approximately 30 degrees until the cover marking ▼ is aligned with the outer case
marked “OPEN”. Lift the cover.
•Check the float valve and steam release valve for obstruction and confirm that
components such as the sealing ring and anti-block shield are installed correctly.
1. Remove the inner pot from the pressure cooker and put the food and water into the
inner pot. The total amount of food and water should not exceed the “MAX” indicator
on the pot.

2.Before reinserting the inner pot, remove any foreign objects and water droplets from
the exterior of the inner pot and the interior of the housing.
Put the inner pot into the pressure cooker. After putting the inner pot in, rotate the
inner pot slightly left and right to ensure full contact between the inner pot and the
heating plate.
3.Check whether the sealing ring is attached to the steel rim inside the cover. Hold the
cover handle with one hand, then rotate the cover clockwise approximately 30
degrees until the ▼ cover marking is aligned with the outer case marked “CLOSE”.

4.Align the small handle of the steam release valve with the small “closed” icon. This
will ensure the pressure cooker is airtight.
5.Plug the power cord into the pressure cooker and a socket, then switch the power
socket on. The display will flash and display a red horizontal line "---''. This indicates
the pressure cooker has entered standby.
6.Press the desired function button on the control panel. The light indicator of the
corresponding function will illuminate red. This display will show the default cooking
time. If you would like to change the function, press another function within 10
seconds.
7. Within 10 seconds of pressing the desired function, press the Texture button to set
the desired texture of food. This selection is more useful when cooking hardy
vegetables or meats.
There are three different textures (QUICK, STANDARD, LONGER). The default
texture is STANDARD and the light indicator on the texture adjustment settings
menu will reflect this. Press the Texture button until the light indicator illuminates
under the desired texture.
8.Press the Timer button to set the desired cooking time. The display will start flashing.
Use the timer adjustment buttons to adjust the hour setting. Press the Timer button
again then use the timer adjustment buttons to adjust the minute setting.
9.Press the Start/Cancel button to start. The red horizontal line "---" on the display will
stop flashing and the cooker will first enter a pressure building cycle that takes 10–15
minutes (depending on the amount of food in the pot) before cooking.
If you would like to stop the cooking function at any time, press the Start/Cancel
button. The cooker will stop cooking and return to standby.

10. Once the cooking function has finished, the mode indicator will turn off and the cooker
will automatically enter the “keep warm” mode to keep the food inside warm. The
display will show "0.0" and give out a sound prompt of 10 beeps. Disconnect the power.
Depending on the food cooked, there are two methods to release the pressure.
•Quick release method (suitable for foods containing little liquid (for example, rice,
cake)): Align the small handle on the steam release valve with the small “open” icon.
The pressure cooker will then begin releasing the pressure.
•Wait until the float valve falls before opening.
•You may quicken the pressure releasing process by placing a cool wet towel over the
cover.
•Natural release method ((suitable for foods containing lots of liquid (for example,
stews, soups)): Wait until the cooker has cooled naturally and the float valve has
fallen.
11. Hold the cover handle firmly, then turn the cover clockwise and lift the cover
upwards. The food can then be taken out, ready to be eaten.
