Crock-Pot's Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR MULTI
COOKER.
• Do not plug in or switch on the unit without
having the cooking pan inside the unit.
• Do not operate the unit on an inclined surface
• Use your unit well away from walls and
curtains, and don’t use in confined spaces.
• Check the pressure and steam release valve
before use, and if clogged clean as necessary.
• Do not operate the unit without food or
liquid in the cooking pan. Never exceed the
maximum markings on the inside of the
cooking pan, or maximum and minimum
quantities stated in the recipes provided.
Some foods expand during cooking, and it
may result in developing excess pressure.
• Place the unit so that the pressure and steam
release valve is positioned away from the
body.
• Ensure the lid is locked before use. Brown/
Sauté function does not require the lid to be
used.
• Never use any lid except the lid provided with
your Express Crock.
• Never place any part of the body including
face, hands and arm over the Steam Release
Valve. Steam can result in serious burns.
• Do not move or cover the unit whilst in
operation
• Do not touch any metal surfaces of the unit
while it is in use as they will be hot.
• After pressure cooking, do not open the
lid until the internal pressure has been
released. If the lid will not turn to unlock,
this is because there is pressure inside the
unit. Do not force the lid open.
• Do not cook more than 4 cups of dried
beans/legumes with 8 cups of water.
Cooking with more beans or water may
result in the build up of excess pressure.
Leave for ten minutes after cooking before
releasing the pressure valve.
• Be careful when lifting and removing lid after
cooking. Always tilt the lid away from you as
steam is hot and can result in serious burns.
Never place face over the unit.
• The pressure cooker operates under
pressure. Incorrect use may result in injury.
• Use handles and oven mitts to move the unit,
the cooking pan and the lid when hot.
• Unplug the unit when not in use and before
cleaning. Allow the unit to cool before putting
on or taking off parts to clean.
• Certain foods are not suited for pressure
cooking as they can foam, froth, splatter and
clog the pressure and steam release valve.
Noodles, macaroni, spaghetti, cranberry,
apple sauce, rhubarb, split peas, pearl barley,
oatmeal and other cereals should not be
cooked with pressure cook mode.
• Do not immerse the base of the unit in water
or any other liquid.
• Do not use the cooking pan for food storage
or place in the freezer.
• To prevent damage to the unit do not use
alkaline cleaning agents when cleaning, use a
soft cloth and a mild detergent.
• Do not operate the unit when placed directly
onto a bench top. Place a heat proof mat or
chopping board underneath to protect the
surface.
• Avoid spillage on the connector.
• The heating element surface is subject to
residual heating after use.
• Misuse may potentially cause injury or
physical damage to the user.

Time Delay Function
This Multi-Cooker allows you to delay the
start of your cooking so that cooking finishes
when you need it.
•Adjust the Multi-Cooker settings using the
instructions on pages 9-17.
•After setting the cooking time, press the
DELAY TIMER button. The DELAY TIMER
and START/STOP buttons will flash, and
“0:30” will flash on the Display Screen,
to indicate the Multi-Cooker is being
programmed on the delay setting.
•Press the + and - buttons until you reach
the number of hours and minutes you want
the cooking process to be delayed (i.e., set
the amount of time you wish to delay the
cooking cycle). The maximum delay is 4
hours.
•Press START/STOP button to begin the
delay feature. The timer and DELAY TIMER
button will stop flashing, while the START/
STOP button will continue flashing. This will
indicate that the Multi-Cooker has been set
on the DELAY TIMER setting. The Display
Screen will countdown the delay time until
0:00 is reached. When 0:00 is reached,
the DELAY TIMER light will turn off and
the START/STOP light will stop flashing to
show that time delay has finished. The word
“HEAt” will appear on the display screen
until the Multi-Cooker is fully pressurized.
When the selected pressure has been
reached, the timer will start counting down.
Example:
It’s 4pm and you want to have a soup cooked
and ready in 2 hours’ time for dinner at 6pm.
You want to set the machine now so you are
free to do other things.
The Pressure Cook function (if unchanged)
will cook for 30 minutes at HIGH pressure.
Time to gain pressure varies according to
humidity and water temperature, but let’s
assume it takes 15 minutes to gain pressure.
Therefore total time is 45 minutes. To have
the soup ready by 6pm, you will need to delay
the start of your cooking by approximately 1
hour and 15 minutes.
1. Press PRESSURE COOK
2. The Display Screen will flash “0:30”
3. Press the DELAY TIMER button and set for
“1:15”
4. Press START/STOP
Note: The DELAY TIMER function is not
available on the BROWN/SAUTÉ, KEEP
WARM, or YOGURT settings.
Note: Do not use the DELAY TIMER function
when the recipe has perishable ingredients
such as meat, fish, eggs, or dairy, as these
may spoil.

