WARNING: Danger of Scalding. Please use caution when using
the pressure cooker. The steam emitted from this aperture is
very hot.
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance
is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a
grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug illustrated at
right. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having
the same configuration as the plug. No adaptor should be used
with this appliance.
1. If it is necessary to use an
extension cord, use only a 3-wire
extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug and a 3-slot
receptacle that will accept the plug
on the appliance. The marked
rating of the extension cord should
be equal to or greater than the
electrical rating of the appliance.
OR
2. Do not use an extension cord. If
the power cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician or serviceman
install an outlet near the appliance.
Please Note:
1. A short power supply cord is provided
to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
2. Extension cords may be used is care
is exercised in their use.
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used,
(1) the marked electrical rating of the
cord set or extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance, (2) the extension cord
must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord,
and (3) the longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over
the countertop or tabletop where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over
accidentally.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Releasing Steam Pressure
WARNING: Use extreme caution when
removing the cover after cooking. Serious
burns can result from steam inside.
After you have finished cooking in your
pressure cooker, you can release the
steam pressure in one of three (3) ways,
“Quick Release” , “Combination” and
“Normal”.
Quick Release Method:
1. After the cooking process has been
completed, press the “Keep
Warm/Cancel” button to stop the
pressure cooker from going into the
“Keep Warm” mode.
2. Turn the steam release valve to the
“Open” position to release the steam
fast. (Fig. 8)
3. Wait until the safety float valve has
gone down before removing the cover.
Always lift the cover away from you to
release any remaining steam so that
you do not get burned.
CAUTION: Escaping steam is very hot.
To avoid serious injuries or burns, keep
bare skin, face and eyes away from the
steam release valve.
CAUTION: Do not use the quick release
method for foods with a lot of liquid
such as soups and sauces. There could
be an overflow.
Combination Method:
1. After the cooking process has been
completed, press the “Keep
Warm/Cancel” button to stop the
pressure cooker from going into the
“Keep Warm” mode.
2. Let the unit cool down for approx. thirty
(30) minutes and then turn the steam
release valve to the “Open” position to
release the steam. (Fig. 8)
3. Wait until the safety float valve has
gone down before removing the cover.
Always lift the cover away from you to
release any remaining steam so that
you do not get burned.
Normal Method:
Allowing the steam to release naturally is
preferred when cooking foods like stocks,
sauces, and certain large cuts of meat
which will benefit from continuing to cook
in the pressure cooker. As the
temperature decreases so does the
pressure.
1. After the cooking process has been
completed, press the “Keep
Warm/Cancel” button to stop the
pressure cooker from going into the
“Keep Warm” mode.
2. Wait until the safety float valve has
gone down before removing the
cover. Always lift the cover away from
you to release any remaining steam
so that you do not get burned. (Fig. 9)
NOTE: Do not use this method with
foods that easily overcook.
CAUTION: Never attempt to force open
the pressure cooker cover until the
safety float valve has dropped.
NOTE: Since overcooked food cannot be
corrected, it is almost better to err on the
undercooked side by cooking an
unfamiliar food for a shorter period of
time than you may think necessary.
Fig. 8
Fig. 9
IMPORTANT: Do not use the “Quick
Release” method with foods such as
legumes, grain, or other foods that
froth or when the pressure cooker is
very full.
