the extra condensation during cooking.
2. Hold the lid handle and turn the lid clockwise towards the unlock icon until the pin (22) is fully extend.
3. Lift the lid off the pot. (see Fig. E)

contact between the inner pot and the heating element.
6. Place the lid on the pot, rotate it anti-clockwise towards the lock icon until the lid locks in place. The
arrow mark ▲on the lid and main unit should align. The pin (22) should not be visible from the side of
the lid. (see Fig. D)

with the arrow ▲(see Fig. F)
8. Connect the supply cord plug into a mains power outlet socket.
A beep sound can be hear and “0000” can be seen on display. The pressure cooker is now in the
standby mode and ready for use.

LID OPENING
Some residual heat and steam may be released when opening the lid on the pressure cooker which may
cause injury. Protect your hands with oven mitts and use the lid to shield and direct steam away from
your face and hands when opening the lid.
Safe lid release:
1. Wait until the pressure cooking program has completed or press the “Keep Warm/ Cancel/- ” key to
terminate the program.
2. Unplug the pressure cooker and remove the power cord.
3. Allow the cooker to cool down and wait until the safety valve (1) drops down. Depending on the
volume of food and liquid inside the cooker, this may take 12 to 30 minutes.
4. Once the safety valve has dropped down, hold the lid handle and rotate the lid to clockwise towards the
unlock icon, until the lid is disengaged and then lift the lid open. (see Fig.E)
Attention: Do not open the lid until pressure inside the pot is completely released. See Important
Safeguards.
Quick release:
WARNING! Burn hazard! Burst of steam will be given off vertically from center of the pressure regulator
1. To speed up the cooling down process, place a wet towel on the lid.
5. Slowly open the pressure regulator valve by turning the valve anti-clockwise towards the steam symbol.
The steam symbol should align with the arrow ▲. (see Fig. G)
6. Wait until the safety valve has dropped down, hold the lid handle and rotate the lid to clockwise
towards the unlock icon, wait until the lid is disengaged and then lift the lid open. (see Fig.E)
