Instructions for use
Once the appliance is assembled properly, you are ready to begin cooking.
1. To remove the lid, grasp the handle, turn clockwise and lift. (Figure A,B).

2. Remove the inner cooking pot from the appliance and add the food and liquids as the recipe directs.
Note: The total volume of food and liquid must not exceed 80% of the capacity of the cooking pot.
(Figure C). For foods such as dried vegetables and beans, or rice and grains, the total volume must not
exceed 60% capacity. (Figure D). Always use at least 120 millilitres of liquid when pressure cooking. The
total volume of food and liquid must not be less than 20% of the capacity of the cooking pot. (Figure E).
3. To lock the lid in place, remove any food residue from the upper rim of the cooking pot to secure the
seal. Ensure the sealing ring is secured in place on the sealing ring supporting cover. (Figure F).
4. Wipe any water or food residue away before placing the cooking pot back into the housing body. Make
sure the inner pot is set firmly on the heating plate. (Figure G).
5. Close the cover, ensuring the inner lid covers the inner pot. Rotate the handle of the cover
counter-clockwise until it clicks into position. (Figure H-1,H-2).
6. Position the float valve and turn it to the sealed position, then check that the float valve has dropped
down. (Figure I-1,I-2). Note: The float valve does not click or lock into place. Even though it will have a
loose fit, it is safely secured. The float valve handle must be fully down to properly seal the pot before
cooking.

cooking function. The function light will flash. The preset buttons are Soup, Chicken, Beef, Fish, Rice,
Slow Cook, Steam and Cake.
9. When the pressure inside hits the proper level, the pressure hold indicator turns on and the timer
begins counting. Pay attention, the pressure inside is very high so it needs released through the vent
valve before opening the cover.
10. When the pressure cooking cycle is finished, the unit will automatically switch to the Keep Warm
mode. Release the float valve and wait for the pressure to release completely until the floater drops
down. Then you can unplug the unit and take out the food. (Figure J-1,J-2). After entering Keep Warm
mode: if you do not want to continue this mode, you can unplug the power supply. For safety reasons,
after 12 hours of continuous Keep Warm mode, the appliance will automatically switch off to stand-by.

2. Once a preset has been selected, the display will show the letter P followed by the number of minutes
the meal will cook for. For example, if the display shows P25, the cooking time will be 25 minutes. Once
the time is set or adjusted, the appliance will automatically start cooking after a 5 second wait.
3. Manual pressure setting: After selecting one of the preset cooking options, pressing ‘SELECT’ again
