Owner’s Manual
ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARDS
1. If you cook meat with skin, such as sausage, swelling can occur when cooked under
pressure. Piercing skin after cooking can lead to bursts
of hot liquid.
2. Do not lean over the pressure cooker at any time while cooking.
3. The Silicone Gasket creates a pressure seal between the Lid and Base. Keep the
gasket completely clean and free of cracks or deterioration.
4. Fill the pressure cooker with liquid prior to use. Never cook without liquid.
5. Make sure all parts of the pressure regulator and ventilated pipe are clean.
6. Do not alter the safety mechanisms or attempt to repair pressure cooker as this
will void the warranty. Please adhere to the Maintenance Instructions and other
instructions contained in this manual.
7. Do not place near ammable materials, heating units, or wet environments.
8. Do not overll the pressure cooker.
9. Clean the Food Blocking Cap and Pressure Release Valve regularly to prevent
clogging.
10. Do not attempt to open the Lid when the Floater Valve is raised.
11. Do not cover the Pressure Release Valve.
12. The bottom of the Inner Pot and heating plate should be kept clean.
Do not put the Inner Pot on other heat sources. Do not replace the
Inner Pot with other containers.
13. Use wood or plastic utensils to prevent damaging the Inner Pot’s
non-stick coating.
14. Do not move the pressure cooker while in use. Only after the pressure cooker cools
down completely should it be moved. Move the pressure cooker by using the Base
handles not the Lid handle.
15. Make sure pressure is fully released before attempting to open the Lid.
16. It is normal for some smoke to escape the appliance during the rst few uses. If the
pressure cooker continues emitting smoke please contact Customer Service.

Preheating: While the unit reaches the appropriate temperature for the function selected, the display
will show “PH” indicating that it is preheating. Once the unit reaches the appropriate pressure, it will
shift from preheating to the selected preset cooking time. Once pressure has built inside the pressure
cooker, the PH display will change to P, followed by the amount of time it will remain under pressure.
Pressure: The function selected will determine the amount of pressure time. In this example, the
display will show “P0:10” (pressure time). The colon or “:” will ash to indicate that the pressure
cooker is under pressure and the timer is counting down.
Auto Warm Feature: When cooking is complete, the pressure cooker automatically switches to the
warm function. Default warm time changes depending on the Preset used.
Texture: This is a function to help change the consistency of your foods.
“less”, “normal,” and “more” are selected guides that increase or decrease
the cooking time while under pressure.
Directions:
Press a desired preset button. The display will default to “normal” time.
(Ex: Press “rice” and the display will show 00:10).
To change the consistency of the food (less, normal, more), simply press “texture”. The
appropriate light will display, indicating that the time has been changed. The time in the display
will automatically adjust accordingly. (Ex: For the “rice” function, “less” is 7 minutes, “normal”
is 10 minutes and “more” is 21 minutes).

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.
PRESSURE CANNING

20 Warranty
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 housing 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 ounce 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 ounce cans. This would be
about 6 cups of water. When processing fewer jars,
more water would be needed.

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.
