½
line. This includes both the rice/
beans and water.
2. Make sure to put the inner pot into the electric cooker unit.
3. Close the lid.
4. Turn the lid counterclockwise until you hear a clicking noise and see the triangle and
gumdrop are lined up in the close position.

Operating Instructions
PRESSURE COOK
1. When using the pressure cooker setting you must make sure the pressure valve is
set to airtight. This will cause the cooker to build up the necessary pressure to
cook more quickly. When the cooking function has ended you can decide to allow
the pot to naturally depressurize (this can take a long period of time) or release
the pressure by turning the valve to exhaust. Caution must be take not be near the
releasing steam.
2.
High Pressure:
You can select to pressure cook at a high pressure setting. The
high pressure setting will allow the pot to cook your food within a quicker time
under a high pressure cooking condition. Use of this setting is determined by
what the food ingredients you have decided to cook.
3.
Low Pressure:
You can select to pressure cook at a low pressure setting. The low
pressure setting will allow the pot to cook your food within a less rapid cooking
time than under a high pressure cooking condition. Use of this setting is
determined by what the food ingredients you have decided to cook and how
rapidly you want to cook them.
