OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before first use hand wash lid, inner pot, steam rack and
rubber gasket with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
Before each use check anti-block shield (found under lid),
floating air valve and pressure valve are free from obstruction.
Ensure pressure valve is in sealing position when using all
pressure functions.
Ensure inner chamber of appliance is free of food or any other
substances before placing pot inside.
To open lid, use handle to turn clockwise and then lift. The
inner pot may rise with lid for a moment.
To close the lid, use the handle to turn counter-clockwise until
lid locks into place.
Attach condensation collector by locking it into place.
To safely open lid after cooking there are two methods:
1. Ensure the cooking function has completed and appliance
is in ‘Keep Warm’ mode. Turn pressure valve to venting
position. This will release steam until floating air valve drops
down. The lid can be opened once floating air valve drops.
Take extreme care when using this method. Hot steam will
be released very quickly. Keep your face and hands away
from vent. It is recommended to use tongs to turn release
handle. This option is not suitable when cooking liquid foods
such as soup, or starchy foods such as porridge, as food
content may be released with steam. Do not force lid open –
lid will remain locked until the floating air valve drops.
2. Ensure the cooking function has completed and the
appliance is in ‘Keep Warm’ mode. Allow appliance to cool
down naturally, until floating air valve drops. This may take
15 minutes. Placing a damp towel over appliance can speed
up process. Once the floating air valve has dropped, turn
steam release handle to venting position before opening. Do
not force lid open – lid will remain locked until the floating
air valve drops.

PROGRAM SETTINGS
Time will begin to count down once set temperature has
been reached. Preheat time will depend on the quantity and
temperature of food / water inside the inner pot. Preheating
time can range between 10 and 40 minutes. During this time it
is normal for traces of steam to be released from the machine.
Once set temperature has been reached, and the machine
is in a pressurised state, steam should no longer gush from
appliance. Small releases of steam and ‘spluttering’ are
normal. Low clicking noises are also normal as heating
elements adjust.
TEMPERATURE AND TIME ADJUSTMENT
Adjusted and Preset Time need to be within the Time Range for
the Function selected. Refer to table above.
To adjust time select cooking function – e.g. Slow Cook.
Default time will appear automatically. To adjust time, press
Time/Temp key, then +/- button to set desired time.
To preset time for scheduled cooking select Preset Time,
use +/- buttons to set desired time, then select your cooking
method. The preselected time will appear after approximately
10 seconds.
Temperature adjustment is only available on saute and sous
vide function. Simply select fuction, press time/temp key until
temp appears, then +/- button to desired temperature.
WARM/CANCEL
Pressing this key while a program is running will end the
program and revert appliance to standby mode.
Pressing this key while in standby mode will activate the ‘Keep
Warm’ function for up to 8 hours.
1. SLOW COOK
Use appliance as a slow cooker for meals such as lamb
shanks and curries.
2. SAUTÉ
The sauté function requires lid to be open. Sauté, brown or
simmer meats and vegetables.
3. YOGHURT
Use your favourite yoghurt recipe to create healthy
yoghurts at home.
4. SOUS VIDE
The sous vide function requires lid to be open. Sous-vide
requires food to be sealed in vacuum pouches before
being cooked in a water bath. Simply place food in a food
safe snap-lock bag and seal leaving a small section open.
Slowly lower bag into bowl of water until only the unsealed
section remains above the water. Water pressure will
remove air from bag, sealing it around food.
Then, close bag completely to vacuum seal. Consult a
recipe for temperatures and cooking times appropriate for
specific foods.
5. STEAM
Pour ½ cup water into inner pot and secure steam rack.
It is recommended to use lid opening method 1 (see
Operating Instructions) to release steam and remove
the lid once cooking is complete – allowing appliance to
cool naturally may overcook your food. Exercise extreme
caution when releasing steam using method 1.
6. PASTA
Pour water into inner pot and add pasta once ideal
temperature has been reached.
7. PRESSURE FUNCTION – RICE
Fill inner pot with appropriate rice to water ratio. Cooking
time will adjust according to rice quantity. Ensure lid is
locked securely in place and steam release handle is in
sealing position.
8. PRESSURE FUNCTION - BEAN/CHILLI
Follow your favourite recipe for Chilli Con Carne, or make a
simple bean dish. Ensure lid is locked securely in place and
steam release handle is in sealing position.
9. PRESSURE FUNCTION – CANNING
Follow your favourite canning recipe. Ensure lid is locked
securely in place and steam release handle is in sealing
position.
10. PRESSURE FUNCTION - MEAT/POULTRY
Use time key to adjust cooking time depending on type and
quantity of meat. Ensure lid is locked securely in place and
steam release handle is in sealing position.
11. PRESSURE FUNCTION - SOUP/PORRIDGE
Adjust cooking time as necessary according to your recipe.
Ensure lid is locked securely in place and steam release
handle is in the sealing position. It is recommended to
use lid opening method 2 (see Operating Instructions)
to remove lid once cooking is complete – turning steam
release valve to the venting position may cause soup or
porridge to release with the steam.
12. PRESSURE FUNCTION – POTATO
Use time key to adjust cooking time depending on recipe
quantity. Ensure lid is locked securely in place and steam
release handle is in sealing position.
