HOW PRESSURE COOKER WORKS
TECHNICAL PARAMETERS
In the process of heang, the cooker is sealed by a silicon sealing ring, pressure in the cooker is increasing gradually, and
boiling point of water is increasing accordingly. When pressure in the cooker exceeds the specied limit, the pressure
regulator is pushing up, allowing steam to escape from the vent pipe keeping temperature and pressure inside the cooker
at a certain level. If the escaping hole is blocked by food, one of the two safety valves will exhaust steam automacally for
safety assurance. To ensure safe operaon once lid is properly closed it will lock in this posion when pressure reaches a
certain point.
Working pressure: 80 Kpa ±8kpa
Safety pressure: 110 ~160 Kpa
Pressure inside the cooker under condion that the lid has not closed to full posion: < 4 Kpa
Pressure in the cover when the oang valve locked: >4 Kpa
Compable heang sources:
*On gas burner (or stove), the ame should not go beyond the base of the cooker pot, it can be added
burner ring to control re.
*On inducon cooker, use a hotplate of a diameter equal to the diameter of the base of the pressure
cooker. Take care that the boom of the cooker is perfectly clean.
CAUTION: Prevent erce re burning the handle when using.

FEATURES OF PRESSURE COOKING:
1. Save me, preserves food up to 30%~70% faster than ordinary cooking methods.
2. Using less energy and saving more money. Keep kitchens cool and lower fuel bills. During the modern busy day, you can
prepare a complete homemade gourmet meal in minutes.
3. Pressure cooking helps to retain your food essenal nutrients. Cooking in an almost airless cooking environment with
just a lile liquid, Flavor is enhanced and food valuable vitamins and minerals are retained.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Installaon of lid handle: Let the lid handle cling to the lid, make the head of lid handle aim at oang valve to insert
the screw, and run 2pcs M4 screws through the holes in the lid, then ghten the locknut.
2. Installaon of body handle. Let the body handle with jacket cling to the handle seat, and run M6 screw through the
hole in the body handle, then ghten the locknut.
CAUTION:
• Servicing or repair should only be completed by a qualied technician.
• Don’t tamper with the pressure cooker, you may damage the safety systems and prevent their operaon.
• Don’t dismantle any part of the pressure cooker unless directed to do so in instrucons.
• Using aachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause hazards. Only use original spare parts.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Only under correct operaonal condions, can take full advantages of your pressure cooker and long life be showed.
Please read operang instrucons carefully and familiarize yourself with your new pressure cooker before using for the
rst me.
(A) Descripon & Operaon of operang and safety devices:
a) Pressure Regulator: In down posion when cooking under pressure, up posion when steaming.
b) Safety Valve: Allows excess pressure to escape in case that the vent pipe is blocked, so that not too much pressure is
building up inside of cooker. There’re 2 sets safety valves on the lid.
c) Floang Valve: It will rise against pressure built up and keep the lid in the locking posion unl pressure is released.
When the pressure is over 4 KPa in the cooker, the oang valve going up so that prevent handles to be rotated and the lid
cannot be opened. This device ensures the safety of opening and closing which avoids the dangerous possibility of wrong
handlings.
d) Sealing Ring: Silicon ring without poison or odor, creates an air ght seal that is needed for the Pressure Cooker to
operate. Also makes the lid easy to open and close.
e) Block-proof cover: which under the vent pipe prevents the vent pipe from being blocked and improves the cooker’s
safety.
With such above components, Pressure cookers eliminate all dangerous possibilies.
(B) Instrucon for use and method of operaon:
Before Use: Before cooking, please put some cooking oil on the edge of cooker body and sealing ring, for easy inial
opening and closing the lid. Then pour the water into 1/2 of the cooker, keep ten minutes to close the lid and heat unl
pressure regulator exhausng to get rid of new pot smell. When the pressure released and body cooling down, clean the
pot to backup.
Use Capacity
Do not ll up the pressure cooker over 2/3 of its full capacity. When cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice
or dried vegetables, do not ll the unit over 1/2 full. Over lling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing
excess pressure.

