BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using the appliance for the rst time, clean
the inner pot, the inside of the lid and all included
accessories with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
Rinse and dry them afterwards.
OPERATION
Removing the lid: (Fig. B)
Grasp the lid by the handle and turn it clockwise
to unlock. Carefully lift the lid to open it.
Attaching the lid: (Fig. C)
Place the lid on the pressure cooker - you may
need to reposition the lid to make it t properly.
Then turn it counterclockwise to lock it in place.
COOKING:
1. Open the lid and put the food and liquid into
the inner pot according to your recipe. Make
sure the pot is lled at least to the 1/5 mark but
never exceed the 4/5 mark. If you are preparing
food that expands during cooking, such as
beans and rice, do not ll the pot above the
3/5mark.
2. Check that the outside of the inner pot and the
seal ring of the lid are clean before closing the
lid.
3. Make sure that the pressure limit valve (1)
is attached properly and the oat valve (3)
is in the down position. Point the pressure
limit valve to the “CLOSE” or “OPEN” position
according to your program choice. (See the
“PRESET COOKING PROGRAMS” table for
details)
4. Connect the power cord with the power outlet.
The control panel will display “0000”.
5. Select the desired cooking program by
pressing the corresponding button and adjust
the cooking time with the +/- buttons. The
indicator light above the selected program
ashes 8 times, then the pressure cooker starts
the program automatically.
6. When the cooking time is over, the pressure
cooker beeps and automatically switches to
“warm” mode. This mode is designed to keep
the food warm until you are ready to release
the pressure and remove the food from the
pot. The “warm” mode can remain active for
up to 24 hours. However, for best results, it
is recommended to remove the food within
6hours of completion.
7. Press the [Warm/Cancel] button to exit “warm”
mode or cancel any running program.
Note: For programs that cook with pressure, the
set cooking time does not start until sucient
pressure is built up by preheating. Once this is the
case, the oat valve (3) lifts and the timer starts to
count down.
Pressure Release after cooking:
After cooking and cancelling the “warm” mode,
the pressure in the pot must rst be released
before the lid can be removed.
WARNING: Never attempt to force the lid open.
If the lid will not open easily, it means there is
sill pressure inside the pot that must be released
before the lid can be opened. It is safe to open the
lid, when the oat valve is in the down position.
There are two methods of pressure release:
• Natural Release - After cancelling the “warm”
mode the pressure cooker cools down and
the pressure inside slowly drops. This process
takes several minutes (usually between 10-60
minutes) depending on the amount of food in
the cooker.
• Quick Release - This method allows to release
the pressure in a short amount of time by
turning the pressure limit valve to the “OPEN”
position.
Hot steam will immediately start ejecting
from the vents. Be careful not to scald
yourself! We recommend that you cover your
hand with a dish towel when doing this.
When the pressure is released, the oat valve (3)
starts to lower. Once it is in the down position, the
lid can be opened safely.
Tip: We recommend using the “Natural Release”
method for foods with a high liquid or starch
content, as the “Quick Release” method would
cause splashing during pressure release and clog
the pressure limit valve.
PRESET SETTING DELAY TIMER:
You can set a delay time after which the cooking
pro-cess will start by following the instruction
below:
1. Press the [Preset Setting] button and adjust the
delay time using the +/- buttons. (0.5-24 hours)
2. Then select the desired cooking program and
adjust the cooking time using the +/- buttons.
Wait a few se-conds until the entry is accepted.
3. Once the delay time has elapsed the pressure
cooker will start with the cooking process.
Note: The start delay time is not applicable for the
pro-gram “Cake”.
