Press FUNCTION, then turn the 

START/STOP dial to select PRESSURE. 

The unit will default to high (HI) pressure 

and a time setting of 2 minutes. Press 

START/STOP to begin.

5    

The display showing PRE and some steam 

release indicate pressure is building. When 

fully-pressurised, countdown will begin.

6  

When the countdown is finished, 

the unit will beep and display DONE 

before automatically switching to KEEP 

WARM mode, and begin counting up.

7  

Turn the pressure release valve to the 

VENT position to quick release the 

pressurised steam. There will be a burst 

of steam from the pressure release valve. 

When steam is completely released, float 

valve will drop and the lid can be opened.

NOTE:

  Time to pressure varies and may 

take up to 15 minutes.

GETTING STARTED PRESSURE 

COOKING

It is recommended that first-time users 

do the water test to familiarise themselves 

with Pressure Cooking.

1    

Place the pot in the cooker base and 

add 750ml of 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 

is in the SEAL position.

NOTE: 

 To reduce the risk of injury from  

unintended contact with hot foods, liquids  

and steam when pressure cooking, you must 

review and follow all warnings on pages 2-5. 

Failure to follow these safeguards increases 

your risk of experiencing a burn.

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.

NOTE:

 It can take upwards of 20 minutes 

to build pressure.

PRESSURISING

As pressure builds in the unit, the 

control panel will display PRE. Time to 

pressure varies based on the amount and 

temperature of ingredients as well as liquid 

in the pot. For safety, the lid will lock as 

the unit pressurises, 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.

GRILL

INSTALLING & REMOVING  

THE PRESSURE LID

Place the pressure lid on top of the unit with 

the   on the lid and the   on the base lined 

up evenly. Turn the lid clockwise until it locks 

in place. 
To unlock the pressure lid, turn it 

counterclockwise. Lift the lid at an angle to 

prevent splatter. Do not lift the lid straight up. 

NOTE: 

The pressure lid will not unlock 

until the unit is completely depressurised.

GRILL

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: 

 Press the KEEP WARM button if you 

would like to turn Keep Warm mode off.
