3. What is the default time?
Each cooking mode has a default time
that appears as soon as you select a desired
program button. Before the timer on the LCD
Display begins counting down, the appliance
must first reach the proper pressure and/or
temperature for that mode.
4. How long does it take for the Unit to reach
full pressure and for the cook time clock
to start a countdown?
When the Unit reaches the desired cooking
pressure, the LCD Display will change color
from orange to red and the cooking time will
begin counting down. The time required
to reach the desired pressure setting depends
on the volume, concentration, and ratios of solid
to liquid in the Unit – generally 5–40 mins.
5. Can you change the cook time from
the default setting?
Yes! You can change the cook time two ways.
Select LOW, MED, or HIGH. These
are preprogrammed settings that will give
a predetermined time. Alternatively, select
the Time Button to adjust the cooking time
to suit your needs.
6. Can you leave the Unit on while not at home?
The Power Quick Pot has a delayed start
function, but leaving the Unit on while not
at home is not recommended.

defrosting?
Yes! Remember to add an average of 10 extra
mins. to the cooking time when cooking frozen
meals.
8. Can I cook with oil in the pressure cooker?
No! Do not attempt to pressure fry in
the Power Quick Pot. The Unit does not have
safety measures to prevent oil fumes
and fire. Pressurized oil fumes are very
dangerous and can cause an explosion.
