PRODUCT FEATURES
Benets
The NuWave Nutri-Pot
™
Electric Pressure Cooker consists of a cooking
pot and a special lid that locks into place on the top of the pot. When it
is heated, steam is sealed inside, which creates pressure. With this high
pressure, the internal temperature of the NuWave Nutri-Pot
™
Electric
Pressure Cooker is raised above the normal boiling point of water.
The cooking process is thus expedited leading to healthier meals made faster.
Multiple Cooking Functions
Now you can sear, stew, steam, simmer, bake, can, slow cook and keep
your foods warm all by the push of a button.
Digital
The Presets are programmed to cook you foods fast and easy.
During operation, the NuWave Nutri-Pot
™
Electric Pressure Cooker will
indicate which cooking function it is performing. Depending on the function,
once nished, it will automatically switch to the Warm setting until you’re
ready to eat.
Preset Time Function
The NuWave Nutri-Pot
™
Electric Pressure Cooker includes a Delay feature
so you can start cooking exactly when you want.
Saved Memory
If the NuWave Nutri-Pot
™
Electric Pressure Cooker is disconnected from its
power supply and reconnected within 20 minutes, all programmed settings
will be retained.
High Efciency
Cooking in the NuWave Nutri-Pot
™
Electric Pressure Cooker saves you time
and energy.
Perfect Seal
The Silicone Gasket locks in the taste and nutrients of your favorite foods.
Easy to Clean
The inner pot is non-stick so it’s easy to clean. The stainless steel lid
is durable and detachable for easy cleaning.
Innovative Design
The NuWave Nutri-Pot
™
Electric Pressure Cooker features a user friendly
design that releases any excess steam away from the unit, ensuring safer
pressure release.
No more ddling with heat settings like you would with a conventional
pressure cooker. The NuWave Nutri-Pot™ Electric Pressure Cooker does it
automatically. It’s a Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker and Yogurt Maker all in one!
The NuWave Nutri-Pot™ Electric Pressure Cooker is easy to use, saving
you time and energy. It is an ideal unit for any modern home.

9
Faster Cooking
On average, Pressure Cookers prepare food faster than traditional cooking methods
and the NuWave Nutri-Pot™ Electric Pressure Cooker is no exception.
Tastier Meals
Pressure cooking allows food to retain its full avor by cooking quickly and
efciently. With the natural avor intact, less seasoning is required, enabling you
to craft your meals precisely to your taste.
Healthier Results
More vitamins and minerals are retained in food prepared with the NuWave
Nutri-Pot™ Electric Pressure Cooker compared to conventional stove top
cooking. In addition, pressure cooking utilizes water in lieu of additional
unhealthy oils or fat, virtually eliminating the need to add extra, unnecessary
calories to your diet.
Multi-functional
The NuWave Nutri-Pot™ Electric Pressure Cooker can be used for steaming,
simmering and stewing fresh or even frozen foods. You can even use it for
canning and baking. Prepare everything from delicate soups and desserts to
hearty meat dishes.
MULTIPLE SAFETY DEVICES
Lid Safety Device: If the lid does not fasten to the housing, the pressure will not
build. If there is pressure already built inside the pot, the lid will not be able to open.
Pressure Control: During operation, if pressure exceeds the default pressure,
the NuWave Nutri-Pot™ Electric Pressure Cooker will automatically shut off to
prevent any pressure from leaking.
Maintaining Pressure: If the thermostat and pressure controller are broken and
the pressure exceeds the maximum level, excess pressure
will automatically discharge from the pressure relief valve.
Anti-Block Device: Ensures the pressure vents smoothly.
Pressure Release Safety Device: If the NuWave Nutri-Pot™ Electric Pressure
Cooker fails to maintain the proper pressure and the pressure exceeds the
maximum level, the excess pressure will automatically discharge from oater
valve to avoid explosion.
Temperature Controller: If the inner pot heats up while empty or if the inner pot
exceeds the setting temperature, the NuWave Nutri-Pot™ Electric Pressure Cooker
will automatically shut off.
Temperature Sensor: Once the inner pot exceeds the maximum temperature
limit, the NuWave Nutri-Pot™ Electric Pressure Cooker will automatically shut off.

