This appliance has a grounded 3-prong plug. Connect to a properly grounded outlet only.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
Notes on the Cord
The provided short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) should
be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over
alongercord. Do not use an extension cord with this product.
Plasticizer Warning
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the nish of the counter top or
table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or place mats between the

Electric Power
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate
properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.
Notes on Steam Release Valve:
The steam release valve is used to regulate pressure inside the pressure cooker while
cooking. Small amounts of steam may escape during cooking, this is normal. Ensure
that the pressure cooker is not placed under overhanging cabinets or cup-boards
during cooking. Avoid reaching over the steam release valve when in use.The steam
release valve should always be on the ‘PRESSURE’ setting during cooking and after
cooking is complete change the setting to PRESSURE RELEASE before attempting
to open the lid. Ensure that your face and hands are away from the opening of the
pressure release valve to ensure that you do not get burnt or injured, the steam is
veryhot therefore extreme caution must be exercised when steam is being released.
Notes on Safety Locking Lid:
For your safety the lid will not come off when it is in the LOCK position.To open the
lid use the handle to turn the lid clock-wise to the UNLOCK position and lift-off the lid.
Always keep the lid in the locked position during cooking. When cooking is complete
rst turn the steam release valve to PRESSURE RELEASE position, wait for steam to
escape and then turn the handle clockwise to the UNLOCK position and lift the lid off
the unit. When removing the lid, remove it in such a manner that the steam is directed
away from you. Do this by allowing the top of the lid to face your direction, so steam

7. The pressure cooker will take a few minutes to build up pressure, once the required pressure is reached
the time will begin to count down. The cooking time is indicated on the digital display. If you wish you can
manually change the default time using the “+” and “-” buttons. The cooking time is manually adjustable
depending on the function selected.
8. During initial use, you may notice a slight odor due to the burning off of manufacturing residue.
This is completely normal, it does not affect the food being cooked and will disappear after a few uses.
NOTE: If the gasket is cracked or broken do NOT use it in the pressure cooker. Contact the customer
service and replace with a new gasket and assemble on aluminum cover as shown.
Delay Time
• Before selecting the cooking function press the DELAY TIMER key to add a cooking time delay. The delay
timer can be adjusted up to a maximum delay time of 2 hours. Continue to press the button until the desired
time delay is reached. The amount of time until the unit begins cooking will be displayed on the screen.
• Once the delay has been selected use the CONTROL PANEL to choose the desired cooking setting (i.e. rice,
soup, chicken, etc.), then press the DELAY TIMER to select the function.The cooking will begin once the time
delay has elapsed.
• Please note that once the cooking time has counted down, the time may not be adjusted. If more or less
cooking time is required. The cooking process must be cancelled and the timing must be reset to the
required/desired time.
• During set up and while cooking the “Keep warm/cancel” button can be pressed to cancel cooking.
• After cooking the unit will automatically engage “Keep Warm” mode. The “Keep warm/Cancel” buttoncanbe
pressed to cancel keep warm mode.
• Once the unit has completed the cooking cycle or the display has turned off before opening and removing the
lid, turn the pressure release valve to the PRESSURE RELEASE position as indicated on lid. Ensure that your
face and hands are away from the opening of the pressure release valve to ensure that you do not get burnt or
injured, the steam is very hot therefore extreme caution must be exercised when steam is being released.
• When cooking liquid foods such as soup or porridge wait for the unit to cool down before pressure is released.
• Switch off the appliance at the wall socket and remove the plug from the wall socket.
• Once all pressure has been released and the plug has been removed from the wall socket and there is no
longer any steam escaping from the steam release valve, the lid may be turned clockwise to be unlocked.
• When removing the lid, remove it in such a manner that the steam is directed away from you. Do this by
allowing the top of the lid to face your direction, the steam will deect against the inner surface of the lid.
Ensure you are positioned to the side of the unit without your face or hands over it. Use an oven glove
when removing the lid to reduce the chance of coming in contact with steam.
• Only use non-stick utensils to serve from the cooking pot as any hard utensils made from stainless steel
orsimilar materials could damage the non-stick surface of the inner cooking pot.

twice and the corresponding light will indicate the selected setting.
2X1X
NOTE: Sauté and Browning are the only two functions that operate without the lid. All other functions need
the lid to be secured. If the lid is not secured properly the pressure cooker will NOT operate.
Tips for Pressure Cooking
For additional avor, sauté or brown the meat before cooking it in the pressure cooker. Meats will not brown
during the cooking process. Browning fatty meats will reduce the amount of fat and help preserve color while
adding rich avor.
For uniform results, cut meat into pieces of uniform size to promote even cooking as large pieces of meat take
considerably longer to cook than smaller pieces
Because pressure cooker cooks in a closed, sealed pot there is less evaporation and therefore use less cooking
liquid than when cooking in a conventional pot.
Function Default Cooking Time
Sauté Stay ON (30 min.)
Browning Stay ON (30 min.)
Pressure Cook 30 min (Max 99 min.)
Slow Cook 4 h (Max 12 hrs.)
Soup 20 min.
Stew 30 min.
Meat 60 min.
Chicken 45 min.
Rice 20 min.
Risotto/Steam 25 min.
Warm Stay ON
Never ll the pressure cooker more than half way with liquid and never ll a pressure cooker more than
two-thirds full with food.
