USING THE STEAM FUNCTION
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. Add 8oz of water to the bottom of the removable Cooking Pot and insert
the cooking rack. Ensure water is just under the wires of the rack so
that food is not touching water.
2. Place your food on the cooking rack.
3. Place the Lid on and lock by rotating counterclockwise to the
LOCKED
position.
4. Using the finger tab, flick the Steam Release Valve to the “Seal”
position.
5. Scroll the
FUNCTION KNOB
and select
STEAM
function and adjust the
time and pressure as needed.
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. 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 turn
off.
TIP:
See the Steaming Chart on page 17.
CAUTION:
During cooking, steam will build up in the Pressure Cooker, so
when lifting the Lid use a kitchen glove or mitt to protect your hand.
