- This product is designed for household use only -
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock and personal injury, do not immerse this
appliance, including cord and plug, in water or other liquid.
4. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
5. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool completely
before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance
malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. To avoid hazards, return appliance
to NESCO®Factory Service Department for examination, repair or adjustment.
8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may
result in re, electric shock or injury to persons.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
11. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner or in a heated oven.
12. Intended for counter top use only,
do not use for other than its intended use .
13. Operate appliance only when all parts are fully engaged and secured.
14. It is recommended that appliance not be moved when it contains hot oil or other
hot liquid. If it must be moved, use extreme caution.
15. Use extreme caution when releasing pressure or while removing the lid. Serious
burns can result from escaping steam.
16. While the unit is in operation, never attempt to remove the lid or bypass safety
features.
17. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, cook only in the removable cooking pot.
18. Do not ll the cooking pot more than 50% full with food or 60% full with liquid.
When cooking foods that expand during cooking do not ll the unit over 50% full.
19. Foods such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals,
split peas, noodles and pasta, or rhubarb should not be cooked under pressure in
the pressure cooker. These foods tend to foam, froth and sputter, and may block
the oating valve.
20. Caution should be used when moving appliances containing hot food or liquid.
21. WARNING: Never deep fry or pressure fry in the pressure cooker. It is dangerous
and may cause a re, serious damage or injury.
22. WARNING: Spilled foods can cause serious burns. Keep appliance and cord away
from children. Never drape cord over edge of counter top, never use outlet below
counter top and never use with an extension cord.

OPERATION
1. Place the appliance on a at, heat resistant and stable surface.
2. Before using your appliance, always check the lid to be sure the sealing gasket
and regulator lter are clean and positioned correctly. (see Care and Cleaning
section). Ensure gasket is not damaged or broken. If damaged, do not use the
pressure cooker and contact customer service 1-800-288-4545 for replacement.

4. Place desired foods into cooking pot.
 NOTE: The total volume of food and liquid must not exceed 60% of the
capacity of the cooking pot. For foods such as dried vegetables and beans, or rice
and grains, the total volume must not exceed 50% capacity. Overlling may clog
the pressure limit valve, which can cause excess pressure to develop. Always use
at least 2 cups liquid when pressure cooking.
5. Check inside the cooker base where the heating plate and sensor are located to
be sure this area is clean and dry before inserting cooking pot.
6. Replace lid and turn until it locks into position.
7. Insert plug into 120 volt electrical outlet.
8. Set desired cooking function and time setting, then press START to begin.
NOTE: Cooker will begin countdown when the desired pressure is reached. Cooker
will automatically switch to KEEP WARM function after cooking times out, except
when using BROWN/SAUTE function which will automatically turn off.
FUNCTIONS

cleaning.
2. Lid - Remove and wash in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry.
3. Gasket - Removed for cleaning and inspection (see instructions below).
How to remove and assemble sealing gasket.
1. Always check gasket for cracks or damage when cleaning.
2. Turn lid upside down and grasp gasket with thumb and index nger and pull
gently to remove from metal ring. Continue until gasket is fully removed
from metal ring.
3. Clean and inspect gasket for any cracks, scratches or is broken.
4. Install gasket by starting in one section and feed the gasket edge around the
metal ring located to the underside of the lid. Repeat this until the gasket is
fully wrapped around the metal ring with edges being even.
 WARNING: Do not use gasket if damaged. Contact our customer support
representative. www.NESCO.com or toll free 1-800-288-4545
3. Cooking Pot - Wash the cooking pot with warm soapy water and dry. Do not put
into dishwasher as detergents may ruin the nonstick surface.
4. Base - Wipe the outer housing of base with a clean damp cloth. Do not
immerse base in water or any other liquid!
5. Condensation Cup - Remove the condensation cup by pulling down away from
base. Clean with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Replace by pushing up until
it locks.
6. Power Cord - Wipe clean and inspect cord and plug for damage. Do not use if

Cleaning the Pressure Regulator Knob and Floating Valve:
Check that the regulator knob and oating valve are in good working order before
each use. Regulator knob will turn freely and the oating valve will slide easy with a
push of your nger. Be sure the small seal is in place around the oating valve.
Wash oating valve by following these directions.
1. After the unit has cooled, remove the lid.
2. Lift up the regulator knob to remove. Wipe knob with a cloth, rinse and dry.
3. Turn the lid over and use a brush to clean around the valve and lter. Make sure
the small rubber gasket is in-tact on bottom of oating valve. Do not cover small
holes with gasket.
4. Replace the regulator knob by aligning the knob in the hole and push to lock.
HINTS AND TIPS
• To ensure the best cooking performance when cooking under pressure, always
use at least 16 oz. of water or liquid in your recipes to enable enough steam to
be created to produce pressure.
• When using HIGH or LOW pressure settings the timer will not begin counting
down until full pressure is reached. It takes about 10 mins. to reach pressure.
• Pressure cooking is quicker than oven cooking, if you are unsure of the cooking
time, it is better to under cook and use the quick release method to check for
doneness. If not ready, continue cooking until nished.
• Perishable foods, such as meat, poultry and sh cannot be left out at room
temperature for no more than 2 hours. Therefore, when cooking perishable foods
do not set delay timer for longer than 2 hours (1 hr. if above 90°F/32C).
• Tougher, less expensive cuts of meat are better suited for the pressure cooker
because cooking under pressure breaks down the bers for tender results.
• Fresh fruit should be cooked on low pressure.
• Add a tablespoon of oil to the water when cooking beans to reduce foaming.
TROUBLESHOOTING
• If the oating valve has not risen, but the timer is counting down,
perform the following steps:
1. Stop the pressure cooker by pressing the STOP button.
2. Turn the pressure regulator knob to STEAM, using oven mitts or tongs, release
in short bursts, until the pressure is fully released. Also referred to as the “quick
release method”.
3. Remove the lid and add liquid to have approximately 16 oz. of liquid in cooking
pot. Stir food to disperse liquid. Replace the lid and lock into position.
4. Press desired cooking function button and set desired cooking time.
5. Press the START button to resume cooking.
• If steam is leaking from under the cover, follow these steps:
1. Stop the pressure cooker by pressing the STOP button.
2. Turn the pressure regulator knob to STEAM, using short bursts, until the
pressure is fully released, also known as the quick release method.
3. Remove the cover and gasket. Check for tears or cracks. Do not use cooker if
any parts are damaged.
4. Check to be sure the gasket is positioned properly.
5. Check the contents of the cooking pot do not exceed 60% full.
6. If the cover still will not seal, call customer service at 1-800-288-4545.
