Safety instructions
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using pressure cookers, basic safety precautions
should always be followed:
− Read all instructions.
− Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handles and protect
your hands with oven mitts.
− Close supervision is necessary when the pressure cooker is
used near children.
− Do not place the pressure cooker in a heated oven,
a microwave, on or near a hot gas or electric burner.
Handles, valves and safety features will be damaged by
the high temperatures.
− Extreme caution must be used when moving a pressure
cooker containing hot liquids.
− Do not use the pressure cooker for other than intended use.
− The pressure cooker cooks under pressure. Improper
use may result in scalding injury. Make certain the unit is
properly closed before operating. Read the instructions in
the user manual.
− Do not fill the unit over ⁄ full. When cooking foods that
expand during cooking such as rice or dried vegetables,
do not fill the unit over ½ full. Over filling may cause a risk
of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure.

Safety
9
Read the instructions in the user manual.
− Be aware that certain foods, such as applesauce,
cranberries, pearl barley, or other cereals, split peas,
noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or spaghetti can foam, froth,
and sputter, and clog the pressure release device (steam
vent). These foods should not be cooked in a pressure
cooker.
− Always check the pressure regulator and float valve for
clogging before use.
− NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE LID WHEN THE PRESSURE
COOKER IS UNDER PRESSURE. Do not open the pressure
cooker until the unit has cooled and all internal pressure
has been released. If the handles are difficult to push
apart, this indicates that the cooker is still pressurized –
do not force it open. Any pressure in the cooker can be
hazardous. Read the instructions in the user manual.
− Do not use this pressure cooker for pressure frying with oil.
− When the normal operating pressure is reached, turn the
heat down so all the liquid, which creates the steam, does
not evaporate.
WARNING!
Risk of electric shock!
A faulty electrical installation, excessive line voltage, or incorrect
operation may result in an electric shock.
− 3 PRONG PLUG: The pressure cooker comes equipped with
a 3 prong plug. It is recommended that you only plug this
into an outlet that accepts the 3 prongs and that you do
not try to defeat this feature as it is an important safety
feature that protects you from electric shock if a wire
comes loose.
− CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against risk of
electric shock, connect to properly grounded outlets only.

Safety
10
− If electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, the
pressure cooker may not operate properly. The pressure
cooker should be operated on a separate electrical circuit
from other operating appliances.
− Never operate the pressure cooker when it has a damaged
cord or plug, when it is not working properly, after it has
been dropped or damaged, or after it has been dropped
into water. Return the pressure cooker to a service center
for examination and repair.
− Only connect the pressure cooker if the line voltage of the
outlet corresponds to the data on the rating plate.
− Only connect the pressure cooker to an easily accessible
outlet so that you can quickly disconnect it from the power
supply in the event of a problem.
− Do not open the housing; instead, have a qualified
professional perform repairs. Contact a qualified
workshop for this. Liability and warranty claims are
waived in the event of repairs performed by the user,
improper connection or incorrect operation.
− Only parts that comply with the original device data may
be used for repairs. The pressure cooker contains electrical
and mechanical parts which are essential for providing
protection against sources of danger.
− Always attach the plug to the pressure cooker first, then
plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any
control to “off”, then remove the plug from wall outlet.
− The pressure cooker must not be operated with an
external timer or separate remote control system.
− Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.
− To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the
base unit, power plug and power cord in water or other
liquids.
− Do not allow the pressure cooker to be exposed to rain or
moisture during use or storage.

instead, always pull it out by the plug itself.
− Never move, pull, or carry the pressure cooker by its power
cord.
− Keep the pressure cooker and power cord away from open
flames and hot surfaces.
− Lay the power cord so that it does not pose a tripping hazard.
− Do not kink the power cord and do not lay it over sharp
edges.
− Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of the table
or counter, or hot surfaces.
− Only use the pressure cooker indoors. Do not use the
pressure cooker in damp rooms or in the rain. Do not use
outdoors.
− Do not place or store the pressure cooker where it can be
pulled into a tub or sink.
− Never reach to retrieve the pressure cooker if it has fallen
into water. In such a case, immediately disconnect the
power plug.
− Never insert any objects into the housing.
− Always turn the pressure cooker off and pull the plug out
of the wall outlet before you clean the pressure cooker, if a
fault occurs and in the event of a storm.
− Never operate the pressure cooker with the air openings
blocked or while on a soft surface, such as a bed or couch,
where it is possible for the air openings to be blocked.
Keep the air openings free of lint, hair, and similar objects.
− If you do not intend to use the pressure cooker for an
extended period of time, disconnect it from the power
source. The pressure cooker is only completely without
current when the power plug has been pulled out of the
wall outlet.
− SHORT CORD PURPOSE: A short detachable power-supply
cord should be used to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Safety
12
− Longer detachable power-supply cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
− If a longer detachable power-supply cord is used:
(1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance; and
(2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over unintentionally;
(3) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension
cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
− Unplug the pressure cooker from wall outlet when not in
use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on
or taking off parts.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Keep the user manual for future reference.
First use
Checking the pressure cooker and package contents
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
If you are not cautious when opening the packaging with a
sharp knife or other pointed object, you may quickly damage
the pressure cooker.
− For this reason, be very careful when opening it.
1. Take the pressure cooker out of the packaging.
2. Check to make sure that all parts are included (see Fig. A).
3. Check whether the pressure cooker or individual parts are damaged. If this
is the case, do not use the pressure cooker. Contact the manufacturer via
the service address indicated on the warranty card.
Basic cleaning
• Remove the packaging material and all plastic wrappings.
• Clean all parts of the pressure cooker before first use as described in the
chapter “Cleaning and maintenance”.

