HOW TO OPERATE
HOW TO OPERATE
The amount of food/water put in the cooker
can’t exceed 2/3 of the cooker’s volume, and
the minimum can’t be less than 8 oz.
USING THE PRESSURE COOKER:
1. Per recipe directions, place your ingredients in the desired pot
(9.5 or 5 quart).
2. Always check that the gasket on the cover is in place and in good
condition.
3. Look through the pressure regulator valve filter on the inside of
the cover (it looks like a salt shaker cover) to make certain that it
is clear.
4. Place the cover on the cooker and align the
arrow on the cover with the arrow on the lower
handle. Turn the upper handle of the cover clockwise
to meet the lower handle position. Ensure the spring
valve and pressure regulator valve are in the dropped
position.
5. Place the pressure regulator valve cap on the pressure regulator
valve.
6. When the cover has been closed properly, cooking can begin.
Some steam will escape from the pressure safety valve, but this is
normal. As the pressure builds up, the pressure safety valve will
rise up and remain in this position (locking the cover).
(continued on page 9)
7. To reduce the pressure when cooking
is complete, turn off the heat (or very
carefully, using oven mitts, remove the
pot from the heat). The pressure is
completely reduced when the pressure
safety valve lowers. To speed this process
(some recipes may request pressure is
reduced quickly), use a long-handled,
wooden spoon to gently lift the pressure
regulator valve cap.
KEEP CLEAR OF THE
RELEASING STEAM!
WARNING:
IF THE PRESSURE SAFETY VALVE REMAINS IN THE RAISED
POSITION, THERE MAY STILL BE PRESSURE INSIDE THE PRESSURE COOKER.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN!
CONTINUE TO COOL UNTIL IT DROPS.
8. After the pressure has been completely reduced, using an oven mitt,
remove the pressure regulator valve cap.
ALWAYS REMOVE THE PRESSURE
REGULATOR VALVE CAP BEFORE OPENING THE COVER.
9. When all the steam has escaped, and the pressure safety valve lowers, the
safety lock should be pushed forward as per the arrow on the lock. Open the
cover in a counter clockwise direction. If you are unable to open the cover,
it means that there is still some pressure inside the cooker.
Do not try to
force it open.
Using a long-handled, wooden spoon, gently lift the pressure
regulator valve cap to release the remaining pressure.
Note:
The safety lock will
click into place
the lowered pressure
safety valve indicates
the pressure is released