Inside the removable Cooking Pot are
markings to guide the fill level of the Cooking
Pot. The word MAX indicates the maximum
fill line.
The 1/3, 1/2, and 2/3 markings are handy
guides to use in your recipes.
Foods that expand
during cooking (e.g.
rice) should never go
above the 1/2 mark.
Pressure cooking is an ideal way to create
quick, flavorful meals. Pressure cooking is
a method of cooking food in liquid (water,
stock, wine, etc.) in a sealed Cooking Pot. The
sealed Multi-Cooker retains steam and builds
pressure, raising the temperature of the
liquid inside the pot above boiling point. The
increased temperature of the liquid and the
steam results in reduced cooking times.
HIGH Pressure Setting is 6.5 - 10 PSI (45 - 70
kPa). It is suitable for a wide range of foods.
LOW Pressure Setting is 3.3 - 6.5 PSI (23 - 45
kPa). It is more suited to delicate foods like
chicken fillet, fish and some vegetables.
KEEP WARM Setting: When cooking time is
completed, the Multi-Cooker automatically
switches to the KEEP WARM setting to
prevent overcooking and to keep your cooked
food warm until serving - perfect for busy
families, those on the run and those who
need flexible meal times. This setting is not
hot enough to cook and should only be used
to keep warm, cooked food for serving.
Ideal Meals to Pressure Cook: Soups, stocks,
casseroles, sauces (e.g. pasta sauces), meat,
rice, firm vegetables (beetroot, potatoes) and
desserts (e.g., pudding).
Capacity: Never fill the Cooking Pot above the
MAX line. Foods that expand during cooking
should never go above the 1/2 mark. The
Multi-Cooker cannot pressure cook without
liquid. Ensure a minimum of 250ml of liquid is
used inside the removable Cooking Pot.
Cooking Pot Markings
Pressure Cooking
Note: The Multi-Cooker cannot pressure
cook without liquid. Ensure a minimum of
250ml of liquid is used inside the removable
Cooking Pot.
Note: There are 8 functions which use
pressure to cook. These are Meat/Stew,
Beans/Chili, Rice/Risotto, Poultry, Dessert,
Multigrain, Pressure Cook and Steam.
CAUTION: Never load the Cooking Pot above
the maximum ingredient level line marked
MAX on the inside of the Cooking Pot.
IMPORTANT: Do not cook more than 4
cups of dried beans/legumes with 8 cups of
water. Cooking with more beans or water
than this may result in the build up of excess
pressure. Wait at least 10 minutes after
cooking before releasing the pressure valve.

