USING YOUR FOODI® 10–IN–1
5-QT. PRESSURE COOKER – CONT.
NATURAL PRESSURE RELEASE
VS. QUICK PRESSURE RELEASE
Natural Pressure Release:
Once pressure
cooking is complete, the pressure will start
to naturally release as the unit cools down.
During this time, the unit will switch to
Keep Warm mode. When natural pressure
release is complete, the float valve will
drop down.
Quick Pressure Release:
Use
ONLY
when
called for in a recipe. When cooking is
complete, the unit will switch to Keep
Warm mode. Turn the pressure release
valve to the VENT position to instantly
release pressure through the valve.
When quick pressure release is complete
the float valve will drop down. Even after
releasing pressure, some steam will remain
in the unit and will escape when the lid
is opened. Lift and tilt it away from you,
making sure no condensation drips into the
cooker base.
NOTE:
At any time during the natural
release process, you can switch to quick
release by turning the pressure release
valve to the VENT position.
PRESSURIZING
As pressure builds in the unit, the control
panel will display progress bar. Pressurizing
time varies, depending on the amount
of ingredients and liquid in the pot. As
the unit pressurizes, the lid will lock as a
safety measure, and it will not unlock until
pressure is released. Once the unit has
reached full pressure. The cooking cycle will
begin and the timer will start counting down.
FAMILIARIZING YOURSELF
WITH PRESSURE COOKING
In order to familiarize yourself with pressure
cooking, it is highly recommended for first-
time users to do an initial run.
1
Place the pot in the cooker base and
add 2 cups room-temperature water
to the pot.
2
Assemble the pressure lid by aligning
the arrow on the front of the lid with
the arrow on the front of the cooker
base. Then turn the lid clockwise until
it locks into place.
3
Make sure the pressure release valve
on the lid is in the SEAL position.
4
Press the PRESSURE button, the unit
will default to high (Hi) pressure. Set
the time to 2 minutes and press the
START/STOP button to begin.
5
The unit will begin building pressure,
indicated by the progress bar. The unit
will begin counting down when it
is fully pressurized.
6
When the countdown is finished, the unit
will beep, automatically switch to Keep
Warm mode, and begin counting up.
7
Turn the pressure release valve to the
VENT position to quick release the
pressurized steam. A quick burst of
steam will spurt out of the pressure
release valve. When steam is completely
released and the float valve drops down,
the unit will be ready to open.
INSTALLING & REMOVING
THE PRESSURE LID

the on the lid and the on the base lined
up evenly. Turn the lid clockwise until it locks
in place.
