GENERAL INFORMATION FOR COOKING UNDER PRESSURE
• An EPC (electrical pressure cooker) is an electric pan with an hermetic lid
and a special valve, that allows to cook the food under pressure, which
saves cooking time and makes the stiff foods soft.
• The following programs cook automatically under pressure: Quick Rice,
Porridge/Congee, Beef/Lamb, Chicken/Duck, Soup, Steam, Abalone. For
DIY function you will enter a cooking pressure state if you select at least
100°C, with the lid closed and locked.
• Once you have selected your program, the time to reach the pressure
will depend on the amount of food and liquids in the cooking pot. The
• Be aware that to use pressure cooking, there must be liquid in the cooking
pot and the temperature must be higher than a certain temperature
(between 100 to 120 degrees). Also the lid must be closed and locked.
If you don’t respect all those conditions, the appliance will start cooking
without pressure, at the selected temperature.
