Stage 1: Setting up the Duo for pressure
cooking
01
Remove the inner pot from the
multicooker base.
Add food and liquid ingredients to the
inner pot, as directed by your recipe.
Use the steam rack to keep foods out
of the cooking liquid. This helps to
distribute heat, prevents nutrients from
leeching into the cooking liquid and
stops food items from sticking to the
bottom of the inner pot.
Insert the inner pot back into the
multicooker base.
02
Secure the power lead to the base
power socket at the back of the
multicooker base. Make sure the
connection is tight.
Connect the power lead to
a 220–240V power source.
