Your FARBERWARE
®
Electric Pressure Cooker is programmable.
It has a built-in Thermostat and Timers which eliminate
unnecessary guesswork as far as adjusting the heat to maintain
pressure or clocking the cooking time as you would do when
cooking with a traditional pressure cooker on a stove top burner.
• The 1200 watt Heating Element allows for quick heating and for
maintaining even cooking temperature and pressure.
• The large, 6 quart capacity, heavy-duty, non-stick, aluminum
Removable Cooking Pot heats up quickly and evenly.
• The FARBERWARE
®
Programmable Electric Pressure Cooker has a
BROWN Function that allows you to sauté or brown food in the
Removable Cooking Pot before cooking under pressure.
• The Quick Steam Release Feature allows you to release pressure
with the simple push of a button. Only press this Release in short
bursts until pressure is reduced, as HOT liquid may be ejected.
• The STEAM Function heats cooking liquid in the Removable
Cooking Pot to a boil in a matter of minutes for steaming an end-
less variety of foods like vegetables and shellfish as well as rice.
• The software is incorporated with a CANCEL Feature for both
COOK TIME and DELAY TIME during setup. If it becomes
necessary to cancel or reset the time before cooking has begun,
simply press the COOK TIME and START/STOP Buttons
simultaneously to reset the Cook Time to "01"; or press the DELAY
TIME and START/STOP Buttons simultaneously to reset the Delay
Time to "00."
• The KEEP WARM Function holds and keeps cooked food warm for
an unlimited period of time.
• The sturdy, brushed stainless steel and molded, Cool-to-the-Touch
Housing of your FARBERWARE
®
Programmable Electric Pressure
Cooker is both attractive and functional.
