Appliance surfaces are hot
during and after operation.
To prevent burns or personal
injury, always use protective
hot pads or insulated oven
mitts, or use handles or knobs
where available.
• Do not place the appliance near
the edge of a countertop or
table during operation. Ensure
that the surface is dry, level,
clean and free of any liquid and
other substances.
• Always operate the appliance
on a stable and heat resistant
surface. Do not use on a cloth-
covered surface and position
the appliance at a minimum
distance of 8 inches away from
walls, curtains, cloths and other
heat sensitive materials.
• Do not place this appliance
on or near a hot gas or electric
burner, or where it could touch
a heated oven or surface.

• Allow to cool before assembling
or moving parts.
• Always attach plug to appliance
first, then plug cord into the
power outlet.
• We recommend not to place the
cooker on a stone countertop
when it’s cooking. This is due
to countertops being sensitive
to uneven heat and may crack
if heated locally. If you would
like to cook with the pressure
cooker on the countertop, place
a chopping board or heat proof
mat underneath the cooker.
• Cooking appliances should
be positioned in a stable
situation with the handles (if
any) properly secured to avoid
spillage of the hot liquids.
• Do not place anything, other
than lid, on top of the cooker
when assembled, when in use
and when stored.
• Extreme caution must be used
when the cooker contains hot
food and liquids and/or is under
pressure. Improper use may
result in injury. When using this
appliance for pressure cook,
slow cook and steam, ensure the
lid is properly assembled and
locked into position before use.

• Do not move the cooker when
in use.
• Do not use the lid handle to
carry the appliance.
• Only use the side handles to
carry or move the appliance.
• Before placing removable
cooking bowl into the base
ensure the base of the bowl and
the base of the appliance is dry
by wiping with a dry soft cloth.
• Do not use a damaged
removable cooking bowl.
Replace before using.
• Do not place food or liquid
directly into the base. Only
the removable cooking bowl
is designed to contain food or
liquid.
• Never operate the cooker
without food and liquid in
the removable cooking bowl.
Ensure a combined minimum
of 4 cups (1 Liter) of food and/
or liquid when cooking. Using
less than 4 cups can result in
a reduction of pressurization.
This minimum quantity
level does not apply for
the LEGUMES and RICE |
GRAINS settings.
• Always ensure there is enough
liquid in the removable
cooking bowl when steaming.
At least 4 cups (1 Liter) of
liquid is required when
steaming.
• Do not exceed maximum fill
level. Some foods expand
during pressure cooking
such as rice, diced vegetables.
Over filling may cause a risk
of clogging pressure release
valve and safety locking pin
and develop excess pressure.
Always follow the maximum
and minimum quantities of
liquid stated in instructions
and recipes.
• Some food to avoid when
pressure cooking are: apple
sauce, cranberries, pearl
barley, oatmeal and other
cereals, noodles and pasta, and
rhubarb; these foods can foam,
froth and splatter and clog
the pressure release valve and
safety locking pin.
• Before use, always check
pressure release valve and
safety locking pin for clogging
and clean if necessary. Check
to make sure the safety locking
pin moves freely from under
the lid.

5
• Do not attempt to open the
cooker lid after pressure
cooking until all internal
pressure has been released
and is slightly cooled. If the
lid will not turn to unlock, this
indicates that appliance is

MANUAL PRESSURE COOK MODE
Pressure Cooking is a method of cooking
food in a small amount of liquid with a gasket
sealed lid that retains steam inside and builds
pressure. It is the increase in pressure that
raises temperature of the liquid and steam
inside to well above boiling point and therefore
allows food to be cooked up to 70% faster. This
means less energy is consumed and you will
enjoy substantial savings in both time and cost.
Because pressure cooked foods require very
little cooking liquid, more vitamins, minerals,
and other nutrients are retained, and the natural
flavors are enhanced.
1. To select the manual pressure, cook mode,
press and hold the PRESSURE COOK
button for 2 seconds.
2. Adjust the cooking pressure by using the
PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE (+/-) buttons.
Pressure can be adjusted from 1.5 psi (LOW)
to 12 psi (HIGH).
3. The figure on the LED screen indicates the
preset cooking time for the selected setting.
Adjust the cooking time by using the TIME
(+ / -) buttons (next to the 4-digit display)
to reduce the cooking time or increase the
cooking time. Time can be adjusted up to 2
hours.
4. Press the STEAM RELEASE button to select
between ‘NATURAL’ , ‘AUTO QUICK’, and
PULSE steam release.
5. Place food into the removable cooking
bowl. Ensure there is at least 4 cups (1L) of
combined food and liquid in the cooking
bowl.
6. Close the lid and turn the lid knob clockwise

