After making a “Quick Cook” selection, the word “
On
” will continue
to blink for 10 seconds.
During this period, you may use the
Time Adjust
button to
increase or decrease the default cooking time, if needed, to better
adjust to the amount of food being prepared. With each press of
the Time Adjust button, the red indicator light toggles between
Less
,
Default
,
More
.
Refer to the Time Adjust Chart below for default cooking times
for each mode. (Time is listed in minutes)
After the time adjustment (if desired) is entered and 10 seconds
have elapsed, three beeps will be emitted and the word “
On
” will
remain solid and no longer blink. The cooker is now pressurizing.
Pressurization may take a few minutes depending on the food
contents.
Note:
You may hear a series of clicks during the pressurization
process. This is completely normal and does not indicate a
malfunction.
Once the cooker is pressurized, the cooking time duration will
appear on the display. It is normal for a small amount of steam to
escape from the exhaust valve. It is also normal for the float valve
to rise since pressure is building inside the cooker.
After cooking is complete, the cooker emits 10 beeps indicating the
cooking process has finished. The cooker automatically reverts to
Keep Warm
mode (140-176 F°), and the word “
Hot
” also appears
on the display screen.

Opening the Cooker
When cooking large amounts of food, wait a few minutes after cooking is complete prior to
opening the cover. The cooker must be depressurized before opening. Use one of the following
depressurization options:
• Speed depressurization occurs by turning the exhaust valve to
the left or right. Hold the exhaust valve in place until all steam is
released from the cooker. Wear a protective mitt and use extreme
caution, as the steam is very hot and may cause injury.
• Natural depressurization occurs as the cooker and food contents cool. The cooker is
depressurized when the red float valve has fallen to be level with the cover.
