Releasing pressure and cooling down
There are two ways:
1) Express cool down
Pull the pressure control valve upward to release steam rapidly (Picture 11). You can also put the
pressure cooker under cold running water for instant cooling (Picture 10). Then turn the turning
knob anti-clockwise to open the lid. If the lid cannot be open, pull the pressure control valve upward
to release the pressure inside the cooker and open the lid.
2) Natural cool down
Turn off the heat source and let the pressure cooker cool down by nature.
Open the lid
As soon as the pressure cooker cool off, turn the turning knob anti-clockwise and open the lid (Picture 12).
1) Please operate carefully and wear gloves to avoid burning.
2) Shake the cooker slightly to balance the food inside if you are cooking porridge or any other sticky
foods.
3) Do not turn the turning knob by force.
4) Do not open the lid with excessive force.
Attention
1) Before using, please check the vent pipe carefully to see whether blocked.
2) Make sure the safety valve is washed and cleaned as per the instructions. Do not change any parts
of the safety valve by self.
3) Do not change any components at will. Do not use non-original parts. Please contact the after-sale

Before using the pressure cooker for the first time
• Read this instruction manual carefully before first time use for safety. Especially the Safety rules.
• Fill the pressure cooker with ½ water, close the lid and heat the cooker until steam emitted from the
pressure control valve. Keep heating for 10 minutes after steam emitted from the pressure control
valve. This will remove the smell of new cooker.
• Open the lid after cooled, pour the water, wash and wipe this new pressure cooker and dry it
completely.
Normal operations
1) Make sure the vent pipe is not blocked. If there is a jam clean it by using a small stick. Make sure
the safety valve is clean. The sealing ring must be put on correct position.
2) The cooker must be filled with at least 1/4 L water or other liquids to make steam when using the
pressure cooker. The capacity of foods together with liquid should not more than 2/3 of the cooker's.
If the food is easy to spume, it must be less than 1/2 of the cooker's capacity.
3) Close the lid: place the lid onto the cooker body and put the
crossbeam under the ear of the body with same direction in one line.
Turn the turning knob clockwise till it can not be turned tight anymore.
The lid is well closed (Picture 9).
Heating
1) When moving and laying the pressure cooker, do not hold only the
middle knob. Hold the two side handles carefully.
2) Place the pressure cooker on a steady and stable stove.
3) To heat up rapidly, use strong fire till the pressure control valve works. Please pay special attention
on the fire it should not be too strong. After a while, when there is steam released from the pressure
control valve (count the heating time now), turn down the heat source so that only small amount of
steam come out, in this case the cooker works reasonably and save most energy. Turn up the heat
source when the pressure control valve stops releasing steam and otherwise, turn down the heat
source when there is too much steam.
Attention
• Don’t go away when cooking and watch carefully to make sure normal condition.
• Don’t touch the high temperature surface directly.
• Don't be too thick when cooking dense sauce.
• For safety, please strictly comply with the above mentioned rules to avoid the liquid is completely
steamed out and dry heat or block the pressure releasing device.
Turn off the fire
After heating, turn off the fire. Lay the pressure cooker for a while until there is no steam released
from the pressure control valve by pulling it up. This is also counted as cooking time. For cooking
time, pls refer to chapter 6.
For any abnormal condition during cooking, please turn off the heat source and put the cooker on the
ground and cool it down slowly with cold water. Check the case and identify the malfunction with below
causes and treatments.

Case
After heated shortly,
there is no steam
being released
although there is
steam sound whistled
from the pressure
control valve.
Steams coming out
from the safety valve
Steams overflowing
all around
Causes
• The pressure control
valve is blocked.
• The vent pipe is blocked
by leavings.
• The cooker is now dry
heated.
• The stove is declined.
• The vent pipe is blocked.

• Both the pressure control
valve and safety valve is
out of work.
• The sealing ring is not on
a proper position.
• The sealing ring is broken.
• There is some
unnecessary objects in
the sealing ring (Leavings
blocks the sealing ring)
• The lid is not completely
closed.
Treatments
• Clean the pressure control valve and
remove any non-necessary objects.
• Remove the leavings with a slender rod.
• Rapidly turn off the heat source and get
down the cooker from the stove. Incline
the pressure control valve to release the
pressure inside. Open the lid to check
internally for possible problems.
• Adjust the stove to be steady.
• Clean the vent pipe and remove leavings.
• Reduce the fillings inside and reheat.
• Use lower fire. Adjust the pressure
control valve to a right position.
• Check and clean the valves.
• Adjust the sealing ring to the proper
position.
• Replace a new sealing ring.

after filtering off the bubble.
- To keep coloury of meats, add more colored sauce to counteract fading by the high pressure steam.
- Turn down the heat source if the soup overflows.
6) Replacement
Sealing ring should be replaced once every one or two years. In case of any damage, crack or
crinkle please replace it immediately.
Attention: Never use substitute when you replace the components. Please contact the official service
