NOTES & TIPS #6:
•
NATURAL RELEASE is recommended when cooking foods that will not have the
tendency to overcook such as Potatoes, Beans, Soups & Stews. During the
Natural Release time period (may take 10-15 minutes), the pressure cooker may
still be heated and cooking the food slightly.
•
QUICK RELEASE is recommended when cooking foods that you wish to be
Medium or Medium-Rare such as Beef Roasts or Lamb. This will release the
pressure quickly and prevent the food from over-cooking.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.)
HOW TO USE THE SET
PRESSURE COOK TIME
BUTTON:
Setting your own cook time is ideal for cooking meat or poultry that weighs
more than 3-pounds. It is also suggested for slow-cooking certain recipes
that require cooking for more than 30-minutes. The programmed cook time
can be set up to 99-minutes.
1)
Prepare desired food and place into cooking pot (6).
2)
Secure the lid (1) onto the unit, turn it Counter-clockwise to lock it
properly in place.
3)
Make sure the Pressure Limiting Valve(3) is set to the
“
Airtight
”
position.
4)
Plug the power cord into a 120V power outlet.
5)
The LED screen will display 0.0 00.
6)
Set the desired cooking time by pressing the PRESSURE COOK TIME
button. Each push of the Pressure Cook Time button will increase the
cooking time by 1 minute or hold the button down for rapid increase of
time. The maximum amount of time allowed is 99 minutes.
7)
For example, if you set the PRESSURE COOK TIME to 18 minutes, the LED
screen will display 0.0 18.
8)
Press the START button to start cooking, the indicator light for
PRESSURE COOK TIME will stop blinking and the display will show T TP.
When proper pressure is achieved, the LED screen will display P0 18 (As
an example, we've set the cooking time to 18 minutes) and the cook-
time will begin to count down to 0.
(Note: The LED screen will not immediately display a P until the proper
pressure has been achieved. This may take up to 5-10 minutes).
9)
When cooking is complete, the pressure cooker will beep 6 times and
automatically switch to KEEP WARM. The LED screen will display END.
10)
The KEEP WARM indicator light will begin blinking and the Pressure
Cooker will begin naturally releasing the pressure. (See Notes & Tips
#6). This will take approximately 10-15 minutes. Once all pressure has
been released the KEEP WARM indicator light will turn solid.
