light coating of cooking oil and insert it evenly into the groove in the cover.

Important Guidelines:
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARD—Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking
foods that expand during cooking such as rice or dried vegetables, do not
fill the unit over 1/2 full. Over filling may cause a risk of clogging the vent
pipe and developing excess pressure.
• Never heat an empty pressure cooker.
• Before you begin cooking, refer to the Cooking Times chart for the
suggested cooking times and cooking levels for the food you are
preparing.
• pressure-cooking is not suitable for the preparation of apple compote,
cranberries, porridge, barley or other cereals (except those listed in the
Cooking Times chart), peas, pasta, macaroni, or rhubarb.
• Never allow the pressure cooker to boil dry.
• If you have a problem while cooking, remove the utensil from the heat
source, release the pressure, and allow the utensil to cool.
• Always stir salt until it is completely dissolved. To avoid damage to the
stainless steel, do not store salt water, heavily salted foods, or highly
acidic foods in the pressure cooker.
Cooking with Your Pressure Cooker
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARD—This appliance cooks under pressure.
Improper use may result in scalding injury. Make certain unit is properly
closed before operating.
Your pressure cooker is intended for cooking foods with the addition of water
and is especially useful for those that normally require long cooking times, such
as:
• Soups
• Meats
• potatoes and other vegetables
• Rice and beans
• Dried legumes
1. Add food and liquid to utensil. Cover and begin cooking over medium-high
to high heat. preheating is not necessary.
2. As the food begins to heat, air in the pressure cooker will escape through
the pressure release valve causing the valve cap to rise which will close the
pressure release valve.
3.
Continue to cook until the first red ring becomes visible on the valve stem.
