of pressure cooker. Use side
handles only for carrying and
moving.
• CAUTION:Extreme caution
must be used when the unit
contains hot food or hot liquids.
DO NOT move the cooker
while in use or when it is under
pressure.
• CAUTION: To protect against
electrical shock, DO NOT
immerse power cord, plugs, or
the unit in water or other liquid.
DO NOT rinse appliance under
tap.
• Close supervision is necessary
when any appliances are used
by or near children.
• 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.
• Children should be supervised
to ensure that they DO NOT
play with the appliance. Always
keep the appliance and cord
away from children.
• Always disconnect the
appliance from the power
supply if it is not in use and
before cleaning. Allow the
unit to cool before putting
on or taking off parts, and
before cleaning and storing.
To disconnect, press Cancel
button, then remove plug from
the wall outlet.
• DO NOT leave appliance
unattended while in use.
• DO NOT use pressure cooker
for other than intended use. For
Household Use Only. DO NOT
use outdoors.
• This appliance cooks under
pressure. ALWAYS ensure
there is a minimum of 375 ml
(for 6L) and 500 ml (for 8L)
for the cooker to pressurize.
Improper use may result in
scalding injuries. Make certain
the unit is properly closed
before operating.
• CAUTION: DO NOT fill the
inner pot over PC MAX – 2/3
line. When cooking foods that
expand during cooking such
as rice and dried vegetables,
DO NOT fill the unit over the
1/2 line. Overfilling may cause
a risk of clogging the pressure
54

release hole and developing
excess pressure.
• CAUTION: DO NOT place
the pressure cooker on or in
close proximity to a hot gas or
electric burner, or heated oven;
heat from an external source
will damage the appliance.
• CAUTION: DO NOT use
appliance near water or flame.

silicone cap must be installed in the lid
before operating your cooker.
Install: Insert float valve on the hole
located on top of the lid. Place one
finger on the float valve and turn lid
over. On the bottom of lid, attach the
silicone cap to the float valve.
Note: The float valve and silicone cap
must be installed in the lid before
operating your cooker.
WARNING: NEVER touch the float
valve while the cooker is pressurized to
avoid burns.
Install and remove float valve Install and remove anti-block
shield
Install condensation collector
*Note: ALWAYS check inner pot for
dents or deformations prior to cooking.
Remove inner pot from cooker base
and wash with hot water and dish
soap before first use.
Wipe outer surfaces of inner pot
and heating element to ensure they
are dry and free of food debris.
Failure to do so may damage the
cooker.
Place inner pot into cooker base
before cooking. Food must be
placed only in the inner pot, not
cooker base.
Remove & clean inner pot
The condensation collector collects
excess water in the cooker rim
produced during the cooking
process to prevent from interfering
with other protection features. It
must be installed before cooking
and cleaned after every use.
Remove: Pull condensation
collector away from cooker base.
DO NOT pull down to avoid any
damage.
WARNING: DO NOT fill the inner
pot over PC MAX – 2/3 line
(Pressure Cooking Maximum), as
indicated on the inner pot. Exercise
extreme caution when cooking and
venting food such as applesauce,
cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal,
split peas, noodles, etc., as these
foods may foam, froth, or spatter,
and may clog the pressure release
hole and/or pressure release valve.
DO NOT fill the inner pot higher
than the — 1/2 line when cooking
these foods.
CAUTION: To avoid risk of personal
injury and/or property damage, DO
NOT pour food or liquid into cooker
base.
The inner pot is an integral part
of product safety. Always use an
authorized nutricook®inner pot
made for this model when cooking.
Failure to do so may cause personal
injury or property damage.

Once cooking completes, there are
2 methods to release pressure:
Quick Release (QR):
Press down Pressure release
button, after cooking program is
completed or stopped to vent out
pressure/steam until the float valve
drops into the lid.
If the food contents inside spatters
during this process, turn the
pressure release button back to
Sealing position and try again after
a few minutes. If spatter still occurs,
use Natural Release method to let
out remaining pressure.
WARNING:
• ALWAYS keep hands and face
away from the opening on the
top of the pressure release
valve when using Quick
Release. The escaping steam
is hot and can cause scalds,
burns and serious injury.
• DO NOT lean over or touch
the pressure release valve to
avoid injury.
• NEVER pull out the pressure
release valve when it is letting
out steam.
• DO NOT cover the pressure
release valve with a rag or
cloth while steam is being
released.
Sealing
Venting
Venting methods NOTE: The Quick Release method is
recommended for steamed vegetables
and seafood to avoid overcooking.
Be aware that the Quick Release
is not suitable for food with large
liquid volume or high starch content
(e.g. porridge, stews, sticky liquids,
soup, etc.). Food content may spatter
out from the pressure release valve.
Use Natural Release instead.
Natural Release (NR):
1. Leave the pressure release
button in the Sealing position.
2. The cooker dissipates heat so
pressure releases naturally
overtime.
3. Allow cooker to cool down
naturally until the float valve
drops down.
This may take 10 to 15 minutes or
even longer, depending on the
amount of food inside your cooker.
After cooking is finished, cooker
will be in Auto Keep Warm mode. (if
Auto Keep Warm function is on)
Safe Lid Opening
Open the lid: To avoid vacuum
suction on the lid, Press down
Pressure release button to let in
air when lifting the lid. Hold the
lid handle, turn the lid counter-
clockwise to the open position, and
lift the lid up to open.
WARNING:
• DO NOT lean over or touch the
pressure release valve.
• DO NOT force open the lid.
• DO NOT place unprotected
skin over pressure release
valve.
• DO NOT cover pressure
release valve.
WARNING:
DO NOT open the
pressure cooker until it has
depressurized, and all internal
pressure has been completely
released. If the float valve is still
up and/or lid is difficult to open,
this indicates that the cooker
is still pressurized – DO NOT
force it open. Any pressure in
the cooker can be hazardous.
Opening appliance while it is
still pressurized may lead to
sudden release of hot contents
and may cause burns or other
injuries.
WARNING:
Contents of the pressure
cooker are under extreme
pressure while the float valve
is still up. NEVER attempt to
remove/open the lid while
the float valve is still up. The
cooker must be completely
depressurized, and all pressure
must be released. The float
valve must be down before
attempting to remove/open
the lid. NEVER ATTEMPT TO
FORCE THE LID OPEN. Any
pressure in the cooker can be
hazardous. Failure to follow
the instructions may result
in property damage and/or
personal injury.

Sous Vide
Sous Vide cooking maintains an accurate temperature to cook food in airtight
sealed pouches while retaining natural juices for delicious results.
Adjustable Time Range: 10 minutes
to 99 hours and 30 minutes.
Adjustable Temperature Range:
25°C-90°C/77°F-194°F (adjusted
by /1°C/1°F).
What you need (aside from the
ingredients):
• Airtight or Vacuum Sealed Food
Pouches – to hold the food
before submerging in water.
• Food Thermometer - to check
doneness of food.
• Tongs – to place and remove
food pouches to and from the
inner pot.
• Vacuum Sealer (optional).
While cooker is Preheating, season
food and tightly seal the pouches.
Note:
• Lower cooking temperatures
prevent foods from releasing
more of their natural juices.
• Use longer cook times for
thicker items or for a more
tender taste.
• To ensure food contents in the
pouches are submerged in
water, pouches must be tightly
sealed and remove air.
• To get a better sear after Sous
Vide cooking, thoroughly
pat food dry. Use the Sauté
program to sear food.
Warning: NEVER use bare hands
to place pouches in the inner pot or
when taking them after cooking to
avoid burns.
