17. Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use. Do not cover the
pressure valves.
18. Please soak the dry foods before cooking them in the product.
19. Be aware that certain food, such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or
other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or spaghetti can foam, froth, and
sputter, and clog the pressure release device. These foods should only be cooked in
a pressure cooker with caution with the inner pot never more than 1/2 full and using
natural release.
20. Do not fill the unit over MAX level (2/3 full). When cooking foods that expand during
cooking such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit over 1/2 full. Over filling
may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure. Please
see Cooking Preparation .
21. This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury. Make
certain unit is properly closed before operating. Please see Cooking Preparation .
22. Never deep fry or pressure fry in the unit with oil. It is dangerous and may cause a fire

Before the First Use
Before the first use, please take out all accessories from the package and read this
manual carefully. Please pay particular attention to operational instructions and cautions
to avoid any injury or property damage. Please wash the inside of the lid and the inner
pot with warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the outer housing with a clean
damp cloth. Never immerse the cooker housing in water or any other liquid. The inner pot,
sealing ring and exhaust valve and all accessories are dishwasher safe. But never clean
the lid and housing in a dishwasher.
Remove and Install the Anti-Block Shield
Remove and Install the Sealing Ring
The anti-block shield can be
removed by pushing it on the
side to lift it up. To install the
anti-block shield, position it
in place and press it down.
The sealing ring can be removed by
pulling upwards from the sealing ring
rack in sections. To install the sealing
ring, pressing it down into the rack
section by section. The sealing ring
can be installed on either side facing up.
Please note the following:
Prior to each use, inspect to make sure the sealing ring is well seated in the sealing
ring rack and the anti-block shield is mounted properly on the steam release pipe.
After use, remove any foreign objects from the sealing ring and anti-block shield.
Keep the sealing ring clean to avoid odor. Washing the sealing ring in warm soapy
water or dishwater can remove odor. However, it is normal for the sealing ring to
absorb the smell of certain acidic foods. That is why it is always a good idea to have
more than one sealing ring on hand.
Never pull the sealing ring by force, as the pulling may cause deformation and affect
its function in sealing the pressure.
A sealing ring with cracks, cuts or other damages should not be used. A new sealing
ring replacement should be used.

Safe Lid Opening
1. Make sure the pressure cooking program has completed or press Keep warm/Cancel
key to terminate the program.
2. Releasing pressure in one of the following approaches.
" "
Press the team Release key on the lid handle to let out steam until the float valve
drops down.
"S "
Quick Release:
Caution:
Pleas keep hands and face away from the hole on the top of the exhaust valve when
using Quick Release. The escaping steam is very hot and can cause scalding.
Never pull out the exhaust valve when it is letting out steam.
Please be aware that Quick Release is not suitable for food in large liquid volume or
with high starch content (e.g. porridge, congee, sticky liquids, soup, etc.). Food content
may splatter out with steam. Use Nature Release instead.
Allow the cooker to cool down naturally until the float valve drops down. This may take
10 to 15 minutes after cooking is finished and the cooker is in Keep-Warm mode.
Putting a wet towel on the lid can speed up cooling.
3. Open the lid: Hold the lid handle, turn the lid counterclockwise to the open position, and
lift the lid up to open.
Caution: Do not open the lid until pressure inside the pot is completely released. As a
safety feature, until the float valve drops down, the lid is locked and cannot be opened.
If the float valve is stuck due to food debris or stickiness, you can push it down with a
pen or chopsticks when you are certain the pressure has been released by pressing
the team Release key on the lid handle."S "
Nature Release:
Cooking Preparation
1. Open the lid
Holding the lid handle with your hand, rotate approximately 30
degrees clockwise until the mark on the lid is aligned with
the mark on the cooker housing rim.
" "
" "
2. Check whether all parts on the lid are assembled properly
Check the float valve and exhaust valve for obstructions. Make
sure that the sealing ring is well seated inside its holding rack,
the anti-block shield is installed properly and the float valve can
move up and down easily.

3. Take out inner pot, and put in food and liquid
The total amount of food and water should NEVER exceed the
maximum level marking of the inner pot. It is recommended
that you do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods
that expand during cooking such as rice, beans or dried
vegetables, do not fill the unit over 1/2 full. Over filling may risk
clogging the vent pipes and developing excess pressure. This
could also cause spillage and may damage to the unit.
Max
4. Place the inner pot inside the cooker housing
Before that, be sure to remove foreign objects and wipe dry the outside of the inner pot
and the heating element inside of the cooker.
After putting the inner pot inside the housing, rotate the inner pot slightly to ensure
good contact between the inner pot and the heating element.
5. Close the lid completely
Hold the lid handle and put the lid on the cooker, with the
mark on the lid and mark on the housing rim are aligned.
Rotate the lid counterclockwise approximately 30 degrees
until the mark on the lid is a aligned with the mark
on the housing rim.

8. To serve the food, press Keep warm/Cancel key
to stop the keep-warm cycle and open the lid
according to the Safe Lid Opening section of this
manual.
When opening the lid, the inner pot may appear to
be stuck on the lid by vacuum. This is caused by
contraction of air due to cooling. Please press the
Steam Release key on the lid handle to let in
air to release the vacuum.
NOTE:
If you no need to change the default cooking
duration or pressure, skip the fourth or fifth step.
Before using the Bake function, please take out the exhaust valve.

" "
" "

Preset Cooking
Your cooker has a preset function to delay the start of cooking for between 2 hours and
23 hours 50 minutes. The preset function does not apply to the Keep Warm , Cake ,
Bake , Saute and Yogurt functions. The following shows how to program for preset
cooking.
1. Follow steps in the previous Pressure Cooking section to set a cooking program.
2. Within 10 seconds after program selection, press
Hour and Minute keys to set the prest time. The
time is the delayed time before the program starts.
Please allow sufficient cooking time and cooling
down time before serving.
3. 10 seconds after last key press, the Preset
function starts, the time on LED display counts
down, and the Preset indicator lights up.
To cancel the Preset operation, press the Keep
warm/Cancel key at any time.
4. Your cooker finishes cooking when the preset time
counts down to 0, then the cooker beeps and automatically goes into the Auto Keep
Warm cycle for hours. Please Note:
We highly discourage using the preset function for perishable foods, such as meat and
fish, which may go bad when left at room temperature for hours. Cooked rice may yield
overly soft texture due to long soaking time. It may also cause a layer of burned rice at
the bottom of the cooker if it is left in Keep-Warm mode for too long.
Care should be taken when using Preset function for porridge, oatmeal or other foamy
and sticky foods. Because of the possibility of these foods gumming up the float valve,
if your cooker is overfilled, causing it to never seal and leading to overflowing food
content, it is highly recommended that your cooker not be filled more than 1/2 full and
ideally not be left unattended during the preheat cycle.
