Introduction
With your new Presto
®
Multi-use Programmable Pressure Cooker Plus, you’ll discover how fast and easy it is to prepare a wide variety
of delicious meals. The unit is pre-programmed for pressure cooking. It automatically maintains the proper temperature while cooking
then reduces pressure and switches to the keep warm mode when cooking is complete. In addition to pressure cooking, this appliance
can be used to brown, sauté, slow cook, and keep cooked foods warm.
The innovative technology senses the temperature inside the cooker to assure the exact pressure is maintained for precise cooking no
matter where you live. No altitude adjustments are needed. There are 9 built-in safety features, including a cover locking system that
allows pressure to build only when the cover is closed. It also prevents the cover from being opened until pressure is safely reduced.
Before First Use
As received, your pressure cooker will be fully assembled. Before removing the cover, you will need to unlock the green locking latch
according to the instructions below. Before use, disassemble the cooker parts and clean them as directed on page 4. Become familiar with
the various parts (Fig. A) and read all instructions carefully.
Remove the Cooker Cover
1. Before removing the cover, you will need to unlock the green locking latch. Begin by positioning the cooker so the digital display
faces you. To unlock the latch, grasp the sides of the latch and turn it towards you until it stops (Fig. B). Lift the temperature sensor
arm out of the sensor hole in the cover (Fig. C).
2. Once you have released the temperature sensor arm from the cover, rotate the cover counterclockwise until the INSTALL/REMOVE
vertical mark is within the mark on the cooker body (Fig. D). Then lift the cover straight up off the cooker body.
