3. It is common for some steam to release through the Bobber Valve during the cooking
cycle. This is part of normal operation of the unit.
Note: The Multi-Cooker cannot pressure cook without liquid. Ensure a minimum of 250ml
of liquid is used inside the removable Cooking Pot.
Caution: During cooking, steam will build up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the lid
use an oven glove to protect your hands.
RELEASING PRESSURE AT THE END OF COOKING
A. Natural Pressure Release Method: After cooking cycle is complete, let Multi-Cooker
naturally release pressure through the Bobber Valve. Unit will gradually cool down
on its own. Wait at least 10 minutes after cooking has completed. If using a higher
volume of food and liquid, this can take up to 20 minutes. And then, using a kitchen
utensil, gradually flick the tab on the Steam Release Valve to the “Release”
position (see Figure 2). Do not place any part of your hand or body over the steam
outlet on top of the valve, as steam is very hot and can scald skin. The pressure has
been released when steam is no longer escaping from the valve and the Lid opens
freely with minimal force. Only then is it safe to remove the Lid and serve food.
B. Quick Pressure release method should be used with caution: Using a kitchen utensil,
gradually flick the tab on the Steam Release Valve to the “Release” setting (see
Figure 2). Steam will release rapidly from the Steam Release Valve. Do not place
any part of your hand or body over the steam outlet on the top of the valve, as steam
is very hot and can scald skin. Use this method with caution when cooking liquid
ingredients such as casseroles, soups, stocks, beans and pulses. Never use this
method when cooking rice, as rice tends to be very delicate. The pressure has been
released when steam is no longer escaping from the valve and the Lid opens freely
with minimal force. Only then is it safe to remove the Lid and serve food.
CAUTION:
1. Do not force the Lid to open. If it does not open easily this means that the Multi-
Cooker is still under pressure.
2. During cooking, steam will build up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the Lid use a
kitchen glove or mitt to protect your hand.
SLOW COOKING
LOW Setting: This is suitable for simmering and slow cooking. Recommended cooking
times in LOW are from 6 to 8 hours.
HIGH Setting: This is for faster cooking. Recommended cooking times in HIGH are from
2 to 4 hours.
KEEP WARM Setting: When cooking time is completed, the Multi-Cooker automatically
switches to the KEEP WARM setting to prevent overcooking and to keep your cooked
food warm until serving - perfect for busy families, those on the run and those who need
