1.) Float Valve protection
It will ensure there is no pressure produced when the lid and the
body doesn’t match well.
Please open the lid to release the remnant pressure to make sure
the safety of opening and closing of the lid.
2.) Safety Valve and anti-blockage protection
The safety valve will release the air automatically when the inner
pressure exceeds the limited pressure. And the anti-blockage cove
prevents the pressure valve from clogging.
3.) Opening and closing protection
When the temperature in the inner pot is too high, the lid cannot be
opened.

4.) Over pressure and self-releasing protection
When the inner pressure is abnormal, the excess pressure protection
will be activated, shifting the inner pot downwards to create a gap
between the lid and the inner pot. Steam will be released from the
gap into the internal chamber simultaneously disconnecting the coil.
5.) Over temperature protection
When all the protection devices don’t work, and the inner pressure
comes up to the maximum, the fuse will be burned, and the power
will be cut-off automatically to avoid accidents.
6.) Pressure self-control protection
When the inner pressure is high the inner pot will move downwards to
touch the switch to stop heating. And it will restore heating when the
pressure comes down.
7.) High temperature protection
When the inner pressure comes up to the maximum, the
temperature control switch will cut off the power automatically to
stop heating.
8.) Anti dry-burn protection
When the inner pot is in the state of dry-burn, the temperature
control switch will cut off the power automatically to stop heating.

Using the inner pot for the first time
Use a cleaning agent to clean the inner pot and dry it. Then apply some
edible oil on the non-stick coating and use a clean rag and kitchen paper to
remove the excess oil on it.
Selection of cooking tools
Use spoons and spatulas made of wood or thermal-resistance plastics to
avoid scratches on the coating. Avoid using sharp metal tools.
Cooking the crustacean food
Crustacean food like the crabs and lobsters may have sharp edges which
may also scratch the non-stick coating after they are put into the cooker for
frying. Avoid using this appliance whenever you cook such foods.

the oil stains will be fully removed. If not, these oil stains will be burned and
stuck on the inner pot on your next use.
Caution: Please do not strike the cooker or put the inner pot directly on the
burner for cooking so as to avoid damaging the coating or affecting the
safety of the inner pot.
How to operate
Open the lid by holding the lid handle tightly and turn it clockwise to the
edge-limit place and then lift the lid.
Take out the inner pot and put the food and water into it. The quantity of
food and water should not exceed the 4/5 of the height of the inner pot
while for the food which easily swells in water, the quantity should not
exceed 3/5 of the height of the inner pot. The quantity of food and water
9

should not be less than 1/5 of the height of the inner pot. See illustration
below.
For cooking the rice, the maximum quantity of rice for model 3L, 4L, 5L
and 6L is 6cups, 8cups, 10cups and 12cups, respectively, and the
proportion between the water and rice is 1:1. If it is for congee, the
proportion between the water and rice should be 8:1. The proportion
may be adjusted based on personal taste or cooking experiences.
Put the inner pot into the outer pot but before doing so, the bottom of
inner pot and the heating disk should be clean and no foreign object
should be on the surface. After the inner pot is put into the outer pot, you
can turn the pot slightly leftward and rightward to make sure that the inner
pot contacts the heating disk properly.
Cover the cooker with the lid. Before that, check to see if the seal ring has
been put into the lid and use your hand to slightly turn the supporting cap
for the seal ring leftward and rightward so that it can be evenly placed on
the lid. Then use your hand to hold the lid handle tightly and put it on the
edge limit place. And then turn the lid counterclockwise to the locking
place. A sound of “racking” is heard to indicate that the lid is at the
proper position.
10

Turn the air outlet valve to the “ ” will be seen and check to see if the
float valve is fallen down (the float valve should be fallen down before
heating).
Connect the cooker with the power, the indication “ ” will be seen
on the display.
To set the cooking time based on different foods and for more details,
please refer to the Cooking manual.
Users can adjust the time of the pressure according to the food and personal
cooking experience

Note: If the liquid food is cooked (like the congee and sticky liquid),
you should not lift the pressure limit valve to discharge the air
immediately. In this case, the cooker should be cooled until the
float valve is fallen down and then air can be discharged.
Otherwise, the food may be sprayed out from the air-discharging
pipe. You can disconnect the power plug and use a wet towel to
cover the lid so that the cooker can be cooled quickly.
Unplug the power cord.
Use your hand to hold the lid handle tightly and turn the lid clockwise
to the edge limit place. Then lift up the lid to take the food inside the
cooker.

Recipe
Braised lamb shanks – Pressure cooker recipe
Ingredients
2 tomatoes
4-6 lamb shank, French trimmed if possible
1/4 cup plain flour or 1/4 cup gluten-free flour
8 teaspoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 carrots , peeled and thickly sliced
1 garlic clove, crushed
16

1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon lemon rind, finely grated
3/4 cup red wine
1/4 cup beef stock or 1/4¼cup vegetable stock
Salt
Fresh ground black pepper
4 teaspoon plain flour (optional for thickening gravy) or 4 teaspoons gluten-
free flour (optional for thickening gravy)
8 teaspoons cold water (optional for thickening gravy)
Directions
Peel the tomatoes, remove the calyx and cut into quarters. If you
prefer, you can drop the tomatoes into boiling water for one minute
and then refresh in ice cold water- this makes removing the skins
easier.
Toss the shanks in the flour (You can do this in a large plastic bag for
a no mess cleanup.) Shake off any excess flour. Discard excess flour.
Heat half of the oil in the cooker (no lid) and brown the shanks, two at
a time if necessary. Remove and set aside.
Add the remaining oil and the onion, carrots and garlic. Fry for 5
minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the tomatoes, oregano, lemon
rind, wine and stock. Bring to the boil, stirring well, for a few minutes.
Return the lamb shanks to the cooker and season well with salt and
pepper. Spoon some of the sauce and vegetables over the meat.
Close and lock the lid. Set cooker to High Pressure and cook for 25
minutes.
Carefully release pressure from the cooker and check the meat is
cooked. The meat should be very tender and almost falling off the
bone. Cook a further 5 minutes if required.
If you would like the gravy a little thicker- add the remaining flour to
the cold water and stir until smooth. Simmer gravy and add the flour
paste in slowly until the gravy is thicker.
Serve with mashed potato and a green veg -- or baked tiny
tomatoes. The green or red really adds colour to the plated meal.