Place the Multi-Cooker on a flat, level surface.
Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug
the Multi-Cooker into a wall outlet. The Multi-
Cooker will beep, and the Display Screen will
illuminate with four dashes (- - - -).
•Place your food and liquid inside the
removable Cooking Pot.
•Place the Lid onto the Multi-Cooker
and align with . To lock, rotate
counterclockwise to the LOCKED
position.
•Using the finger tab, rotate the Steam
Release Valve to the “Seal” position.
•Select the desired cooking function
•Adjust the cooking time and pressure if
necessary.
•Once you have made the desired
adjustments, if any, press START/STOP.
•The Multi-Cooker needs to gain pressure
before pressure cooking can begin. When
the Multi-Cooker is gaining pressure,
“HEAt” will appear on the Display Screen
and the time will not count down. The
amount of time the Multi-Cooker takes to
gain pressure varies according to humidity
and water temperature, but average
pressurization time is 5-30 minutes. When
pressure has been reached, “HEAt” will
disappear on the Display Screen, and the
time will begin to count down.
•After the set cooking time has elapsed,
the Multi-Cooker will beep and will
automatically switch to the KEEP WARM
setting. The Display Screen will therefore
change from the cook time to a new timer
that will count up to 4:00 (4 hours) or until
you press the START/STOP button. After
4 hours in the KEEP WARM setting, the
Multi-Cooker will go into stand-by mode,
and the Display Screen will illuminate with
four dashes (----).
TIP:
•The pressure cooking settings are in the
Cooking Guide table on page 13.
•If the lid is not shut correctly or if the
Steam Release Valve is not in the “Seal”
position, the Multi-Cooker cannot gain
pressure and an Notification message will
appear in the Display Screen. Ensure that
the Sealing Gasket is placed evenly in the
lid. See the Notification Codes chart on
page 22.
•It is common for some steam to release
through the Bobber Valve during the
cooking cycle. This is part of normal
operation of the unit.
Note: Foam may naturally form when
pressure cooking beans or legumes. Add
a small amount of oil to the water before
cooking to reduce this.
Using the Pressure Cooking functions
Note: The Multi-Cooker cannot pressure
cook without liquid. Ensure a minimum of
250ml of liquid is used inside the removable
Cooking Pot.
Note: See the Cooking Guide on page 13
to find the possible time and pressure
adjustments.
Caution: During cooking, steam will build
up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the
lid use an oven glove to protect your hands.
CPE200_18EM3.indd 10 4/10/18 14:19

Natural Pressure Release Method:
After cooking cycle is complete, let Multi-
Cooker naturally release pressure through
the Bobber Valve. Unit will gradually cool
down on its own. Wait at least 10 minutes
after cooking has completed. If using a higher
volume of food and liquid, this can take up to
20 minutes. And then, using a kitchen utensil,
gradually flick the tab on the Steam Release
Valve to the “Release” position (see Figure 4).
Do not place any part of your hand or body
over the steam outlet on top of the valve, as
steam is very hot and can scald skin. The
pressure has been released when steam is
no longer escaping from the valve and the Lid
opens freely with minimal force. Only then is it
safe to remove the Lid and serve food.
Quick Pressure release method should be
used with caution:
Using a kitchen utensil, gradually flick the tab
on the Steam Release Valve to the “Release”
setting (see Figure 4). Steam will release
rapidly from the Steam Release Valve. Do
not place any part of your hand or body over
the steam outlet on the top of the valve, as
steam is very hot and can scald skin. Use
this method with caution when cooking liquid
ingredients such as casseroles, soups, stocks,
beans and pulses. Never use this method
when cooking rice, as rice tends to be very
delicate. The pressure has been released
when steam is no longer escaping from the
valve and the Lid opens freely with minimal
force. Only then is it safe to remove the Lid
and serve food.

CAUTION: Do not force the Lid to open. If
it does not open easily this means that the
Multi-Cooker is still under pressure.
CAUTION: During cooking, steam will build
up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the
Lid use a kitchen glove or mitt to protect
your hand.

LOW Setting: This is suitable for simmering
and slow cooking. Recommended cooking
times in LOW are from 6 to 8 hours.
HIGH Setting: This is for faster cooking.
Recommended cooking times in HIGH are
from 2 to 4 hours.
KEEP WARM Setting: When cooking time is
completed, the Multi-Cooker automatically
switches to the KEEP WARM setting to
prevent overcooking and to keep your cooked
food warm until serving - perfect for busy
families, those on the run and those who
need flexible meal times. This setting is not
hot enough to cook and should only be used
to keep hot, cooked food warm for serving.
The SLOW COOK function does not use
pressure in the cooking process, but some
pressure can build inside the unit during
cooking. When using this function, ensure
the Steam Release Valve is in the “Release”
position. This function will cook similarly
to standard slow cookers, using lower
temperatures and longer cooking times to
achieve tender, flavorful meals.
Place the Multi-Cooker on a flat, level
surface.
Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug
the Multi-Cooker into a wall outlet. The Multi-
Cooker will beep, and the Display Screen will
illuminate with four dashes (- - - -).

