USING THE TURBO PRESSURE FUNCTION
The TURBO PRESSURE function will reduce the selected cooking time by 40%*. The TURBO PRESSURE function can be
used with the STEAM, RICE/GRAINS, BEANS/CHILI, MEAT/POULTRY, SOUP/STEW and MANUAL settings.
1. Select your desired cooking function and adjust the time and pressure as required.
2. Press the TURBO PRESSURE button. The time on the display screen will reduce by 40% and ‘turbo’ will be displayed
on screen. If needed, the cooking time can be adjusted further to suit your preferences.
3. Press START/STOP to begin cooking.
4. Once cooking the time is complete the Multi-Cooker will beep and automatically switch to the KEEP WARM setting.
Always ensure that food is fully cooked before consuming.
Note: The TURBO PRESSURE function cannot be used with non-pressurised (traditional) settings or when the Multi-
Cooker is set to low pressure.
*vs when cooking in the Crockpot CSC062 using the high pressure setting.
RELEASING PRESSURE AT THE END OF COOKING
A.
Natural Pressure Release Method: After cooking cycle is complete, let Multi-Cooker naturally release pressure
through the Bobber Valve. Unit will gradually cool down on its own. Wait at least 10 minutes after cooking has
completed. If using a higher volume of food and liquid, this can take up to 20 minutes. And then, turn the Steam
Release Dial to the “Release” position . (see Figure 2). Do not place any part of your hand or body over the steam
outlet on top of the valve, as steam is very hot and can scald skin. The pressure has been released when steam is
no longer escaping from the valve and the bobber valve has dropped down. Only then is it safe to remove the Lid and
serve food. When lifting the lid, use an oven glove to protect your hands.
B.
Quick Pressure release method should be used with caution: Turn the Steam Release Dial to the “Release”
setting (see Figure 2). Steam will release rapidly from the Steam Release Valve. Do not place any part of your hand
or body over the steam outlet on the top of the valve, as steam is very hot and can scald skin. Use this method with
caution when cooking liquid ingredients such as casseroles, soups, stocks, beans and pulses. Never use this method
when cooking rice, as rice tends to be very delicate. The pressure has been released when steam is no longer
escaping from the valve and the bobber valve has dropped down. Only then is it safe to remove the Lid and serve
food. When lifting the lid, use an oven glove to protect your hands.
CAUTION:
1. Do not force the Lid to open. If it does not open easily this means that the Multi-Cooker is still under pressure.
2. During cooking, steam will build up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the Lid use a kitchen glove or mitt to protect
your hand.
SLOW COOKING
LOW Setting: This is suitable for simmering and slow cooking. Recommended cooking times in LOW are from 6 to 8 hours.
HIGH Setting: This is for faster cooking. Recommended cooking times in HIGH are from 2 to 4 hours.
KEEP WARM Setting: When cooking time is completed, the Multi-Cooker automatically switches to the KEEP WARM
setting to prevent overcooking and to keep your cooked food warm until serving - perfect for busy families, those on the
run and those who need flexible meal times. This setting is not hot enough to cook and should only be used to keep hot,
cooked food warm for serving.
Note: When slow cooking, the ideal fill level for your ingredients is between the 1/2 and 2/3 marks. Never fill the Cooking
Pot above the MAX line.
Due to the multi-functionality of the CSC062 appliance, its slow cooking function works in a slightly different way
to regular Crockpots. If using a recipe for a similar-sized Crockpot, you may need to increase the cooking time for
use with the CSC062.
USING THE SLOW COOK FUNCTION
The SLOW COOK function does not use pressure in the cooking process, but some pressure can build inside the unit during
cooking. When using this function, ensure the Steam Release Dial is in the “Release” position. This function will cook similarly
to standard slow cookers, using lower temperatures and longer cooking times to achieve tender, flavorful meals.
Place the Multi-Cooker on a flat, level surface.
Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug the Multi-Cooker into a wall outlet. The Multi-Cooker will beep, and the
Display Screen will illuminate with four dashes (- - - -).
1. Place your food and liquid inside the removable Cooking Pot.
2. Place the Lid onto the Multi-Cooker and align with . To lock, rotate counterclockwise to the LOCKED
position.
3. Rotate the Steam Release Dial to the “Release” position.
Note: Although this setting will not use pressure in the cooking process, some pressure can build inside the unit
during cooking. This is why it’s important to keep the Steam Release Dial in the “Release” position.
4. Press the SLOW COOK button and adjust the time and temperature as needed.
Note: See the Cooking Guide on page 12 to find the possible time and temperature adjustments.
5. Press START/STOP. The time will begin to count down.
6. After the set cooking time has elapsed, the Multi-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 Multi-Cooker will turn off.
TIP: The SLOW COOK settings are in the Cooking Guide on page 12.
CAUTION: During slow cooking, steam may build up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the Lid use a kitchen glove or mitt
to protect your hand.
