PLACING THE STEAM vALvE
Place the Steam Valve in its place on top of the Lid. The rib of the Steam Valve and its
base on the Lid should be aligned for unit to pressurize properly.
NOTE: If the Steam Valve is not closed correctly, unit will not function.
NOTE: It is common for some steam condensation to appear at the bottom of the valve.
This is part of the regular operation of the unit.
CAUTION: Be careful with the steam that comes out of the valve.
WARNING: HOT STEAM UNDER PRESSURE WILL ESCAPE FROM THE TOP OF
THE VALVE.
OPERATION OF THE CONTROL PANEL
Operation of the Control Panel:
1.a. Connect the unit to an electric outlet, you will hear a beep sound, all indicator lights
of the intelligent programs will start blinking and the LED Display will lit up showing
0:00. If no action is taken for a few minutes, the lights and LED Display will turn off
until any button is pressed.
b. To get started, press the “Function” button to select the desired intelligent cooking
program. Once a function is selected, the indicator light of that program will light up
and the LED Display will show the time it will take to cook once unit starts cooking
under pressure. For each function, the pressure-cooking time will only initiate after
the pre-heating time of approximately 14 minutes. Please note that this time will vary
depending on the size, quantity, weight and temperature of the food to be cooked.
Please refer to the “COOKING GUIDE” for cooking times by type of food. Heat up
time during the pre-heating stage might also be shorter if unit is used back to back
several times without letting it cool down between operations.
c. Once you have selected the function, you should select the cooking level, which
includes five levels from min to max by pressing the Cooking Level Button. When
selecting the cooking level, the LED Display will show the pressure-cooking time for
each level. Please follow the table below in order to select the desired/required
cooking level:

d.If you wish to use the delay timer function, press the Delay Timer Button to adjust
to your desired delayed start time. Please note that the delay timer can only be set
for up to 2 hours and in intervals of 30 minutes. The LED Display will show the sum
of the selected delay time and the pressure-cooking time. For example, if the
selected function is Chicken at the minimum cooking level (pressure cooking time of
12 minutes), and the delay time chosen is 1:00 hour, the LED Display will show 1:12.
e. To start cooking, press the Start/Stop Button.
i.If no delay time has been set, the multi-cooker will automatically add 14 minutes
of pre-heating time to the pressure-cooking time of the selected program.
For example, if the selected function is Chicken at the minimum cooking level
(pressure-cooking time of 12 minutes), the LED Display will show 26 minutes
(14 minutes for pre-heating + 12 minutes for pressure cooking). Once the
Start/Stop Button is pressed, unit will start pre-heating at once and the Red
Cooking Indicator Light will start blinking. The Red Cooking Indicator Light will
continue blinking while the unit is in the pre-heating mode and the LED Display will
start counting down the first 14 minutes. Once the pre-heating is completed and the
unit starts pressure-cooking, the Red Cooking Light will turn on solid and the LED
Display will continue counting down the pressure-cooking time of the selected
program. When the count down time is over at “0:00”, the multi-cooker will stop
cooking and it will automatically change to the keep warm mode. The Red Cooking
Indicator Light will turn off and the Green Keep Warm Indicator Light will light up.
NOTE: 14 minutes is an average pre-heat time. If food is larger or really cold,
pre-heat may take slighty longer.
ii.If the delay timer has been set, the LED Display will start counting down the
total time (selected delay time + pre-heat time + pressure-cooking time for the
selected program). The Delay Timer Indicator Light will light up. Once the count
down on the delay timer is completed, the Delay Timer Indicator Light will go off
and the unit will start pre-heating. The Red Cooking Indicator Light will start
blinking. When pre-heating is complete, pressure-cooking will start and the Red
Cooking Indicator Light will remain on (solid). Once pressure-cooking is
completed, the LED Display will show “0:00”, the Red Cooking Indicator Light will
turn off and the Green Keep Warm Light will light up.
NOTE: At any time, press the Start/Stop Button once if you desire to interrupt the
pre-cooking or pressure-cooking process.
2.Please note that air pressure will be generated inside the multi-cooker and therefore,
the Safety Pressure Valve will rise and lock the lid. This is an important safety feature
to avoid the unit from being opened while there is pressure inside.
WARNING: PLEASE DO NOT DEFEAT THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE BY
FORCING LID OPEN.
3.Make sure Steam Valve is placed correctly in its place, otherwise the steam inside the
unit will escape during operation and the multi-cooker will not work properly.
4.If multi-cooker does not pressurize after 60 minutes from the time it starts heating, e.g.
if the unit is not covered, the multi-cooker will warn with a continuous beeping sound
until the Start/Stop Button is pressed.
5. When in the keep warm stage, if you don’t need to keep the food warm, pull the plug
from the electrical outlet to turn off the unit completely.

