Getting Started
Read the safety instructions found in this manual before plugging in and
operating. Before using the Electric Pressure Cooker Plus for the first time, follow
these steps:
1. Remove all packing materials and literature from within the Electric Pressure
Cooker Plus. 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 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. Try to readjust 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.