HANDS- FREE VARIABLE STEAM
RELEASE
The Fast Slow GO™ features 3 steam
release methods:
Auto Quick
Pressure is released quickly to minimize
overcooking of food or recipes with short
cook times.
This is recommended only for food types that
do not expand or foam when boiling.
Pulse
Pressure is released in bursts to reduce
disturbance to the food inside.
This is recommended for food types that
generate small amount of foam or do not foam
at all when boiling.
Natural
Pressure naturally subsides inside without
releasing steam through the vent to prevent
the churning up or breaking apart of sensitive
ingredients like stocks and beans during
pressure release.
Natural pressure release mode is suitable for all
types of food recipes.
NOTE
Some food type (e.g. legumes) that are known
to generate excessive foam can only use 'Natu-
ral' Pressure release to prevent food spillage.
These can be selected using the STEAM
RELEASE button on the control panel
during the set up and STEAM RELEASE
cycles. Once selected, the Pressure Release
Valve will automatically release the steam at
the end of the pressure cooking cycle.
NOTE
The steam or pressure release mode pro-
grammed into each preset cooking modes are
selected for best results. Any changes to the
steam release mode may lead to food spillage.
CAUTION
Always keep hands and face clear of the
pressure release valve when pressure cooking
as hot steam and water may be emitted
during operation.
MANUAL SLOW COOK MODE
The SLOW COOK setting is designed for long
cook times at low temperatures. It is also ideal
for breaking down tough cuts of meat and
developing deep flavors.

TIPS FOR PRESSURE & SLOW COOKING
Soup
• The PRESSURE & SLOW COOK SOUP
setting is suitable for cooking a variety of
soups from light broths to hearty minestrone
to pureed vegetable soups.
• Use the SAUTÉ/SEAR settings to brown meat
and soften aromatics prior to cooking.
• To shorten the pressurizing time, add cold
water/stock to bowl while still in the SAUTÉ/
SEAR setting and allow the water to come to a
simmer before pressure cooking.
• Do not overfill the cooking bowl. The total
volume of soup should not exceed the
‘MAX’ level marking inside the removable
cooking bowl.
Stock
• The PRESSURE & SLOW COOK STOCK
setting is suitable for making all kinds of stock,
including chicken, beef and vegetable.
• To make a brown stock, use the SAUTÉ/SEAR
setting to brown bones and vegetables prior to
pressure or slow cooking.
• Vegetables such as onions, carrots and celery
should be cut into large pieces. This will help
keep the stock clear and make it easier to
strain at the end of cooking.

17
• To shorten the pressurizing time, add cold
water to bowl while still in the SAUTÉ/SEAR
setting and allow the water to come to a
simmer before pressure cooking.
• Do not overfill the cooking bowl. The total
volume of water, bones and/or aromatics
should not exceed the ‘MAX’ level marking
inside the removable cooking bowl.
Meat
• The PRESSURE & SLOW COOK MEAT
setting uses high temperature/pressure to
dissolve connective tissue, producing fork-
tender, succulent results. Sauces become
thick and well developed.
• Choose well-marbled cuts of meat for the best
flavor and texture.
• Cut larger pieces of meat into 2 or 3 pieces to
better fit the cooking bowl.
• Use the SAUTÉ/SEAR setting to brown
meat prior to cooking.
• Unlike traditional stewing or braising,
pressure and slow cooking have almost no
evaporation. For deeply flavored dishes,
use less liquid than called for in traditional
recipes, 1 – 1½ cups (240–360ml) maximum.
• Do not overfill the cooking bowl. The total
volume of uncooked ingredients should not
exceed the ‘MAX’ level marking inside the
removable cooking bowl.
Stew
• The PRESSURE & SLOW COOK STEW
setting is ideal for cooking ground meat, meat
sauces and hearty stews.
• Use the SAUTÉ/SEAR settings to brown
meat and soften aromatics prior to cooking.
• Unlike traditional stovetop methods,
pressure and slow cooking have almost no
evaporation. For thick, rich chilies and stews
use less liquid than called for in traditional
recipes. Use the REDUCE setting after
cooking to thicken foods that are too soupy.
• Do not overfill the cooking bowl. The total
volume of uncooked stew ingredients should
not exceed the ‘MAX’ level marking inside
the removable cooking bowl.
Legumes
• The PRESSURE & SLOW COOK LEGUMES
setting is suitable for cooking all types of
legumes , lentils and dried beans.
• Legumes and other beans can produce
a lot of foam during cooking. The preset
NATURAL steam release setting ensures
foam does not interfere with the steam
release valve.
• Cooking times are based on unsoaked
dried beans. To shorten the cooking time,
soak beans in cold water overnight. Discard
soaking water and cook with fresh cold water
for half of the preset cooking time.
• Use a ratio of 1-part beans to 3 parts water.
• Beans and legumes swell and double in size
after cooking. Do not overfill the cooking
bowl. The total volume of uncooked legumes
and water should not exceed the ‘½’ level
marking inside the removable cooking bowl.
Rice | Grains
• The PRESSURE COOK RICE setting is
designed to cook rice and grains, so they
remain separate and tender. It is suitable for
all types of rice such as long grain, jasmine,
basmati and brown rice.
• When pressure cooking brown rice, increase
the cooking time to 20 minutes.
• Measure or weigh dry rice accurately and
wash well with cold water until water runs
clear. Drain well and place into the removable
cooking bowl.
• Add corresponding water amount. For white
rice use 1.25 parts water to 1-part rice. For
brown rice use 1.5 parts water to 1-part rice.
Refer to the table below for more information.
• After cooking, allow rice to stand in bowl for
5 minutes before stirring and serving.
• Rice will swell and double in size after
cooking. Do not overfill the cooking bowl.
The total volume of uncooked rice and liquid
should not exceed the ‘½’ level marking
inside the removable cooking bowl.

