NOTES & TIPS #6:
•
It is recommended to release the pressurized steam when the “Keep Warm” LED stops flickering as the
pressure cooker will have lower pressure. This will require a little more time. (Approximately 5-10
minutes).
•
During the cooking process, when the pressure cooker enters into the Pressurized Sequence, the first
digit on the LCD screen will display the letter “P”. At the same time, the power supply to the Heater
(18) will shut off, but the Keep Warm LED light will light up without flickering.
•
For foods with a high volume of liquid (Stews, soups, porridges, etc.) IT IS NOT RECOMMEND TO USE
QUICK RELEASE. This is to avoid liquid splatter from the ventilation in the Pressure Limiting Valve (3).
•
Use the NATURAL RELEASE: User should wait for the temperature to drop and the Float Valve to sink
on its own prior to opening the lid.
*CAUTION: It is not recommended to use the Pre-Set Timer function to cook foods that may
spoil. Leaving raw foods inside the pressure cooker for long periods of time prior to
cookingmay result in the food spoiling.
Cook food that can be left out such as rice, beans, grains or other foods that will not spoil.

INSIDE THE PRESSURE COOKER:
Certain recipes suggest that you brown meat or sauté vegetables to ensure juices are retained during
cooking. It also provides nice coloring when meat or vegetables are cooked and ready to serve.
To brown or sauté:
1.
Open and/or remove the lid depending on your preference.
2.
Press START to manually begin the heating process.
3.
Put food into the Inner Pot (8) and cook to brown or sauté to desired consistency.
4.
When ready to start the pressurized cooking cycle: Press “Keep Warm/Cancel” button to
cancel the browning/sautéing process.
5.
Close the lid and secure properly.
6.
Follow the instructions on cooking to your preference.
NOTES & TIPS #7:
•
During Browning/Sautéing, the pressure cooker will automatically set itself to Keep Warm when it reaches
a high temperature. (Approximately 5-minutes). If you are browning/sautéing a large quantity of food, you
may need to allow the unit to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes before pressing START again. It is possible that
the internal sensor will prevent any other buttons from activating to avoid over-heating.
