to heat. If you accidentally press the wrong setting or time, simply press „
Cancel
“ and reset the
cooker.
High pressure is suitable for most foods.
Use low pressure for delicate foods such as fish and some vegetables.
HOW TO USE FOR PRESSURE COOKING
Before you begin cooking, review the “
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR EVERY USE
” instructions and
always verify that the unit is properly assembled.
1
Place the pressure cooker on a dry, level surface. To avoid steam damage to cabinets, position
the cooker so the air vent/cover lock and quick pressure release valve are not directly under
cabinets.
2
Put the top lid on the pressure cooker and rotate it until the “
LOCK
” mark is aligned with the
symbol
.
3
Push the quick pressure release valve onto the vent pipe and point the lever to the “
COOK
”
position
1 Blue air vent/cover lock in up position
2 Steam out
3 Cook
4
Select the appropriate preset button on the control panel for the type of food you are cooking.
Adjust the cooking time as necessary or, if preferred, select „
PRESSURE
” and manually set the
cooker.
5
As the unit is heating, air will automatically exhaust around the air vent/cover lock. You will hear
this venting. When pressure begins to build, the blue air vent/cover lock will slide up, locking the
cover on. Once the unit is at pressure, the timer will start to count down.
6
During cooking you may notice some steam releasing from the quick pressure release valve. This
is normal.
7
It is also normal for the heat to cycle on and off during cooking to control the pressure in the
cooker.
8
When the cook time has expired, the unit will beep 10 times and automatically switch to the
„
Keep Warm
“ mode.
9
You will know the pressure is completely reduced when the blue air vent/cover lock drops.
10
When the pressure drops completely or you turn it down to „
Steam Out“
, carefully turn the
upper lid counterclockwise until the mark with the symbol
is aligned.
11
Lift cover straight up and, while still holding the cover over the cooker, angle it 90 degrees so
residual liquid drips into the pot.
CAUTION!
Steam may escape and hot liquid may drip from the cooker cover when removing it.
Steam and hot liquid can cause burns.
12
When cooking is complete, unplug power cord from wall outlet and then from pressure cooker.
13
Allow cooker to cool completely before cleaning.