Risotto
• The PRESSURE COOK RISOTTO setting is
ideal for making creamy risotto, without all
the stirring and in a fraction of the time.
• Use the SAUTÉ setting to soften onions
and other aromatics, as well as deglaze the
cooking bowl with wine.
• The key to creamy risotto is toasting the
rice grains before the liquid is added. Use
the SAUTÉ setting to toast the rice, stirring
frequently, for 3–5 minutes or until the edges
become transparent and then turn white.
• With little or no evaporation during pressure
cooking, it is important to keep to the ratio
of 1-part rice to 3 parts stock. If adding a lot
of vegetables to the risotto, reduce stock by
a third.
• Rice will swell and double in size after
cooking. Do not overfill the cooking bowl.
The total volume of uncooked rice and stock
should not exceed the ‘½’ level marking
inside the removable cooking bowl.
OTHER PRESET SETTINGS:
SAUTÉ/SEAR
This preset has three levels: low sauté, medium
sauté and sear.
The SAUTÉ setting is ideal for softening and
caramelizing garlic, onions or vegetables prior
to pressure or slow cooking.
The SEAR setting is designed to enhance and
deepen the taste of meals by using the same
cooking bowl for caramelizing and browning
foods before pressure or slow cooking.
REDUCE
This preset has three levels: low, medium
and high.
The REDUCE function is ideal for thickening
and intensifying the flavor of sauces, syrups and
stocks.
STEAM
The STEAM setting is ideal for steaming food
such as vegetables, fish fillets and dumplings.
When steaming for more than 30 minutes, it
is recommended to add 1 cup warm water into
the cooking bowl at 30 minute increments to
ensure consistent steaming performance.
To reduce condensation forming on the
outside surfaces of the lid and handle, it is
recommended to remove the pressure
release valve.
WARNING
If the lid will not unlock, this indicates the
appliance is still under pressure. Do not force
the lid open as any remaining pressure can
be hazardous. Press and hold the STEAM
RELEASE button to manually release steam
(refer to page 15 for manual and variable steam
release).
SOUS VIDE
The SOUS VIDE setting is ideal for cooking
food to a very precise temperature in a water
bath.
What is Sous Vide?
Sous Vide is a cooking technique that allows
you to cook food to the doneness you desire by
heating water to a set temperature. Food items
are placed in a heat-proof, food safe plastic bag,
that is submerged and cooked to your preferred
doneness without the risk of drying out through
over cooking.