3. Using the finger tab, rotate the Steam
Release Valve to the “Release” position.
4. Press the SLOW COOK button and adjust
the time and temperature as needed.
5. Press START/STOP. The time will begin to
count down.
6. After the set cooking time has elapsed,
the Multi-Cooker will beep and will
automatically switch to the KEEP WARM
setting. The Display Screen will therefore
change from the cook time to a new timer
that will count up to 4:00 (4 hours) or until
you press the START/STOP button. After
4 hours in the KEEP WARM setting, the
Multi-Cooker will turn off.
Slow Cooking
Using the SLOW COOK Function
Caution: During slow cooking, steam may
build up in the Multi-Cooker, so when
lifting the Lid use a kitchen glove or mitt to
protect your hand.
Note: When slow cooking, the ideal fill level
for your ingredients is between the 1/2 and
2/3 marks. Never fill the Cooking Pot above
the MAX line.
Note: See the Cooking Guide on page 13
to find the possible time and temperature
adjustments.
TIP: The SLOW COOK settings are in the
Cooking Guide on page 13.
Note: Although this setting will not use
pressure in the cooking process, some
pressure can build inside the unit during
cooking. This is why it’s important to keep

cooking setting. When steaming, use the
Steaming Rack.
Capacity:
When the Multi-Cooker is used with the
STEAM function, the maximum capacity of
liquid should be just under the rack wires, so
that the liquid is not touching the food.
Steaming
Note: The unit cannot pressure cook without
liquid. Ensure a minimum of 250ml of liquid
is used inside the removable Cooking Pot.
•Place the Multi-Cooker on a flat, level
surface.
•Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base.
Plug the Multi-Cooker into a wall outlet.
The Multi-Cooker will beep, and the Display
Screen will illuminate with four dashes (- -
- -).
•Add 250ml of water to the bottom of the
removable Cooking Pot and insert the
cooking rack. Ensure water is just under
the wires of the rack so that food is not
touching water.
•Place your food on the cooking rack.
•Place the Lid on and lock by rotating
counterclockwise to the LOCKED
position.
•Using the finger tab, flick the Steam
Release Valve to the “Seal” position.
•Press the STEAM button and adjust the
time and pressure as needed.
Note: See the Cooking Guide on page 13
to find the possible time and pressure
adjustments.
•Once you have made the desired
adjustments, if any, press START/STOP.
•The Multi-Cooker needs to gain pressure
before pressure cooking can begin. When
the Multi-Cooker is gaining pressure,
“HEAt” will appear on the Display Screen
and the time will not count down. When
pressure has been reached, “HEAt” will
disappear on the Display Screen, and the
time will begin to count down.
•After the set cooking time has elapsed,
the Multi-Cooker will beep and will
automatically switch to the KEEP WARM
setting. The Display Screen will therefore
change from the cook time to a new timer
that will count up to 4:00 (4 hours) or until
you press the START/STOP button. After
4 hours in the KEEP WARM setting, the
Multi-Cooker will turn off.
Using the STEAM Function
CAUTION: During cooking, steam will build
up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the
Lid use a kitchen glove or mitt to protect
your hand.
TIP: See the Steaming Chart on page 15.

