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.