19
What do you need to cook food with the
SOUS VIDE function?
Thick, heat-proof, food safe plastic bags.
Resealable zip-top bags will also work if the
cooking temperature is under 158°F (70°C).
Do I need to vacuum seal?
You do not need to vacuum seal bags for
SOUS VIDE, however, as much air as possible
needs to be removed from the bag, and water
prevented from entering the bag to provide
accurate food results. To use the water
displacement method, place food in a zip-top
bag with a double seal, then lower the bagged
food into a water filled container. Once most of
the air is out of the bag, carefully seal just above
the water line.
Is the lid open or closed?
To ensure consistent cooking temperatures,
the lid must be closed and in the locked
position during the sous vide function.
When do I sear?
You can sear items before or after cooking
with the SAUTÉ/SEAR function. If searing
prior to using the SOUS VIDE function, allow
time for resting and cooling overnight in the
refrigerator.
SOUS VIDE steps:
1. Fill cooking bowl with warm water until it
has reached the MAX line.
To reduce preheat time, start with water
close to your target temperature.
2. Press SOUS VIDE and set temperature and
time as desired. Close lid and press START
to begin heating water.
3. Place the food item or the produce in a
plastic Sous Vide or zip-top bag. If you do
not have specific Sous Vide sealed bag,
we recommend using a double-sealed
zip-top bag. Add aromatics like bay leaves,
rosemary, lemon slices or rind and oil as
desired.
4. When water has reached desired
temperature (machine will beep once),
carefully place bag into the water bath. If
bag floats, place stainless trivet upside down
over the bag to keep it fully submerged.
5. Close the lid and rotate to locked position,
but ensuring the pressure release valve is in
the open position.
6. When cooking time is completed, remove
bag from water bath.

YOGURT
How to use the yogurt shortcut auto program?
Plain Yogurt
Prep time: 10 minutes / Incubation: 5-8 hours
(plus up to 1 hour 30 minutes cooling)
1 quart / 1 Liter whole, homogenized milk
2 tbsp plain yogurt with live and active cultures
STEP 1 – Scald the Milk
Place the cooking bowl in the Fast Slow GO.
Add the milk. Close and lock the lid. Press
YOGURT then press START. The milk will heat
to 182°F (83°C) and hold at the temperature for
10 minutes.
STEP 2 – Cool the Milk
Open the lid and do not press any controls. The
cooling phase will automatically cool the milk to
110°F (43°C). First the word ‘COOL’ will appear
on the cooker screen.
At the end of the cooling time the cooker will
sound an alert when it has reached the correct
temperature, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
TIP
Cooling the milk with the lid open will result
in a skin forming on top. Removing this skin

20
before adding the starter will help to ensure a
smoother texture to the yogurt.
STEP 3 – Incubate the Yogurt
At the end of STEP 2, the word ‘ADD’ will
appear in the cooker screen. Place the yogurt
starter in a bowl. Add ½ cup of the cooled
milk and whisk until smooth. Whisk the milk
mixture into the cooled milk in the cooking
bowl. Close and lock the lid press START
to incubate for 5-8 hours. The longer it is
incubated the tangier the yogurt will be.
STEP 4 – Refrigerate
When the cooker sounds an alert that the
yogurt has finished incubating, remove
the cooking bowl, cover with plastic wrap
and refrigerate until cold. Once the yogurt
is completely cold, transfer to an airtight
container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
TIPS
• Using homogenized milk will produce a
smoother yogurt. If your result is slightly
lumpy and separated, whisk the cooled
yogurt gently to combine.
• To cool scalded milk faster, place cooking
bowl in a larger bowl of iced water, check
the temperature with a thermometer. When
the milk has reached 110°F (43°C), add ½
cup of the cooled milk to the yogurt starter,
whisk until smooth, then whisk in the mixture
and return the cooking bowl to the pressure
cooker.
• To increase tanginess of the yogurt, increase
the incubation time.
KEEP WARM
The KEEP WARM function maintains hot
food at safe serving temperature of 140°F
(60°C) or above for up to 6 hours at the end
of a cooking cycle. If using the KEEP WARM
function as a standalone, the feature can be
run for up to 24 hours.
• To use KEEP WARM as a standalone
function, press and hold the KEEP WARM
button on the control panel.
• The KEEP WARM function can be toggled
on and off in both PRESSURE COOK and
SLOW COOK using the KEEP WARM
button on the control panel. The ‘KEEP
WARM’ light is lit, and the timer will start
counting up to a maximum of 8 hours at the
end of a cooking cycle.
NOTE
To not compromise food quality, it is
recommended to use KEEP WARM function
no longer than 1-2 hours.
DELAY START
The Fast Slow GO™ has a timer function to
delay the start of cooking for up to 24 hours.
This timer function does not apply to the KEEP
WARM and STEAM functions.
The DELAY START function is disabled for the
MEAT food preset.
CAUTION
Never allow meat, poultry, seafood, eggs
or other foods that require refrigeration to
sit at room temperature for more than two
hours. Bacteria quickly multiplies in warm
