IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
THE ULTRA COOKER IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
Before using your Carico Ultra Cooker for the first time, be sure to read and carefully fol-
low all of the instructions shown in this Owner’s Manual. Carefully unpack your electric
cooker and remove all packing material. Wash the interior pot thoroughly before using for
the first time and wipe the exterior base with a dry, soft cloth. We recommend cleaning
the inner pot with 1/4 cup of vinegar to 2 cups of water to remove any possible manufac-
turing oils or dirt. Always dry outside of cooker completely before connecting plug.
It is important that each time you use the Ultra Cooker, that basic safety precautions be
observed:
READ all instructions carefully before using the cooker. This appliance cooks under pres-
sure. Steam pressure is very powerful. Improper use may result in scalding injury. Make
sure the cooker is properly closed before operating.
NEVER leave the Ultra Cooker unattended or place it near water, fire, or underneath kitchen
cabinets while cooking. EXTREME CAUTION and close supervision is absolutely neces-
sary when your cooker is in use, especially, if children are within reach or in the vicinity.
NEVER use the Ultra Cooker if the gasket is not installed properly. To re-install the gasket,
the arrows must be pointing “up” and snugly pressed into the lid grooves. The rubber gas-
ket seal and the steam vent tube are the critical parts of this appliance. Make sure that the
gasket is clean, and do not use the cooker if the gasket is ripped, torn, sticky, brittle or
shows any signs of wear, cracking or tears. Be sure that the steam vent tube is clean and
clear, not clogged with food. Be sure to check these valves for clogging before each use.
NEVER fill the stainless steel removable cooking pot over two-thirds (2/3) full including liq-
uid and food. When cooking foods that foam or expand during cooking, such as rice or
dried beans do not fill the cooker over one-half (1/2) full. To reduce foaming add one table-
spoon of oil (olive, vegetable, etc.) The interior pot has been conveniently marked with
cup/metric measurements.
NEVER operate cooker under pressure without any liquid inside or allow cooker to a point
where the liquids boil dry. Manufacturer recommends at least 1 cup of liquid.
The digital function recommends the length of time required. This time can be changed,
however, be careful not to overcook the contents. You may override the cooking time by
pressing “cancel” then press the timer button and “+” or “–” for the desired cooking time,
then press start.
