1. Never load inner pot above the MAX line. Rotate the inner pot to make certain
that it is seated properly in the exterior pot. Don’t use the hard objects to
knock the Inner Pot.
2. Always be certain the pressure valve is free floating and clear of any
obstructions.
3. Steam and pressure must be released completely from the cooker before the
Lid will open.
4. After use, remove any foreign objects from the silicon gasket and Anti-Block
Shield.
5. Keep the Silicon Gasket clean to avoid odor.
6. Never pull the silicon gasket by force, as the pulling may cause deformation
and affect its function in sealing the pressure.
NOTE
SAFE LID OPENING
Make sure the pressure cooking program has completed or press “Warm/Cancel”
key to turn off the program.
Releasing pressure in one of the following ways.
1.Quick Release:
Turn the Pressure Valve handle to the “Venting” position to let out steam until the
float valve drops down.
2.Natural Release:
Allow the cooker to cool down naturally until the float valve drops down. This
may take up to 15 to 40 minutes, or even more, depending on the amount of
food in the cooker. Place a wet towel on the lid to speed up cooling. After
cooking is finished, turn OFF Keep Warm mode if it is turned ON.
DO NOT open the lid until pressure inside the pot is completely released.
As a safety mechanism, until the float valve drops down, the lid is locked
and cannot be opened.
If the Float Valve is stuck due to food debris or stickiness, you can push
it down with a long stick or pen when you are certain the pressure has been
released by moving the Pressure Valve handle to the venting position.
CAUTION
Please keep hands and face away from the hole on the top of the Pressure Valve
when using Quick Release. The escaping steam is very hot and can cause scalds.
During pressure releasing process, protect your skin by avoiding any contact with
escaping steam or the stainless steel portion of the Lid. Press down gently on Lid
and turn clockwise until Lid meets resistance. Lift carefully and place aside. Avoid
personal injury resulting from hot unit surfaces and dripping liquids.
For food in large liquid volume or starch content (e.g. porridge, congee), use
Natural Release instead as thick liquid may splatter out.
CAUTION
