IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Read all instructions before using the electric appliance. The following
basic precautions should always be followed:
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. This appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including children
younger than 8) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have
supervision.
2. Close supervision is necessary when
any appliance is used near children.
Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with
the appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be done by
children unless they are older than 8
and supervised.
3. Check if the voltage indicated on the
appliance corresponds to the local
main voltage before you connect the
appliance.
4. Do not use the appliance if the plug,
the main cord or the appliance itself
is damaged. Always make sure that
the plug is inserted properly into a
wall outlet.
5. Do not operate any appliance with
a damaged cord or plug, after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been
damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to the nearest authorized
service facility for examination, repair,
or adjustment.
6. Do not let the cord hang over the
edge of the table or counter or touch
hot surfaces.
7. To protect against electric shock, do
not immerse cord, plugs, or appliance
in water or other liquid. Do not plug
in the appliance or operate the
control panel with wet hands.
8. Never connect this appliance to an
external timer switch or separate
remote-control system in order to
avoid a hazardous situation. To
disconnect, turn o the appliance,
then remove plug from wall outlet.
9. Do not place the appliance on or
near combustible materials such as a
tablecloth or curtain. The accessible
surfaces may become hot during use.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven.
10. Do not place the appliance against
a wall or against other appliances.
Leave at least 4 inches of free space
on the back and sides and 4 inches
of free space above the appliance.
Do not place anything on top of the
appliance.
11. Do not use the appliance for any
other purpose than described in
this manual. The use of accessory
attachments not recommended by
the appliance manufacturer may
cause injuries.
12. Do not let the appliance operate
unattended. Extreme caution must
be used when moving an appliance
containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
13. Do not touch the hot surfaces; use
handle. During air frying and pressure
cooking, hot steam is released
through the air outlet openings.
Keep your hands and face at a safe
distance from the steam and from the
air outlet openings. Also be careful of
hot steam and air when you remove
the cooking pot or air fry basket from
the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
14. After using the appliance, avoid
contact with the hot metal inside.
Unplug from outlet when not in use
and before cleaning. Allow to cool
before cleaning the appliance.
15. Immediately unplug the appliance if
you see dark smoke coming out of
the appliance. Wait for the smoke
emission to stop, before you remove
the cooking pot or air fry basket from
the appliance.
16. Do not alter or tamper with any
component or accessory included
with this unit. Do not use with any
accessory that was not designed
specifically for this unit.
17. Always attach the cord to the
appliance before inserting into the
socket. To disconnect, ensure the
appliance is set to the o position
and then remove the cord from the
wall socket.
18. Only cook using the cooking pot or
air frying basket. Cooking directly
in the electrical base can result in
electric shock.
19. Make sure the lid is properly closed
before operating. Improper use may
result in scalding or other injuries.
20.Always inspect the steam release
valve to ensure it is clear of any
clogging before use.
21. Never attempt to open the lid before
the product has cooled and all
internal pressure has been released.
Diculty rotating the lid indicates
that contents are still under pressure
– it should never be forced open.
After all the steam is released the
pressure will decline and the lid will
be able to rotate with ease.
22.Tilt the lid away from you when
removing it, in order to better protect
your hands and face from the excess
steam.
23.Do not fill above the FULL line
located within the cooking pot. When
cooking foods that expand such as
rice or dried vegetables, do not fill
the cooking pot more than half-way.
Over-filling may result in a clogged
vent pipe or excess pressure.
24.Not all foods are compatible with
a pressure cooker. Applesauce,
cranberries, barley, oatmeal, cereals,
split peas, pasta and rhubarb
create foam which clogs the steam
vent. They should not be used in a
pressure cooker.
25.Do not use oil to fry foods in the
pressure cooker.
26.Paper, cardboard and plastic
materials can never be placed within
the appliance while it is in operation.
27. Never pour cold water into a hot
cooking pot.
28.Ensure that the appliance has
completely cooled down before
attaching or removing components,
and before cleaning.
29.Do not use the cooking pot with any
source of heat other than this unit. Do
not replace the cooking pot with any
accessory not created specifically for
this unit.
30.Steam emitting from the circumference
of the lid symbolizes a malfunction in
the unit. Disconnect from its power
supply and contact a local authorized
repairman.
31. Do not use outdoors.
32.FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

• If an extension cord is used:
ELECTRICAL 3PRONG PLUG:
Appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
grounding-type plug. It should be properly
connected to a grounding-type outlet. The
plug is designed to fit ONLY a 3-grounding
outlet unit, and as such, the grounding
prong should never be removed. If needed,
a 2-prong adapter may be used if local
codes allow it.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
• The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at
least equal to the electrical rating of the appliance; and
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over.

BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Place the machine on a flat, stable surface. If the countertop may
possibly be damaged by heat, use a trivet positioned under the base
for safety.
2. Press the red Lock/Unlock button on the lid handle.
3. Rotate the lid counterclockwise so the arrow on the lid aligns with
unlock marking on the base and remove the lid.
4. Remove the pressure cooker pot from the base.
5. Thoroughly clean the air fry basket and multi-purpose rack with hot
water, some dishwashing liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge.
6. Wipe the inside and outside of the base with a moist cloth.
7. Inspect the machine to ensure that it is ready for use with the
pressure and safety valves clean and clear of any blockage and the
rubber seal ring clean and in place around the lid.
8. To ensure that the unit is assembled and working properly, it is
recommended that you fill the pressure cooker to the 2/5 line
and allow the pressure cooker to operate for a half-hour. Upon
completion, remove the water then rinse and dry the inner pot. The
unit is now ready for use.
WARNING: Be careful not to put your hands and face near the steam
release valve at any time.
9. The air fryer works using hot air.
a. Do not fill the pan with oil, frying fat, or any other liquid.
b. Do not put anything on top of the air fryer.
NOTE: During the first few uses, there might be a “hot plastic” smell. This
is perfectly normal in new air fryers as the material is heated for the first
time. It will go away after the first few uses.

Pressure Release
This pressure cooker allows two dierent ways to release cooking pressure:
Natural Release and Quick Release.
Natural Release
Allows the machine to rest after cooking until the pressure naturally decreases
enough to safely open the lid. This method is best for foods with high liquid
contents such as soup, beans, and stews.
To use the natural pressure release, rotate the steam release valve to the sealing
marker and do not move it during or after cooking. When the float valve drops, it is
safe to open the lid.
Quick Release
Allows the machine to release pressure quickly when cooking is complete. Best for
foods that require a precise cook time.
To use the quick pressure release, set the steam release valve to Sealing during
cooking and turn it to Venting when the cooking is done.
WARNING: Do not turn the steam release valve to Venting after cooking soup, or
any other food with a lot of liquid; the steam must be released naturally, leaving
the steam release valve set to Sealing.
PRESSURE COOKING
Pressure Cooking Notes:
• The multi-purpose rack is not required unless you are combo cooking.
• Turning the steam release valve to Venting is optional unless you are combo
cooking. See “How to Use Steam Release Valve” for details.
•
When cooking completes, the machine will switch to Keep Warm mode and
the Keep Warm button will illuminate. Press the Stop button to turn o Keep
Warm mode. This mode will not turn on for SOUS VIDE, SAUTÉ, or YOGURT.
• You must use the cooking pot for pressure cooking. If you attempt to use the
air frying basket, a POT error message appears on the display and you will not
be able to cook until the correct pot is inserted.
• If the lid is not attached properly, a LID error message appears on the display
and you will not be able to cook until the lid is correctly attached and locked.

Air Frying Tips
• Smaller ingredients usually require a slightly shorter cook time than larger
ingredients.
• Shaking smaller ingredients halfway through the cook time optimizes the
end result and can help prevent unevenly fried ingredients.
• Add 1 tablespoon of oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your
ingredients in the air fryer within a few minutes after you add the oil.
• Do not prepare extremely greasy ingredients, such as sausages, in the air fryer.
• Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.
• Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made
dough also requires a shorter preparation time than homemade dough.
• Place a baking tin or oven dish in the air fry basket if you want to bake a
cake or quiche, or if you want to fry fragile or filled ingredients.
• You must use the air frying basket for air frying. If you attempt to use the
cooking pot, a POT error message appears on the display and you will not
be able to cook until the cooking pot is removed and the air frying basket is
inserted.
• If the lid is not attached properly, a LID error message appears on the display
and you will not be able to cook until the lid is correctly attached and locked.
• To prevent overheating, the machine’s fan runs for about 40 seconds when
cooking is paused or ended.
