OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.)
8.
The pressure cooker will begin to operate based on a cooking time of 12 minutes.
When proper pressure is achieved, the display will show 00:12 and the cooking time
will begin to countdown. (The time displayed will depend on the selected MENU
BUTTON and the DEFAULT COOK TIMES CHART on page 14).
9.
When the unit has pressurized, it will begin to pressure-cook the food. You may
hear quiet hissing or sizzling sounds coming from inside of the unit during this time.
**See Notes & Tips #2 if there is steam escaping from the Lid (2) or the Pressure
Limiting Valve (3).
10.
When cooking has completed, the pressure cooker will beep 3-times and
automatically go to KEEP WARM. The display will show bb during KEEP WARM.
11.
The KEEP WARM indicator light will illuminate and the Pressure Cooker will begin
naturally releasing the pressure. (See Notes & Tips #6). Depending on the contents
inside, natural pressure release may take some time to fully release. As a safety
feature, the lid will not open unless all pressure is released. Do not force the lid open.
Once all pressure has released, the Float Valve (4) should sink and the lid should
open easily. If the lid feels tight, please allow additional time for pressure to fully
release before attempting to open the lid.
12.
You may also Quick Release the pressure. To use Quick Release, move the Pressure
Limiting Valve (3) to the “Exhaust” position to release the pressure until the Float
Valve (4) sinks. (Figures 21-22)
CAUTION: Use an oven mitt or long utensil. Keep hands and face away from Pressure
Limiting Valve (3) while in the Exhaust position. Failure to comply may cause serious
injury.
NOTES & TIPS #5:
When cooking soups or stews with other hearty ingredients such as potatoes or meat, as much as
5 or 6 cups of liquid must be used to prevent ingredients from over-cooking or burning.
13.
Always be certain the pressure is released completely before unlocking the lid (2)
and opening it.
14.
Press CANCEL to end operation and remove food to serve immediately or allow the
unit to remain in KEEP WARM mode. (It is not recommended to keep food warm for
over 4-hours).