Safety devices
16
Installing the condensation collector
− Install the condensation collector 14 onto the side of the base unit 11
(see Fig. D). It collects and holds the extra condensation during cooking.
Connecting to power
1. Insert the connector end of the power cord 15 into the power outlet 13 of
the pressure cooker.
2. Connect the plug of the power cord to a wall outlet.
A beep sound can be heard and “0FF” can be seen on the display 21 once
the pressure cooker is powered. The pressure cooker is now in the standby
(OFF) mode and ready for use.
Safety devices
The pressure cooker is equipped with the following safety devices for safe
pressure cooking.
• Float valve 1: It checks the inside pressure of the pressure cooker. While
pressure is building up, the float valve pops up and locks the lid 4. When
the float valve pops up, never attempt to open the lid of the pressure cooker.
When the float valve has dropped back down to its original (down) position,
the pressure cooker is no longer under pressure. The lid can then be
opened.
• Pressure regulator 3: Turning the pressure regulator to the “Exhaust”
position will release the extra pressure in the pressure cooker for safe
opening of the lid when cooking is done. Use a tool (e.g. a long wooden
spoon) or protect your hands with oven mitts to turn the pressure
regulator. This will avoid getting your hand in contact with hot steam
which may cause injury.
• Anti-blockage vent: The steam vent in the lid is specially designed to
prevent food debris from blocking it.
• Lid position sensor: The sensor monitors whether the lid is at a safe position
for pressure cooking.
• Automatic temperature control and monitoring: It regulates the cooking
temperature and avoid food burning based on the selected cooking mode.
• Pressure controller: It keeps the cooking pressure always in the safe range
(e.g. through releasing excess pressure).
• Electrical current and temperature fuse: It cuts off power if the current or
internal temperature of the pressure cooker exceeds the safety limits.

Using the pressure cooking modes
WARNING!
Risk of injury!
Forcing the lid to open may result in burns and serious injury.
− Once the float valve pops up, there is pressure built up
inside the pressure cooker. Never open the lid at this time.
CAUTION!
Risk of clogging!
Overfilling the pressure cooker may cause excess steam which
may lead to burns.
− Do not overfill the pressure cooker; otherwise, there is a
risk of clogging the steam outlets (e.g. float valve) and
developing excessive pressure.

Using the pressure cooking modes
18
− Cooking under pressure raises the temperature of the liquid
and steam inside the pressure cooker well above boiling
point. This method of cooking is saving you both time (foods
cook up to 70 % faster) and money (less energy is used).
Besides, more vitamins and minerals in the food are retained
and natural flavors are enhanced.
− The pressure cooker must be filled at least to the “ CUPS“
(minimum) mark with water or liquids to make steam.
− In general, cut the ingredients which are to be cooked
quickly into larger pieces and those which are to be cooked
slowly into smaller pieces for even cooking results.
− When cooking white rice, use the measuring cup 17
provided. The optimum proportion is 1 cup of rice to 1 cup
of water. After cooking is done, rest for 10 minutes before
opening the lid.
− Frozen meats and vegetables must be defrosted before
cooking.
− When cooking dried beans and peas, soak them for a
minimum of 3 hours in water first before using in your
recipes.
Preparing for pressure cooking
1. Connect the pressure cooker to power (see chapter “Connecting to power”).
2. Add the ingredients into the pot 8.
Make sure that the amount of food and liquid combined reaches the
“2 CUPS” (minimum) mark on the inside of the pot, but never more than the
MAX. mark (⁄ of the pot capacity).
When cooking food that expands such as rice, dried beans, grains and
legumes, do not fill more than half of the pot capacity.

3. Close the lid 4so that the lid positioning marker 5aligns with the
“OPEN” mark on the base unit 11 (see step 1 in Fig. E).
You will hear beep sounds when the marks align with each other.
4. Rotate the lid until the lid positioning marker aligns with the “CLOSE”
position on the base unit (see step 2 in Fig. E).
When the marks align with each other, the repetitive beep sounds will
change to a longer beep sound before stopping.
