ENGLISH
• Slow Cooking: cooks your food slowly, for up to 9.5 hours, at a temperature
of 190°F (LOW) or 212°F (HIGH). Slow cooking helps food retain maximum
flavor and tenderness. Press the button to increase the cooking time by
30-minute increments.
• Warm: reheats or keeps cooked food warm at 158°F until you are ready to
enjoy it. The WARM program works in 30 minute intervals up to 8 hours.
• Brown: allows you to brown or sauté your food before cooking, in one
minute intervals up to 30 minutes.
• Delay Time: allows you to delay the cooking process up to 8 hours.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE DELAY TIME FUNCTION WHEN COOKING
FOODS THAT MIGHT SPOIL IF LEFT OUT AT ROOM TEMPERATURE.
Getting Started
Read the safety instructions found in this manual before plugging in and operating.
Before using the cooker for the first time, follow these steps:
1. Remove all packing materials and literature from within the cooker. Lift the
inner cooking pot and remove any pieces of paper from under it. Remove
the plastic protection from the control panel and any stickers from the lid or
stainless steel housing.
2. Wash all removable parts in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry all parts
thoroughly. Wipe the stainless steel outer housing with a clean damp cloth.
NEVER submerge the stainless steel outer housing in water or any other
liquid. Only the removable cooking pot is dishwasher safe.
3. Make sure the silicone gasket is seated properly inside the lid. To make sure
it has been fitted correctly, fill the removable cooking pot with water up to
two thirds full, and cook on HIGH PRESSURE for 15 minutes. Release the
pressure by turning the pressure regulator knob to STEAM. The steam is
released and the floating valve will drop. If steam is not being released, the
gasket probably hasn’t been fitted correctly and the cooker hasn’t built up any
pressure: re-adjust the gasket to make sure it is fitted properly, and repeat this
step.
4. Let the appliance cool to room temperature and then empty and clean.

ENGLISH
Pressure Cooker Program
This program will allow you to cook foods under pressure in much less time, as
cooking time is reduced up to 70% compared to traditional cooking methods.
Pressure cooking is Fast, Easy, Healthy!
1. Before every use, make sure the silicone gasket and the pressure regulating
valves are clean and in place.
2. Plug the cord into a wall outlet.
3. Position the removable cooking pot in the cooker, and add the ingredients
following the recipe. When cooking foods under pressure, a minimum of 1 cup
(8 oz) of liquid is required.
SAFETY NOTES:
Do not fill the pot more than ²⁄3full with food and liquid. Do not fill the unit
more than ½ full when cooking foods that expand during cooking.
The following foods should not be cooked under pressure: applesauce,
cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal, split peas, noodles, pasta or rhubarb.
These foods tend to foam, froth and sputter, and may block the pressure
valve.
4. Place the lid on the cooker; align the protruding part of the handle with the
condensation collector, and turn it counterclockwise until it locks into place.
The locking pin will click into place.
5. Turn the pressure regulator knob to PRESSURE.
6. Choose the desired cooking mode by pressing either the HIGH or LOW
pressure button on the control panel. The light on the HIGH/LOW button will
flash and the digital display will show 00:01. This equals 1-minute cooking
time.
7. Set the desired time by pressing the HIGH or LOW button once for each
additional minute or by continuously holding the button down. The longest
cooking time is 99 minutes.
8. Press the START/STOP button to begin cooking. The time selects and
indicator light will stop flashing. If you forget to select a desired cooking time
or forget to press the START/ STOP button, the unit will beep twice and the
digital display will read --:-- after 30 seconds.
9. While building pressure, the display will show either HI or Lo as well as a
series of lines to the left showing the unit is on and building pressure. Be
patient this may take some time depending on the food you are cooking.
10. The unit will begin to count down in minutes once the appropriate pressure
has been reached. The floating valve will rise when the pressure is reached.
WARNING: NEVER TRY TO FORCE THE LID OPEN WHILE YOU ARE COOKING
UNDER PRESSURE. THIS CAN RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
WARNING: NEVER DEEP FRY OR PRESSURE FRY IN THE COOKER. IT IS
DANGEROUS AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE AND SERIOUS DAMAGE.

11. The cooker will beep once the cooking time ends. It will turn the
automatic “Warm” function, for 30 minutes until you press the
START/STOP button to cancel the program, beeping every 10 seconds. The
unit will continue to beep indicating there is still pressure in the unit. After
pressing the START/STOP button, release the pressure. You have two options
for releasing the pressure:
a. Quick release method: release the pressure immediately by turning the
pressure regulator knob to STEAM. All the pressure will be released in seconds.
CAUTION: THE STEAM COMING OUT OF THE COOKER WILL BE HOT,
AND MIGHT CONTAIN DROPLETS OF HOT LIQUID. ALWAYS TURN THE
JET OF STEAM AWAY FROM YOUR FACE AND HANDS.
b.Natural release method: let the pressure drop naturally without turning the
pressure regulator knob to “Steam”. This will take several minutes, during
which the food inside will continue cooking. Some recipes (such as risotto)
benefit from this extra cooking time. You will know when the pressure has
been released because the floating valve will drop and you will be able to
open the lid.
NOTE: If you do not press the START/STOP button at the end of the cooking time,
the cooker will beep periodically to remind you that the cooking has ended.
12. Once all the pressure is released, remove the lid by turning it clockwise, lifting
it up and tilting it away from you to avoid being scalded by some remaining
steam or hot water condensation dripping from the inner part of the lid.
WARNING: AFTER COOKING, THE INNER COOKING POT WILL BE HOT. USE
POTHOLDERS TO HANDLE IT OR LET IT COOL DOWN BEFORE REMOVING.

Hints and Tips
• To ensure best cooking performance when cooking under pressure, always
use at least 8 oz. of water or liquid in your recipes to create enough steam to
produce pressure.
• When using the HIGH and LOW pressure settings, the timer should not begin
counting down until there is enough pressure. If after a reasonable time the
counter hasn’t started counting down, it can mean one of three things:
– you haven’t turned the dial to a pressure setting
– the gasket has not been fitted properly into the lid
– there isn’t enough cooking liquid
• When cooking under pressure, if you are unsure of the cooking time, it is better
to under cook and use the quick release method and check for doneness.
• Never fill the cooker more than ²⁄3full. The cooker must have enough liquid
space within the unit to generate steam or the food will not cook properly. If you
are cooking foods that expand during cooking, do not fill more than half full.
• If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your cooker appliance
may not operate. The cooker should be operated on a separate electrical
circuit.
• Tougher, less expensive cuts of meat are better suited for the pressure cooking
program because cooking under pressure breaks the fibers down for more
tender results.
• Fresh fruit should be cooked on LOW pressure.
• Add a tablespoon of oil to the water to reduce the amount of foam produced by
dry beans.
