• Clean the upper ring with a damp cloth.
• Rinse the inside of the lid including the sealing gasket pressure limit valve, air escape and float valve. Dry them
off thoroughly before placing them back.
• Clean the cooking pot and the accessories in the dishwasher

.
Do not use a scourer to clean the pot
as this can damage the non stick coating in the pot.
• To clean the gasket supporting cover, separate the gasket supporting cover from the lid. To do this, take a hold
of the knob on the lid and pull the sealing gasket upwards. Once clean, place the gasket and gasket supporting
cover back in their original position

Cancel button
• Users can reset the function or cancel the timing setup anytime by pressing the
button during cooking or operation

.
Pressure cooking
• Once pressure has built up in the appliance, the float valve will rise. The double
safety lock in the lid is then activated and the lid will not be able to be opened
during cooking. Never attempt to open the lid during pressure cooking.
•
Steam cooking is only possible when using the High and Low Pressure
cooking settings.
• When using the pressure cooker for the first few times, you may notice slight
leaking from the pressure level indicator and the sealing gasket. This is normal and
will occur when pressure builds up.
• Some leaking from the pressure valve opening may also occur during cooking.
• It is normal for a small amount of steam to escape during cooking (as the valve is
a safety valve).
Keep Warm
• Once the cooking cycle is completed, the appliance will automatically switch to Keep Warm.
• Maximum duration for Keep Warm is 12h.
• In the Keep Warm setting
, condensation may build up in the upper ring.
This is normal.
• After 12h, the appliance will go to stand by and the LED display will show
.
• To avoid any bacteria from developing, do not use the Keep Warm setting with
foods that cannot be stored at an ambient temperature i.e. meat, fish, dairy
products and eggs…
Removing the lid
• Place the pressure valve on
to release the pressure
- fig. 15
.
Keep your hands
away from the pressure limit valve when releasing steam.
• As the pressure limit valve may be hot, we recommend using a kitchen utensil like
tongs or a wooden spoon to lift the valve.
• Unplug the power cord
- fig. 16
.
• To remove lid, take hold of the handle, turn it clockwise and lift the lid
