• Rice cooking:
This is a simple 6-minute program for cooking dishes such
as rice, polenta and risotto.
• Slow Cooking:
cooks your food slowly, for up to 9.5 hours, at a temperature
of 190°F (LOW) or 212°F (HIGH). Slow cooking helps food retain maximum
flavor and tenderness. Press the button to increase the cooking time by
30-minute increments.
• Warm:
reheats or keeps cooked food warm until you are ready to enjoy it.
There isn’t a maximum time limit for the warm function.
• Brown:
allows you to brown or sauté your food before cooking.
• Delay Time:
allows you to delay the cooking process up to 8 hours.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE THE DELAY TIME FUNCTION WHEN COOKING
FOODS THAT MIGHT SPOIL IF LEFT OUT AT ROOM TEMPERATURE.
Getting Started
Read the safety instructions found in this manual before plugging in and operating.
Before using the Multi-cooker for the first time, follow these steps:
1. Remove all packing materials and literature from within the Multi-cooker. Lift
the inner cooking pot and remove any pieces of paper from under it. Remove
the plastic protection from the control panel and any stickers from the lid or
stainless steel housing.
2. Wash all removable parts in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry all parts
thoroughly. Wipe the stainless steel outer housing with a clean damp cloth.
NEVER submerge the stainless steel outer housing in water or any other
liquid. Only the removable cooking pot is dishwasher safe.
3. Make sure the silicone gasket is seated properly inside the lid. To make sure
it has been fitted correctly, fill the removable cooking pot with water up to
two thirds full, and cook on HIGH PRESSURE for 15 minutes. Release the
pressure by turning the pressure regulator knob to STEAM. The steam is
released and the floating valve will drop. If steam is not being released, the
gasket probably hasn’t been fitted correctly and the cooker hasn’t built up any
pressure: re-adjust the gasket to make sure it is fitted properly, and repeat this
step.
4. Let the appliance cool to room temperature and then empty and clean.
