USING THE MENU SELECT BUTTONS:
There are 5 Menu Buttons that are pre-programmed. They are BEANS, CHICKEN, RICE, MEAT, and
SOUP. The default times are preset for quick and easy cooking for small portions of food. (When
cooking food that is more than 3 lbs or more than 6-cups, use the Timed Cooking function). Each of
these choices is programmed to detect the weight of food being cooked and how much liquid is inside
the pot during the cooking cycle. The unit will automatically build up the pressure, cook the food and go
to Keep Warm mode when cooking is complete.
NOTE
: Pressing a Menu Button once will automatically select the default cooking time. Each additional
press of the selected Menu Button will increase the cooking time by 1-minute increments until the
maximum allotted time for the Menu Function is reached. Once the maximum cook time is reached,
pressing the Menu Button again will reset the cooking time to the default/minimum setting.
*
NOTE
: The Rice Menu Button can also be used as a PRESSURE COOK TIME BUTTON. By
pressing the Rice button 3 times each, it will enter into PRESSURE COOK MODE where each
incremental press of the button thereafter will increase the cooking time by 1 minute, up to 99 minutes.
Hold the button down for rapid increase of cooking time.

Brown and Slow Cook Features:
These are NON-PRESSURIZED functions. Use the Brown
function to sear meat WITHOUT THE LID prior to selecting one of the other functions. Use the Slow
Cook function WITH THE LID (similar to a crock pot) to prepare food up to 10 hours (5 hours by default)
