OPERATING INSTRUCTION
7. SAUTE
This setting is designed for softening and caramelizing garlic, onions and smaller pieces of
food prior to pressure or slow cooking. It can also be used to pre-heat the pot so that other
functions will begin more rapidly.
8. STEAM
This setting is ideal for steaming vegetables, fish fillets, dumplings and reheating.
9. INCREASE (+)
This setting allows the user to increase the time for the functions of this appliance. Slow
increases are completed by tapping the button gently. Faster increases are completed by
holding down the button.
10. DECREASE (–)
This setting allows the user to decrease the time for the functions of this appliance. Slow
decreases are completed by tapping the button gently. Faster decreases are completed by
holding down the button.
11. START/CANCEL
This setting starts or cancels each appliance function. When a function is started the initial
display will show a moving LED image to show that the pot has started the warming function
this may take several minutes. The cancel function will stop a process. If you then decide to
start again you will have to restart all of the functions you require.
12. LED DISPLAY
This display allows the user to see if the appliance is turned on, whether a function is in
progress or whether the function has completed. When the unit is first plugged in an alert
will sound and the display will show four blue zeros.
13. KEEP WARM
This setting is engaged when one of the menu functions such as pressure cooking, slow
cooking or steaming comes to an end. It can also be turned on its own to keep food warm
for up to six hours.
14. LOW PRESSURE
This setting can only be started while cooking within the pressure cooker mode. When set
to low pressure the cooking time is increased because the level of pressure in the pot is
raised to its minimum intensity.
15. CHILI/BEANS
This setting is used for chili recipes that often will have beans as a key ingredient. The
setting assumes that you are cooking dried beans. To shorten the cook time, soak beans in
cold water overnight. Discard soaking water and cook with fresh cold water for half the pre-
set cooking time. Make sure to use a water ratio of 1 part beans to 3 parts water. Beans swell
and double in size after cooking. For best results, do not overfill the cooking bowl. The total
volume of uncooked beans and water should not exceed the marking inside the removable
cooking bowl.
16. BEEF/POULTRY
This setting is used for cooking meat and poultry.
17. PRESSURE VALVE
This valve has two settings exhaust and airtight. Airtight: Set when the pressure cooker is
in use.Exhaust: Set when the pressure cooking is complete to allow steam to escape. Also
set when the pot is set to steam to allow steam to escape. Care must be taken not to put
your hand, arm or face near the valve when steam is escaping. Use a utensil (a long
handled item such as a spatula, tong etc.) to turn the valve distancing the user from the
escaping steam. You can also use a dry or wet towel to cover the vent as the steam is
escaping.