9
6. Do not open multi-cooker until all internal pressure has been released. Do not force
lid open. Any pressure in the multi-cooker can be hazardous. To release pressure,
move the steam valve to the open position with the help of an utensil (see figure).
This will allow the steam to escape until the pressure safety valve falls so you can
safely open the lid to get the food.
IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE TO USE AN UTENSIL TO OPEN THE STEAM VALVE TO
RELEASE THE STEAM KEEPING YOUR HANDS AND FACE AWAY
FROM IT. ALSO, WHILE COOKING, NEVER PLACE HAND/FACE
DIRECTLY ON THE TOP OF THE STEAM VALVE. HOT STEAM UNDER
PRESSURE WILL ESCAPE FROM THE TOP OF THE VALVE.
FOR BROWNING
The multi-cooker has a browning function, which allows you to sauté/brown the food
before using the pressure-cooking function. This function was designed to cook without
pressure and therefore the unit should not be covered with the lid.
1.Remove lid and place food inside unit.
2.Connect power cord to an electrical outlet and select the browning function.
The multi-cooker will heat up the inner pot and cook/sauté the food inside.
3.This function should be controlled manually. When browning is done, unit should be
stopped by using the Start/Stop Button.
IMPORTANT: For safety, unit will shut off after 60 minutes.
NOTE: Do not use a metal spoon to stir the food inside the inner pot since that might
damage the non-stick coating, which could affect the unit performance in the long
term.

SOLUTION
• Make sure the power cord is connected to both the unit and the electrical
outlet.
• Safety Pressure Valve has not been placed correctly in its place (the rib on
the valve has to be aligned with the rib on its base on top of the lid).
• The internal areas of the Safety Pressure Valve or the Steam Valve have
particles. These two valves should be cleaned to have all residue removed
after each use.
• Lid has not been closed correctly.
• Unit has not been programmed properly.
• This is not a problem, this means unit is heating and pressurizing
• This is not a problem, this means the heating and pressurizing time was
longer than the given 14 minutes. When foods are larger or colder then
usual, the heat up time will take longer.
• When the unit is first plugged in, all the lights are on and blinking. If no action
is taken after 1 minute, unit goes to sleep. Pressing any of the buttons will
turn the unit back on.
• When foods are larger or colder then usual, the heat up time will take longer.
• Check and make sure Delay Timer function was not activated.
• Everyone’s tastes are different. Use the cooking level button to reduce the
cooking time to suit your cooking preference.
• If the unit is used back to back, the unit will not cool down and cooking time
or heat up may be faster.
• Everyone’s tastes are different. Use the cooking level button to increase the
cooking time.
• A small amount of steam is allowed to come out of the Safety Pressure Valve
or the Lid Handle Pressure Valve when they are just about the close shut.
• If steam is coming out from the perimeter of the Lid, the Lid has not been
closed properly.
• If constant steam is coming out of the Safety Pressure Valve (longer than
1 min), The Safety Pressure Valve is not closed properly.
• The unit takes an average of 14 minutes to heat up. These 14 minutes will
be added to the chosen cook time. In addition, if any start delay is chosen,
this time will also be added to the cooking time. The final cooking time is
delay time + 14 min heat up time + chosen pressure cook time.
• There is safety feature to keep Lid from being removed while the unit is
under pressure. Please make sure to de-pressurize unit by opening the
Safety Pressure Valve to be able to remove the Lid.
• The unit will beep when cooking is finished and it will automatically go into
the keep warm mode. The green keep warm mode indicator light shall be on
in this case.
• The unit will beep while user is pressing the buttons on the control panel.
• The unit will beep if there is a malfunction of some kind, this means the unit
did not pressurize or heat.
• This means too much food was placed inside of the unit. Please check the
instructions on this manual for maximum amounts of food that can be placed
inside the unit.

