Pressure Adjustment Button
When a specific cooking program is selected, the unit will display the
default time in the LED window and the
“ Pressure Adjustment : Low, Medium, or High ”
indicator below the LED window will light. Should your recipe or personal taste require
“ Medium ” or “ High ” results, you may select those options by pushing the Pressure
Adjustment button. For “ Medium ” indicator light for Low and Medium will light; for “ High ”
all 3 indicator lights Low, Medium, and High will light. Please refer to the “ Program Settings
Table ” section for details.
When the LED displays 00:00 and the unit beeps, cooking is complete. Do not attempt to
open the lid immediately as the pressure is very high in the cooking pot. Only after the float
valve drops and pressure has released, should the lid be opened.
To release pressure rapidly turn the pressure valve forward to the “ Vent ” position. Do not
touch the pressure valve with your hands- use tongs or another tool.
(See picture 17)
CAUTION MUST BE USED WHEN RELEASEING THE PRESSURE TO PREVENT BURNING.
If cooking liquids (soups, stews, etc.), it is best to let pressure release naturally to avoid hot
liquid erupting through the steam vent.
Care and Cleaning
CLEANING THE SAFETY DEVICES: In addition to the Lid Liner, the other safety devices on the
Pressure Cooker must also be cleaned after each use.
THE PRESSURE VALVE: To remove the Pressure Valve, simply pull up and valve will release from its
spring lock mechanism. Apply mild detergent and wash it under warm running water. After cleaning,
check to see that the interior spring-loaded part moves freely by pressing down on it. Put the
Pressure Valve back in place by pushing it down onto the spring-loaded mechanism. This appliance
requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to
repair it yourself. Contact customer service for qualified repair information.
TO CLEAN: After use, unplug unit and allow to cool completely before cleaning. The Pressure Cooker
must be cleaned thoroughly after each use in order to avoid staining caused by a build-up of food or
cooking residue, and to ensure that the safety devices operate correctly.
