corresponding level marking inside the
cooking pot reects 160 ml cups, e.g.
4 cups is 640ml, 10 cups is 1600 ml etc.
of ingredients and then ll with liquid to
the corresponding cup level marking of
the cooking pot and that gives you the
correct amount of liquid for the food you
are cooking.

Note: The Pressure Limit Valve should
be correctly positioned, This valve may
appear loose and wobbly but this is
normal. It is secured when it sits right
down.
The Red oat Valve(Pressure Indicator)
adjacent to the Pressure Limit Valve must
be fully down (Black dot in Figure 10)
and level with the lid surface to properly
seal the pot, this can only be achieved
when lid is in fully locked position.
If it sits up and cannot be pushed down,
the lid is not in fully locked position.

before it spoils, particular important
for meat, chicken, eggs or similar
ingredients.
The“SLOWCOOK”functioncanNOTbeusedin

To Open Lid
Whenpressurecookingcycleisnished,the
unitwillautomaticallyswitchtotheKeepWarm
mode.Atthispointyoumaychoosetorelease
pressurein1of3ways–NaturalPressureRelease,
QuickPressureRelease,oraInterruptPressure
Release.Thechoicewillbedictatedbythe
particularfoodbeingcookedandindicated
intherecipe.Ifadaptingyourownrecipefor
pressurecooking,ndasimilarrecipeinour
recipebookletandusethatasaguide.
1. NaturalPressureRelease–Followingpressure
cooking,allowtheunittoremainonKeep
Warm.Thepressurewillbegintodrop–time
forpressuretodropwilldependonthe
amountofliquidinthepressurecooker
andthelengthoftimethatpressurewas
maintained.NaturalPressureReleasewill
takefrom12to30minutes.Duringthistime
cookingcontinues,soitisrecommendedfor
certaincutsofmeats,andsomedesserts.
Whenpressureisfullyreleased,theFloat
Valve(PressureIndicator)willdropandthelid
canbeunlockedandremoved.
2. QuickPressureRelease-TurnthePressure

handletothe“Release”position,thePressure
limitValvewilltiltandSteamwillimmediately
begintoreleasethroughthevalvevents.
 Keepface,handsandforearmsawayfrom
steamwhenitisreleasing.
 Donotreleasethepressurewiththe
appliancepositionedunderoverhanging
cabinets,asthesecanbedamagedbythe
steam.Whenpressureisfullyreleased,the
RedFloatValve(PressureIndicatornearthe
PressurelimitValve)willdropandlidcanbe
unlockedtoopen.
3. InterruptPressureRelease–Thereisapressure

theSteamwillimmediatelybegintorelease
throughthevalvevents,whenreleasing
downwardpressureonthebutton,steamow
willstopandappliancewillmaintainpressure.
 Forsomerecipes,wehavechosentousethis
pressurereleaseway.
 AllowNaturalPressureReleaseforthetime
indicatedintherecipe(foodwillcontinue

Note : where possible, limit the time
the appliance remains in Keep Warm
Mode as the quality / texture of the
food will change progressively after an
hour compared to freshly cooked food.
During the Keep Warm period a little
condensation will settle in the upper rim
of the appliance, this is as a result of
the appliance naturally de-pressurizing
during the rst half hour in Keep Warm
Mode, this is normal.

(Fig.13)
Fig.13
Note: Do not push or pull lid in that
position as it does not act as a hinged
lid, doing so could damage the lid or the
appliance handle.
 Toremovethelidfromitsstandingpositiondo
sointhereversemannerofttingit.
Warning : Use extreme caution when releasing
pressure.
If the pressure is not fully released you are unable
to open the lid as handle remains locked by
safety mechanism in the lid. Do not try to OPEN
the lid unless you see that the oat valve has
completely dropped down.
Warning: Do not touch the Pressure Limit Valve
and Float Valve while cooking or releasing the
steam to avoid of burns.
Warning: If unable to release the steam pressure
by pressing the pressure release button when
cooking cycle is completed, it maybe due
to the Pressure Limit Valve being blocked, in
that instance do not try to force, unplug the
pressure cooker and allow it to “Natural Pressure
Release”, this may take 30 minutes and observe
that the oat valve is in full down position before
attempting to remove the lid.
DonotforceopentheLiduntillthepressurein
thepressurecookerisfullyreleased.

SafetyDevices
Therearesevensafetydevicesinstalledinthe
pressurecookertoassureitsreliabilityandsafety.
1. Open-and-Close Lid Safety Device
 Theappliancewillnotstartpressurizinguntil
thelidisclosedandlockedproperly.
 Thelidcannotbeopenedwhenthe
appliancepressurizing.
2. Pressure Control Device
 Thecorrectpressurelevelisautomatically
maintainedduringthecookingcycle.
3. Pressure Limit Valve
 Thepressurelimitvalvewillreleasesteam
pressureautomaticallywhenthepressure
insideexceedsthepresetpressure.
4. Anti-Block Cover
 Preventsanyfoodmaterialfromblockingthe
pressurelimitvalve
5. Pressure Relief Device
 Whenthepressurecookerreaches
themaximumallowablepressureand
temperature,thecookingpotwillmove
downuntillidseparatesfromthesealingring,
releasingsteampressure.
6. Thermostat
 Thepowerwillautomaticallyswitchoffwhen
appliancehasreachedpeaktemperatureor
heatingupwithoutfoodincookingpotand
continuestocycleOn/Offtomaintainpeak
temperature.
7. Thermal Fuse
 Intheunlikelyeventofthermostatfailure,
wheretemperaturecontinuestorisebeyond
peakpresettemperatureandexceedingthe
temperatureratingofthethermalfuse,the
fusewillopencircuit,renderingtheappliance
inoperable(Cannotbereset).
8. Magnetic Power Control Switch
 Thepressurecookerhasabuilt-inmagnetic
powercontrolswitchtoactivate/deactivate
powertoheatingelementwhenlidisfully
lockedorturnedtounlockforpressure
