INSTALLING THE
CONDENSATION COLLECTOR
To install the condensation collector, slide it

to remove it for hand-washing after each use.
REMOVING & REINSTALLING
THE ANTI-CLOG CAP
Make sure that the anti-clog cap is in the
correct position before using the pressure
lid. The anti-clog cap protects the inner
valve of the pressure lid from clogging
and protects users from potential food
splatters. It should be cleaned after
every use with a cleaning brush. To
remove, hold the anti-clog cap between
your thumb and bent index finger, then
turn your wrist clockwise to remove.
NOTE:
While cooking, to adjust temp or
time, use the up and down arrows. The
unit will then resume at those settings.
NOTE:
Prior to each use, make sure the
silicone ring is well seated in the silicone
ring rack and the anti-clog cap is mounted
properly on the pressure release valve.
KEEP WARM:
After pressure cooking,
steaming, or slow cooking, the unit will
automatically switch to Keep Warm mode
and start counting up. Keep Warm will stay
on for 12 hours, or you may press KEEP
WARM to turn it off. Keep Warm mode is not
intended to warm food from a cold state but
to keep it warm at a food-safe temperature.
