HOW TO USE (pressure cook)
1. Place the pressure cooker on a dry, level surface. To avoid steam damage to cabinets,
position the cooker so the air vent/cover lock and quick pressure release valve are not
directly under cabinets.
2. Place the removable cooking pot into the cooker body.
3. NEVER USE THE UNIT WITHOUT THE REMOVABLE COOKING POT.
4. Attach power cord to cooker and then plug into a 240V AC wall outlet.
5. Prepare ingredients according to the directions in the recipe you have selected. If the recipe
states to brown or sauté food, select the BROWN or SAUTÉ function and press the start
button to activate the unit. Preheat the unit for 3 to 4 minutes and brown or sauté food
according to recipe. When browning/sautéing is complete, press the cancel button so you
can select another cooking function.
6. If recipe calls for using the cooking rack, place cooking rack into the cooking pot. Add
ingredients to the cooking pot, being sure not to overfill. Pour liquid into the cooking pot, as
specified in the recipe or timetable.
7.
Place the cover on the cooker body, aligning the INSTALL/REMOVE vertical mark within the
mark on the cooker body (Fig. D, ). Rotate the cover clockwise until it stops. The pressure cooker
cover is properly installed when the LOCKED vertical mark is within the mark on the cooker
body (Fig. M).
8. With the digital display facing you, lower the temperature sensor arm and insert the sensor
into its hole in the cover (Fig. N). It may be necessary to rotate the cover slightly so the hole
aligns with the sensor. Lock the cover by grasping the green latch. Using a slight downward
pressure, turn the latch clockwise until it is aligned with the handle (Fig. P).
9. Push the quick pressure release valve onto the vent pipe and point the lever to the COOK
position (Fig. O).
10. Using the control knob, scroll to select the appropriate preset for the desired function and/or
type of food. Adjust the cooking time as necessary. Or, if preferred, manually set the
pressure and time.
11. Press the start button to activate the unit. WARM UP will illuminate. As the unit is heating,
air will automatically exhaust around the air vent/cover lock. You will hear this venting.
When pressure begins to build, the green air vent/cover lock will slide up (Fig. P), so the
locking latch cannot be turned and the cover cannot be opened. Once the unit is at pressure,
COOKING will illuminate and the timer will start to count down. During cooking you may
notice some steam releasing from the quick pressure release valve. This is normal.
NOTE: Occasionally you may hear a ticking sound. This is the unit cycling on and off during
