INTRODUCTION

• It’s a myth that different tastes are detected on different regions of our tongues. As
you chew, hot foods cool in your mouth increasing the taste intensity. The taste
receptors on our tongues are most active when foods are between 86°-95°F.
• Pressure cooking is 70% faster than traditional stovetop cooking methods.
• Pressure cooking creates moist heat and raises the boiling point of liquids, so moisture
stays locked into food longer.
• High altitudes affect pressure cooking. If you live in high-altitude areas, a general
rule of thumb is to increase cooking times by 5% for every 1,000 feet above a
2,000-foot elevation.

WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug
is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt
to modify the plug in any way or force it into the outlet. This could result in injury or electric
shock.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of entanglement or tripping
over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply
extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The 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 unintentionally.
POWER CORD SAFETY TIPS
1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the power cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found,
this indicates that the appliance should be serviced, and the power cord replaced. Please
return it to an authorized service representative or contact Chefman Customer Service
for assistance.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the
cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF
APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

WHAT IS PRESSURE COOKING?
During the pressure cooking process food is cooked in pressurized steam at an above normal boiling
temperature, cooking food quicker than traditional stovetop methods. At the end of the process the
pressure needs to be released and can be done so two ways:
Natural pressure release- Letting the pressure inside the pot drop on its own. Short natural releases
are good for starchy foods that can froth and bubble like pasta and beans.
Quick release- Moving the pressure release valve to release the steam all at once.
Refer to page 6 for more details.
BEFORE FIRST USE
• Remove all packing materials from the inside and outside of the Multi-Cooker. Be sure to
check that all parts and accessories are included before tossing out any packaging.
• Gently wipe down exterior with a damp cloth or paper towel. Never immerse the
Multi-Cooker, its base, cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
• Wash all removable parts, except for the power cord and plug, with a sponge and warm, soapy
water. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or scouring pads. The gasket, rice spoon, condensation
cup, measuring cup and cooking pot are top-rack dishwasher safe. Dry all parts thoroughly.
• Read all instructions and follow them carefully.

REMOVING AND SECURING THE GASKET
To remove the gasket to clean it:
1. Remove the lid and turn it upside down.
2. Pull gasket away from the metal ring until it is fully removed.
To secure the gasket back on:
1. Remove the lid and turn it upside down and place the inside of the gasket onto the gasket
holder. It should be positioned between the gasket holder and the inner edge of the lid.
2. Continue pushing the gasket onto the gasket holder while rotating the lid. It is fully secured
when all parts of the gasket holder sit flush against the inside of the gasket.
SETTING UP THE MULTI-COOKER
