OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY FEATURES
1. LID-LOCK PROTECTION
•
The appliance will not start pressurizing until the lid is closed and locked properly. The lid cannot be
opened if the appliance is pressurized.
2. FLOAT VALVE PROTECTION
•
When the lid is closed with enough pressure inside the inner pot, pressure will push the float valve
up. Once pushed up, the pin of the float valve serves as latch lock to prevent the lid from opening,
even under force.
3. PRESSURE LIMIT VALVE
•
The pressure limit valve will release air automatically when the pressure inside exceeds the preset
temperature (90Kpa).
4. ANTI-BLOCKAGE VENT
•
This appliance features a specially structured anti-blockage vent shield to prevent obstruction of the
steam release by food particles during the cooking process.
5. AUTOMATIC PRESSURE CONTROL
•
The pressure sensor mechanism keeps the operating pressure between 50kPa-70kPa.
6. HIGH TEMPERATURE WARNING
•
When operating without water or moisture, pressure will not build up inside the pot. Overheating and
excessive temperature may build in such situations, causing issues like missing inner pot, inner pot
not in proper contact with heating element, or inner pot having heat dissipation problem, and more.
Under such conditions, the appliance will stop heating when the temperature is over a certain limit
and sound alarm.
7. EXTREME POWER PROTECTION
•
This appliance is equipped with a special fuse which disconnects power at excessively high
temperatures, ranging from 169° C ~ 172° C, and extremely high-power surges which is deemed
unsafe
8. DISORDERLY CONTROLLER PROTECTION
•
When the controller is out of order, the electric pressure cooker can’t working normally.
9. PRESSURE REGULATOR PROTECTION & EXCESS PRESSURE
PROTECTION
•
If the pressure exceeds 200kPa, the steam release will be pushed up to allow steam to escape and
reduce the pressure inside the pot.
•
If the pressure becomes too high and the pressure regulator protection malfunctions, the appliance’s
internal protection mechanism will activate, shifting the inner pot downwards to create a gap between
the lid and the inner pot. Heating will cease and steam will be released from the gap into the internal
chamber.
10. ANTI-SKIDDING FEET
•
Prevents the body from skidding during operation.
TIMER
•
Touch the timer button, timer light will illuminate and LED display will read 0:30 to denote half an hour
timer. Touch Timer button to increase timer time. Each touch will increase 30 mins. Maximum Timer
time is 24 hours. Choose preset time before or after selected desired function. The appliance will
begin cooking after the set desired time is elapsed.
PRESSURE COOKING TIME
•
Default cooking time for this function is 1 min. Adjust cooking time by touching "+" / "-" button.
Adjustable pressure cooker time is from 1 – 99 mins. (This flexible function allows cooking any food
by manually adjusting suitable cooking time)
NOTE:
"+" / "–" button is only available for "Pressure cooking Time" function.
•
After selecting function, touch the START button to begin the cooking process, otherwise the
appliance will keep flashing instead of cooking.
•
Screen display time is the pressure preservation time only, not entire cooking cycle time. Timer will
only begin countdown after operating pressure is achieved (when "keep pressure” light is displayed,
cooker will begin countdown)
KEEP WARM/CANCEL
•
Automatic Keep Warm:
When LED display shows "bb", the appliance will automatically shift to keep
warm temperature. The Keep Warm light will illuminate and beep to indicate that the cooking is
complete.
NOTE:
Do not use the “Keep Warm” setting for more than 12 hours. The food quality or texture will
change after 1 hour on Keep Warm. In the Keep Warm setting, a little condensation in the upper ring
is normal.
•
Cancel:
Reset the function or cancel the timer setup at any time.
TO REMOVE THE LID
•
When pressure cooking cycle is finished, the unit will automatically switch to “Keep Warm” position.
There are two (2) ways to release pressure - Natural pressure release, or Quick pressure release.
The choice will be indicated by the particular food being cooked.
•
Natural Pressure Release:
Allow the unit to remain on “keep warm”. The pressure will drop and
pressure drop time will depend on the amount of liquids in the pressure cooker and the length of time
that pressure was maintained. Natural pressure release will take from 12 to 30 minutes. When
pressure is fully released, the float (pressure indicator) will drop and the lid will unlock to open.
•
Quick Pressure Release:
After cooking is completed, a series of beeps will indicate that the process
is finished. Turn off and pull the handle of the pressure limit valve forward
(Picture 7).
Do not touch with hands. Use tongs. Steam will immediately escape through the
valve. Keep face and hands away from steam as it is released, and do not
release pressure under hanging cabinets, which can be damaged by steam.
•
When pressure is fully released, the pressure indicator will drop and the lid will
unlock to open. Using Quick pressure release stops the cooking process immediately.
