8. Ensure the pressure release valve is placed
on the lid, is properly seated in position and
facing the lid knob.
9. Press the START/SELECT dial to
commence cooking. The STOP/CANCEL
button backlight will illuminate red,
the LCD screen will illuminate orange,
’PREHEATING’ will appear and the
pressure bar on the left will climb to
indicate the cooker is building pressure.
NOTE
It is normal for the cooker to release small
bursts of steam as it stabilises its internal
pressure.
10. If the lid has not been locked correctly
‘LOCK LID’ will appear on the LCD screen.
Turn the lid knob clockwise to lock the lid
and commence cooking.
11. Once the cooker has reached pressure,
the “PREHEATING’ will go out, the cooker
alert will sound, the timer will start counting
down and the pressure bar will stop
climbing, indicating the current pressure in
the vessel.
12. The time can be adjusted during the
pressure cook cycle by turning the TIME
dial. The cycle can be paused at any time
by pressing the STOP/CANCEL button.
To end the cycle press and hold STOP/
CANCEL for 2 seconds. If there is already
pressure in the vessel it will go immediately
to the steam release cycle.
13. At the end of the pressure cook cycle, the
cooker alert will sound and steam will be
automatically released through the pressure
release valve. The steam icon will blink,
the timer will start counting up and the
pressure bar will decrease, indicating the
current pressure in the vessel.
If NATURAL steam release is selected,
pressure will naturally subside in the vessel
without forcing steam through the pressure
release valve. The steam release setting can
be changed during the steam release cycle
by pressing the STEAM RELEASE button.
14. At the end of the steam release cycle,
the cooker alert will sound, the LCD will
illuminate blue and the timer will start
counting up.
15. Open the lid by turning the lid knob
counter clockwise and carefully lift the lid
into the hinged open position.
16. After 5 minutes of inactivity, standby
mode will be activated. The button
backlight will go out and the LCD will
no longer illuminate.
CAUTION
To avoid scalding from escaping steam, never
place your face or hands over the cooker when
removing the lid.
NOTE
If the lid will not unlock this indicates the
appliance is still under pressure. Do not
force the lid open as any remaining pressure
can be hazardous.
Press the STEAM RELEASE button until
all internal pressure is released and the lid
opens easily.