This setting does not cook under pressure. It
works similarly to standard cooking, requiring
dry heat, and therefore does not need the Lid.
Place the Multi-Cooker on a flat, level
surface.
Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug
the Multi-Cooker into a wall outlet. The Multi-
Cooker will beep, and the Display Screen will
illuminate with four dashes (- - - -).
•Select the BROWN/SAUTÉ function
and adjust the time and temperature if
necessary, using the + and - buttons.
•Press START/STOP.
•When the Multi-Cooker is pre-heating,
“HEAt” will appear on the Display Screen.
When the temperature has been reached,
the timer will start counting down. Using
plastic tongs, carefully add your food to the
hot pot.
BROWN/SAUTÉ can be used for each of the
following:
A.Brown (sear) meats for casseroles and
soups. Browning meat prior to pressure
cooking and slow cooking not only gives
your food great color, but it also seals in
the juices and flavors and keeps the meat
tender.
B.Sauté onions or mirepoix (mixture of
chopped onion, carrot, and celery), among
many other foods, often used in pressure
cooker and slow cooker recipes. Sautéing
onions allows caramelization which
contributes to flavor and color in the end
dish.
Capacity:
When the Multi-Cooker is used to brown or
sauté it may be best to cook in batches to
ensure the food is evenly cooked.
When cooking rice, use the RICE/RISOTTO
function. This is suitable for all types of rice,
including white and/or brown rice.
The RICE/RISOTTO function cooks under
pressure for faster cooking.
Capacity:
Since rice expands during cooking, do not fill
Cooking Pot above the 1/2 mark when using
the RICE/RISOTTO function.
Using the BROWN/SAUTÉ Function
Rice Cooking
Important: Do not use the Lid with this
function.

Place the Multi-Cooker on a flat, level
surface.
Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug
the Multi-Cooker into a wall outlet. The Multi-
Cooker will beep, and the Display Screen will
illuminate with four dashes (- - - -).
•Measure the desired quantity of rice.
•Place the measured rice in a strainer
and wash rice thoroughly under cold
water. Wash until the water runs clear.
This removes excess starch which helps
to achieve fluffier rice, and prevents rice
grains sticking to the Cooking Pot. Rinsing
the rice reduces the build-up of starchy
water and bubbles that sometimes form
around the Valve Cover and Lid, which can
cause spitting from the Steam Release
Valve.
•Ensure the Cooking Pot is clean and dry
before placing it inside the Heating Base.
•Place the washed rice in the Cooking Pot.
Add the quantity of water needed for your
recipe (Standard ratio -- 1 cup of uncooked
rice : 1.5 cups of water). Ensure that a
minimum of 250ml of liquid is placed
inside the removable Cooking Pot.
•Place the Lid on and lock by rotating
counterclockwise to the LOCKED
position.
•Using the finger tab, flick the Steam
Release Valve to the “Seal” position.
•Press the RICE/RISOTTO button and adjust
the time and pressure as needed.
•Once you have made the desired
adjustments, if any, press START/STOP.
•The Multi-Cooker needs to gain pressure
before pressure cooking can begin. When
the Multi-Cooker is gaining pressure,
“HEAt” will appear on the Display Screen
and the time will not count down. When
pressure has been reached, “HEAt” will
disappear on the Display Screen, and the
time will begin to count down.
•After the set cooking time has elapsed,
the Multi-Cooker will beep and will
automatically switch to the KEEP WARM
setting. The Display Screen will therefore
change from the cook time to a new timer
that will count up to 4:00 (4 hours) or until
you press the START/STOP button. After
4 hours in the KEEP WARM setting, the
Multi-Cooker will turn off.
Using the RICE/RISOTTO Function
Note: See the Cooking Guide on page 13
to find the possible time and pressure
adjustments.
Note: 1 cup uncooked white rice = 2 cups
of cooked white rice (approximately). 1 cup
uncooked brown rice = 2 cups cooked brown
rice (approximately).
Caution: During cooking, steam will build
up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the
Lid use a kitchen glove or mitt to protect
your hand.
Note: Do not keep rice in the pot for
extended periods of time on the KEEP
WARM setting, as the rice will become dry
and the quality will deteriorate. Use the
supplied plastic spoon to stir and serve the
rice. Do not use metal utensils, as these will
scratch the non-stick coating.
Note: As rice grains can be delicate, at
the end of cooking wait until the pressure
releases naturally. Do not use the Quick
Pressure Release Method (see page 11
for instructions on the Natural Pressure
Release Method).
Note: Standard ratio for cooking rice -- 1
cup of uncooked rice : 1.5 cups of water.