PRESSURE CANNING
Canning
Foods with lower acid content have a greater potential for spoilage and contamination
than high acidity foods. Proper pressure canning minimizes the chances of spoilage
and contamination.
High Acid Foods Low Acid Foods
Apples Oranges Asparagus Mushrooms
Applesauce Peaches Beans Okra
Apricots Pears Beets Peas
Berries Pickled Beets Carrots Potatoes
Cherries Pineapples Corn Seafood
Cranberries Plums Hominy Spinach
Fruit Juices Rhubarb Meat Winter Squash
Never alter cooking times, temperatures or ingredients when pressure canning. Doing
so can be extremely dangerous as there is no room for experimentation. Following the
exact cooking times, temperatures and ingredients listed in the recipe will ensure that
your food is protected from harmful enzymes, bacteria and mold. Altering the cooking
time may destroy the food’s nutrients and avor.
Enzymes found in food may promote growth of yeast and mold, which in turn causes
food to spoil. These enzymes can be killed at temperatures 212°F and higher. Other
contaminants, such as salmonella, staphylococcus aureus, and clostridium botulinum,
can only be killed at temperatures 240°F. These higher temperatures can only be
achieved by pressure canning.
Before pressure canning in the NuWave Nutri-Pot™ Electric Pressure Cooker, consult
an instructional book written specically for pressure canning. The NuWave Nutri-Pot™
Electric Pressure Cooker can be used for basic pressure canning, along with the water
bath method. Both low and high acid fruits and vegetables are recommended. Meat and
seafood are not recommended to be pressure canned.

Safe Canning Tips:
1. Do not use overripe fruit. Bad quality degrades with storage.
2. Do not add more low-acid ingredients (onions, celery, peppers, garlic, etc.) than
specied in the written recipe. This may lead to an unsafe end result.
3. Don’t use too many spices. Many spices tend to contain high levels of bacteria,
which may result in unsafe canned goods.
4. Do not add butter or fat to the recipe. Fats do not store well and may cause
premature spoilage. Never use thickeners such as our, starch, pasta, rice or barley.
5. Use only USDA recommended tools and accessories.
6. Do add acid (lemon juice, vinegar or citric acid) especially to tomato products when
directed in the recipe. If necessary, you can balance the tart taste by adding sugar.
The NuWave Nutri-Pot™Electric Pressure Canning Process
Though your exact experience may vary depending on the specic recipe you are
following, most recipes can be prepared by following this guide.
1. Only follow recipes that have been tested for pressure canning. Prepare the
necessary ingredients as instructed in the recipe.
2. Fill clean 16-ounce mason jars to the level.
Do not allow ingredients to exceed the level.
Always leave no less than 1 inch of head space.
3. Gently remove any lingering air bubbles
by pressing a exible, nonporous spatula
between the ingredients and the jar itself.
4. Place a clean lid onto each jar, then add a screw
band. Turn the lid clockwise and tighten in place.
NOTE: Never re-tighten lids after pressurizing
the jars. As the jars cool, the contents will
contract, pulling the lid rmly against the jar
to form a high vacuum and create a seal.
If the screw bands are too loose, liquid may
escape from the jars during this process, causing
the seals to fail. If the screw bands are too tight,
air cannot vent during this process, causing
food to discolor while in storage. Tightening
the lids too much may also cause the lids to
buckle and the jars to break. Screw bands are not needed on stored jars.
Remove after jars have cooled. When removed, washed, dried and stored,
screw bands may be used many times. If left on stored jars, they become
difcult to remove, often rust, and may not work properly again.
5. Place the Inner Pot in the base unit. Then put the Wire Rack in the bottom of the Inner
Pot. Place Filled, sealed Jars on Rack. Unit will hold up to 9-16 oz. jars (maximum).
6. Pour hot water over the jars and into
the Inner Pot until the water level reaches
1/4 of the way up the sides of the jars.
For 9-16 oz cans. This would be about 6
cups of water. When processing fewer jars,
more water would be needed.
