Ideal Meals to Pressure Cook: Soups, stocks, casseroles, sauces (e.g.,
pasta sauces), meat, rice, firm vegetables (beetroot, potatoes) and
desserts (e.g., pudding).
Capacity:
Never fill the Cooking Pot above the MAX line. Foods that
expand during cooking should never go above the 1/2 mark. The Pressure
Cooker cannot pressure cook without liquid. Ensure a minimum of 8oz of
liquid is used inside the removable Cooking Pot.
CAUTION:
Never use the Quick Pressure Release Method when cooking
foods high in liquid content, such as casseroles, stocks and soups. See
RELEASING PRESSURE instructions on pages 11-12.
Place the Pressure Cooker on a flat, level surface.
Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug the Pressure Cooker into
a wall outlet. The Pressure Cooker will beep, and the Display Screen will
illuminate with four dashes (- - - -).
1. Place your food and liquid inside the removable Cooking Pot.
2. Place the Lid onto the Pressure Cooker and align with To lock,
rotate counterclockwise to the
LOCKED
position.
3. Using the finger tab, rotate the Steam Release Valve to the “Seal”
position.
4. Scroll the
FUNCTION KNOB
to select the desired cooking function
5. Adjust the cooking time and pressure if necessary.
Note:
See the Cooking Guide on page 15 to find the possible time and
pressure adjustments
6. Once you have made the desired adjustments, if any, tap-touch
START
for more than 1 second.
7. The Pressure Cooker needs to gain pressure before pressure cooking
can begin. When the Pressure Cooker is gaining pressure, “HEAt”
will appear on the Display Screen and the time will not count down.
The amount of time the Pressure Cooker takes to gain pressure varies
according to humidity and water temperature, but average
pressurization time is 13-15 minutes. When pressure has been
reached, “HEAt” will disappear on the Display Screen, and the time will
begin to count down.
8. After the set cooking time has elapsed, the Pressure Cooker will beep
and will automatically switch to the
KEEP WARM
setting. The Display
Screen will therefore change from the cook time to a new timer that
will count up to 4:00 (4 hours) or until you press the
START/STOP
button. After 4 hours in the
KEEP WARM
setting, the Pressure Cooker
will go into stand-by mode, and the Display Screen will illuminate with
four dashes (----).
