Question
Solution
Power
My Pressure Cooker will not
turn on
Make sure outlet is functioning properly.
Check that the Pressure Cooker is plugged in.
Doneness of
food
My food was undercooked
Make sure you selected the proper cooking setting.
Make sure the Lid is properly placed and locked, and that
Steam Release Valve in “Seal”(closed) position.
Check the recipe to see that the proper pressure,
temperature, and time selection were made.
Be sure the power was not interrupted.
Make sure the Cooking Pot has enough liquid to create
desired steam and build pressure. Minimum of 8oz of liquid
should be used when pressure cooking. Never fill over the
“MAX” line.
My food was overcooked
Check that the proper pressure, temperature, and time were
selected.
Programming
Can I set a time for the
Brown/Sauté program ?
Because sautéing is a function that generally requires your
full attention this may not be necessary. However, if desired
a time can be selected.
Can I change the cooking
function, time or temperature
once the food is cooking?
Yes, to change the cooking function, tap-touch
CANCEL
and
select a new cooking function. Change the time and
temperature as required for the food. Tap-touch
START
again. The time and temperature can be changed at any
time.
Cooking
Can the Cooking Pot and Lid
be used on top of the stove or
in the oven?
The Cooking Pot and Lid are not oven safe. Neither can be
used on the stove or in the oven.
I stopped the cooking process
and changed pressure
settings, and now the
Pressure Cooker is preheating
again.
If a cooking cycle is stopped and a new one is started, the
Pressure Cooker may display “HEAt” until the new pressure
is achieved.
Steam
Steam is leaking out of the
Pressure Cooker
• It is normal for a small amount of steam to come out of the
Bobber Valve before the Pressure Cooker is pressurized.
• If steam is coming out from the perimeter of the Lid, the Lid
has not been closed and locked completely.
Lid
I am having trouble removing
the Lid.
There is a safety feature to keep Lid from being removed
while the Pressure Cooker is under pressure. Please make
sure to de- pressurize the unit by rotating the Steam Release
Valve into the “Release” (open) position. Refer to Releasing
Pressure section for further instructions.
