Operating  Instructions

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Notice - All Settings:    

  Press ‘START/STOP’ button to clear any previous program before choosing a setting.  

Inspect Temperature Sensor and bottom of Removable Cooking Pot to make sure these 
areas are clean (see Cleaning Instructions, page 10).   

  Cooker will switch to WARM mode after all cooking functions times out, except BROWN 

mode.   

  If you forget to select the desired cooking time or forget to press the ‘START/STOP’ 

button, the display will show “0.0” after 30 seconds and the settings will be lost.  Repeat 
function and timing steps to program again. 

 

Pressure Cooker Setting 

 

Before using your

 

3-in-1 as a pressure cooker

 

each time

, check the Lid to make sure 

Rubber Gasket and Pressure Regulator Valve are clean and positioned correctly (see  
Cleaning Instructions, page 10).  
 
1. 

Place Removable Cooking Pot into Main Body.  Plug power cord into standard outlet. 

2. 

Place food to be cooked under pressure into Removable Cooking Pot, according to the 
recipe or chart.  NOTE: When cooked under pressure, most foods should have a 
minimum of 1 cup (8 oz.) of liquid added. 

3. 

Place Self Locking Lid on Main Body and turn counter-clockwise until it locks into place 
and the Locking Pin ‘clicks’ into place. 

4. 

Turn the Pressure Regulator Knob to ‘Pressure’. 

5. 

Choose the desired cooking mode by pressing either the ‘HIGH’ or ’LOW’ pressure 
button on Control Panel.  Check recipe for suggested settings. The indicator light will 
flash and the digital display will show ‘01’ (1 minute of cooking time). 

6. 

Set the desired cooking time by pressing the ‘HIGH’ button, once for each additional 
minute or hold down continuously.  The maximum cooking time is 99 minutes. 

7. 

Press the ‘START/STOP’ button to begin cooking.  The indicator light will stop flashing.  

8. 

The Cooker will begin to count down (in minutes) and the Floating Valve will rise after 
the appropriate cooking pressure has been reached.  When time control reaches zero, 
the 3-in-1 Cooker will beep three times and switch to the WARM setting automatically. 

9. 

When cooking is finished, allow pressure to release by using the ‘natural method’ or 
immediately using the ‘quick release method’ (see below).  CAUTION:  Hot steam will 
be ejected when turning the Pressure Regulator Knob – be careful! 

 

  

Pressure Release Methods 

 

Natural Method:

 

 

After cooking cycle completes, press the ‘START/STOP’ button to make 

sure unit is completely off.  Let appliance stand and allow pressure to drop down naturally 
which takes from 10 to 20 minutes.  After 20 minutes, turn the Pressure Regulator Knob 
towards ‘Steam’ in short bursts to make sure all pressure has been released.

  

 

Quick Release Method:

  

After cooking cycle completes, press the ‘START/STOP’ button to 

make sure unit is completely off.  Turn the Pressure Regulator Knob to ‘Steam’ in short 
bursts and allow the pressure to release.  CAUTION: KEEP HANDS AND FACE AWAY 
FROM ESCAPING STEAM AS IT IS EXTREMELY HOT!
