Important Safety Information

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION, ALONG WITH THE
MANUAL ENCLOSED AND KEEP BOTH FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE. WARNING YOU ARE WORKING WITH
HOT LIQUIDS. YOU MUST READ THIS BEFORE USE.
Before cooking
• ALWAYS ensure the INNER POT is in place before cooking.
• Food with skins (e.g sausages, chicken and fruit) MUST be pierced before cooking. Not
piercing the skin may result in the food expanding and may cause splashing of hot food after the
lid is released.
• Do not overfill the inner pot, only fill the pot to 2/3rds of its capacity.
• The lid must be closed fully before selecting a cooking function. Gently lower the lid and turn it
anti-clockwise until it clicks into place.
• Ensure the pressure release valve is in the closed position (pressure cooking functions only), and
check that it sits down correctly to seal the opening.

Quick release
Recommended for:
Quick cooking recipes and steaming, including
vegetables and seafood.
When the Keep Warm function has been
cancelled, move the pressure release valve to
the open position and only attempt to open lid
when all steam has released and the float valve
has dropped.
Leave the pressure cooker to stand for 1 - 2
minutes.
Press the lid release button and open the lid, if
the lid does not open, wait a few more minutes
and try again. Never try to force the lid off as a
locked lid is a sign that the unit still has some
pressure.
Slow release
Recommended for:
Food with skins (e.g sausages, chicken and fruit)
and foods with large liquid volume or high starch
content (such as porridge, soup, pasta, rice, fruit
and grains, and also delicate foods such as meats
and potato) can trap air and cause the food to
foam and expand which may cause splashing of
hot food after the lid is removed.
To avoid any splashing, after you have cancelled
the Keep Warm function leave the pressure
release valve in the closed position and allow
pressure to release naturally. This can take
15 minutes or more. Recipe dependant. When
the float valve has dropped, move the pressure
release valve to open to ensure all the pressure
is released.
Press the lid release button and open the lid, if
the lid does not open, wait a few more minutes
and try again. Never try to force the lid off as a
locked lid is a sign that the unit still has some
pressure.
Wait at least 1–2 mins. Wait at least 15 mins.
For both methods, give the cooker a few gentle shakes while holding the base unit handles to
release any residual steam before opening the lid. There could still be steam held under the food that
has not yet broken the surface. Without gentle shaking, this steam could come to the surface even
several seconds after the lid has been removed.
Pressure release methods
• When the programme is finished and you wish to commence pressure release press the
“Cancel” button to cancel the Keep Warm function.
• When releasing the pressure valve, always use tongs and please wear oven gloves to turn the
pressure valve to the open position. This will protect against hot steam. The valve will lift up
slightly and steam will release. The lid won’t open until the steam has vented and pressure has
released.
• When opening the lid food will be hot, please always wear oven gloves and an apron to protect
against any splashing of the hot food.
NEVER FORCE OPEN THE LID