Check Safety Devices
Make sure safety valve, vent pipe, and oang valve are normal and clean before using every me, open the block-
proof cover on the lid and check carefully in the light to ensure that there are no blockages of the vent pipe. If found any
blockages, clear it immediately. The silicon sealing ring is securely posioned and not aged.
Close and Open the Lid
Aim at the body tooth and rotate the lid handle clockwise unl the arrowhead on the
lid fully aligns with the arrowhead on the lid handle. For the new pressure cooker,
press the lid with le hand, rotate the handles strongly a few mes with right hand to
ensure use properly. Rotate the lid handle counter-clockwise unl the arrowhead on
the lid aligns with the arrowhead on the lid handle, and then open the lid.
Place the Pressure Regulator
When regular steam escapes from the vent pipe aer heang, make sure the vent pipe unimpeded, then put the pressure
regulator onto the vent pipe.
Heang
Aer the lid has been closed properly, cooking can be started with heat. It is normal for some
steam to escape from the oang valve at beginning. Later in the cooking process the oang
valve will rise up and remain in the up posion, seal automacally during the pressure generaon.
Reduce the heat immediately once the pressure regulator is exhausng, and keep the steam
exhaust steadily unl the cooking completed. “Refer to the table of Recommended Cooking
Times.”
End of Heang
Remove the pressure cooker from the source of heat, reduce pressure before opening the lid. Set the cooker aside to a
cool area and wait the cooker body cool down or for quicker reducon of pressure, place cooker under cold running water
or li the pressure regulator to release steam. Pressure is completely reduced when the oang valve has dropped. If the
oang valve remains in its raised posion, there may sll be pressure inside the pressure cooker. Connue to cool unl
the oang valve drops. (If the oang valve is sll not fell down, may be scked by food, it can be used chopscks to press
it down.) Aer pressure has been completely reduced, remove the pressure regulator to conrm all steam drained, rotate
the lid handle count-clockwise to open the lid. Always remove the pressure regulator before opening the lid.
WARNING: Do not hold the pressure regulator to release pressure. (Risk of injuries! Hot steam/liquid will be ejected.)
Keep hands and face away from steam vent pipe, use cooker handles when removing the cooker or touching any hot
items, and never force the lid open. The lid will only open once the pressure is released. Remove the lid by liing it away
from you to avoid being burned by the steam.

VI. CLEANING/MAINTENANCE
1. Cleaning
Once cook has nished, take the food out of the cooker. Aer the unit has cooled, remove the lid, clean the cooker in case
that the food, especially acidic food, erodes in the cooker. Do not use hard things to clean the body.
2. Vent pipe and Block-proof cover:
Aer each use, turn the lid over and place on a table top, then pull out the block-proof cover and clean it with water, if
necessary, use a pin or something similar to clean the hole to ensure that there are not any food or foreign parcles that
may be lodged in the vent pipe and block-proof cover.
3. Safety valve:
Every pressure cooker is equipped with safety valve, make sure both are workable before use cooker each me. Clean the
base of the safety valve inside of the lid, check that it is working correctly by pressing lightly on the valve, which should
give way easily. If not, replace with spare parts.
4. Change the Sealing ring
Make sure that you buy the correct gasket for your model. Aer the pressure cooker is used, the sealing ring should be
washed with hot water or detergent. Soak it in soapy water for a few seconds, then put it in posion. Be careful not to
fold or deform the sealing ring. Never shorten the gasket. If there are aws on the sealing ring, or the sealing ring become
old, please replace a new ring.
5. Floang valve
Push down the rod with one hand; push the oang valve upward with the forenger of the other hand to see if the
oang valve works freely. If not, wash the oang valve assembly with water directly or dismantle the lid handle and
then wash it. Replace it with oang valve assembly if necessary.
6. How to replace the components in the lid handle If replacement is necessary, please insert spring rst into the end of
the push rod. Then put them both in the sliding groove of the lid handle. Finally screw the lid handle and the lid together.
7. Storage of your Pressure Cooker
Aer use, clean and dry the cooker to keep. Turn the lid upside down on the body to ensure that pressure cooker lasts as
long as possible.
