NOTE: Always check to make sure that the rubber gasket and the pressure regulator

1. Plug the pressure cooker into the wall outlet.
2. Place the removable cooking pot inside the pressure cooker. Then place food inside
it. Always use 1 cup (8 oz) of liquid when cooking on this setting.
3. See Diagram on right. Place the lid on the pressure cooker
and turn it counter-clockwise until it locks in place. You will
hear the locking pin click into place.
4. Turn the pressure regulator knob located on the lid of the
appliance to PRESSURE.
5. Next, select the desired cooking mode by pressing on the
HIGH or LOW button on the control panel, located on the front of the appliance. The light
on the selected button will flash and the digital display will show 00:01 for 1 minute of
cooking time.
6. Keep pressing the button until you reach the desired time. You can also press and
hold the button.
7. When the time is set, press the START/STOP button to start the cooking process. The
indicator light will stop flashing. To cancel or reset, press the START/STOP button again.

the digital display will go back to a default display of 00:00 after 30 seconds.
9. The digital display will enter a waiting mode (the first 2 digits of the display will move).
The display will continue to show the entered cooking time until the right amount of
pressure is reached, depending on the amount of food and liquid used. It will not count
down right away.
10. When the pressure is reached, the Floating Valve will rise and the cooker will begin
counting down the minutes.
11. Once the cooking time has elapsed, you will hear a series of periodical beeps.
The pressure cooker will automatically enter a WARM function.
12. The beeping will continue until the Floating Valve drops and unit no longer detects
any pressure. To manually drop the valve, perform the
Quick Pressure Release

when removing the lid. Keep your face away from the cooker as steam will escape
as soon as the lid is opened.

STEAM AND DROPLETS OF WATER WILL BE EJECTED. QUICK PRESSURE RELEASE SHOULD NOT BE
PERFORMED WHEN PRESSURE COOKING STEWS, SOUPS, OR ANY OTHER RECIPE THAT INVOLVES LARGE
