Dear Customer,

Congratulations! On buying our Manttra Chef-Xpr

Electric Pressure cooker.

you additional safety and reduce your drudgery.

Following are the features built in:

1. Pot and Lid:

cooker has a built in electrical heater and a special
connector which links it to your domestic power
supply, through a mating connector in the Electric Unit
(plastic base) through the supplied cord.  The connector
with the plastic base has a safety interlock, which

ensures that the grounding pin is first connected befor

e

the power is supplied to the coil.  This also pr

ovides a

measure of protection from accidental electric shock,
when the cooker body is out of the plastic base. Do not
immerse this in water.

3. Electric Unit (Plastic Base):

    This

plastic base houses the power
connections and all the electronics for
the programmable controller, the
electrical interlocks and the over
temperature thermal cutout.  Do not
immerse this in water. Clean only by wiping with a
damp cloth.

4. Programming:
