PRESSURE COOKER
After 10 seconds of uninterrupted interaction, three beeps will
be emitted and the word “On” will appear. 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 will begin
counting down in one minute increments. 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.
