Place the cooker on a flat, level surface.
Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug
the cooker into a wall outlet. The cooker will
beep, and the Display Screen will illuminate
with four dashes (- - - -).
• Place your food and liquid inside the
removable Cooking Pot.
• Place the Lid onto the cooker and align
with . To lock, rotate counterclockwise to
the LOCKED position.
• Rotate the Steam Release Dial to the “Seal”
position.
• Select the desired cooking function
• Adjust the cooking time and pressure if
necessary.
• Once you have made the desired
adjustments, if any, press START/STOP.
• The cooker needs to gain pressure before
pressure cooking can begin. When the
cooker is gaining pressure, “HEAT” will
appear on the Display Screen and the
time will not count down. The Status Bar
will illuminate to track the pressurisation
progress before cooking will begin. The
amount of time the cooker takes to gain
pressure varies according to humidity
and water temperature, but average
pressurisation time is 5-30 minutes. When
pressure has been reached, “HEAT” will
disappear on the Display Screen, and the
time will begin to count down.
• After the set cooking time has elapsed,
the cooker will beep and will automatically
switch to the KEEP WARM setting. The
Display Screen will therefore change from
the cook time to a new timer that will count
up to 4:00 (4 hours) or until you press the
START/STOP button. After 4 hours in the
KEEP WARM setting, the cooker will go into
stand-by mode, and the Display Screen will
illuminate with four dashes (----).
TIP:
• The pressure cooking settings are in the
Cooking Guide table on page 14.
• If the lid is not shut correctly or if the
Steam Release Dial is not in the “Seal”
position. The cooker cannot gain pressure
and an Notification message will appear in
the Display Screen. Ensure that the Sealing
Gasket is placed evenly in the lid. See the
Notification Codes chart on page 23.
• It is common for some steam to release
through the Bobber Valve during the
cooking cycle. This is part of normal
operation of the unit.
Note:
Foam may naturally form when
pressure cooking beans or legumes. Add
a small amount of oil to the water before
cooking to reduce this.
Using the Pressure Cooking functions
Note:
The cooker cannot pressure cook
without liquid. Ensure a minimum of 250ml
of liquid is used inside the removable
Cooking Pot.
Note:
See the Cooking Guide on page 14
to find the possible time and pressure
adjustments.
Caution:
During cooking, steam will build
up in the Pressure Multicooker, so when
lifting the lid use an oven glove to protect
your hands.
When Bobber Valve is in the “UP” position, DO
NOT attempt to open the Lid, as the cooker is
still under pressure. When the Bobber Valve
is in the “DOWN” position, the pressure has
released (see Figure 3).
