C. Pressure Cooker Base: 

The stainless steel Base holds the Inner Pot, houses the 

pre-programmed Control Panel, and is locked with the EasyGrip Lid during pressure 
cooking. The Mini Cup is attached to the side of the Base. 

1. 

Pressure Cooker EasyGrip Handles. 

Use the handles when transferring the 

Base or when positioning the Lid into place for pressure cooking. Whenever the 
Pressure Cooker is in use, protect hands from hot surfaces by using potholders 
or oven mitts.  

2. 

Pre-programmed Control Panel.

  Holding the “brains” of the Pressure Cooker, 

the Control Panel contains the LED Display and all Auto Modes, Methods and 
Preset functions.  Refer to the section of this Guide titled, “Pre-programmed 
Control Panel” for specific information.

3. 

Mini Cup. 

The small clear cup collects any condensation water that 

accumulates during the cooking process. It is included in your package and 
attaches easily to the upper lip of the Base.  

D. Accessories: 

To make pressure cooking even easier, you’ll find a Stainless Steel 

Steaming Rack, Measuring Cup and Plastic Spoon included in this package.  

 
E. Lid Rest Handle: 

Your 8 Quart Gourmia pressure cooker features a lid rest handle that 

can easily hold the lid without making a mess on the countertop. 
 

F. Pressure Safety Fail-Safe System: 

 This system includes the Pressure Release Valve. 

It prevents the lid from opening when unsafe pressure levels are present. The Pressure 
Release Valve in this system will drop and the Lid will turn to unlock when safe to do so.