• NE PAS remplir l’appareil au delà de la marque indiquant les 2/3. Lorsque vous faites cuire des
aliments qui prennent du volume comme par exemple du riz ou des légumes secs, ne pas
remplir l’appareil au delà de la marque indiquant 1/2. Le remplir excessivement peut provoquer
obstruction et surpression. Vous reporter au paragraphe “Recommandations d’usage”.
• Sachez que certains aliments, tels que la purée de pomme, les groseilles, l’orge, l’avoine ou
autres céréales, les pois cassés, nouilles, macaronis, rhubarbe ou spaghetti peuvent créer de
l’écume et crachoter, obstruant la valve à pression. Ces aliments ne devraient pas être cuits
sous pression.
• Toujours s’assurer que la valve à pression n’est pas obstruée avant d’utiliser l’appareil.
• NE PAS ouvrir le couvercle de la cocotte avant que l’appareil ne soit complètement refroidi
et que toute la pression ait été relâchée. Si le couvercle est difficile à ouvrir, cela indique que
l’appareil est encore sous pression – ne pas forcer l’ouverture. Toute pression à l’intérieur de la
cocotte est dangereuse. Vous reporter au paragraphe « instructions d’usage »
• NE PAS se servir de cette cocotte pou cuire sous pression à l’huile. Ne pas verser d’huile dans
la marmite et ne pas fermer le couvercle en phase de brunissage.

Cet appareil est muni d’une fiche électrique polarisée (l’une des lames est plus large que
l’autre). Afin d’éviter tout risque d’électrocution, ce type de fiche ne peut s’insérer dans
une prise murale polarisée que dans un seul sens.
Si la fiche ne rentre pas parfaitement dans la prise, tournez-la dans l’autre sens. Si elle
ne rentre toujours pas, faites appel à un électricien professionnel. Ne pas essayer de
modifier la prise.
RECOMMANDATIONS D’USAGE DU CABLE D’ALIMENTATION
1. Le câble d’alimentation est court afin de réduire les risques d’enchevêtrement et de
chute.
2. Si vous utilisez une rallonge, faites preuve de prudence lors de son utilisation.
3. Si vous utilisez une rallonge, assurez-vous que le cordon a une puissance équivalente
à celle de l’appareil. Ne pas laisser pendre le câble d’alimentation sur le bord d’un
comptoir ou d’une table, un enfant pourrait tirer dessus ou s’y accrocher
involontairement.

1. Pour ouvrir le couvercle : tenir fermement la poignée et la tourner dans le sens des
aiguilles d’une montre pour la desserrer.
ATTENTION: VOUS PROTÉGERAVEC UN LINGE SI L’APPAREIL EST ENCORE CHAUD.
2. Mettre les aliments dans la marmite intérieure. Ne pas remplir au delà de la marque
des 2/3. Si vous cuisinez des aliments qui prennent du volume en cuisant tels
que du riz ou des légumes secs, ne pas remplir au delà de la moitié.
REMARQUE: Ne jamais faire chauffer une marmite vide. NE PAS cuisiner les aliments
au dessous du niveau minimum. S’il n’y a pas assez d’aliments à l’intérieur,
la pression s’élèvera trop rapidement pendant la cuisson, il est possible
qu’elle s’élève au delà du niveau normal et que la vapeur s’échappe alors
au travers de la valve à pression
3. Toujours laver le fond de la marmite et la base chauffante avant de placer la marmite
à l’intérieur de l’appareil. Assurez-vous que rien ne se trouve à l’intérieur de l’appareil.
Assurez-vous que la marmite se trouve bien au centre de la base chauffante.
4. Avant de fermer le couvercle, assurez-vous que l’anneau d’étanchéité est bien en
place autour du couvercle intérieur et que le couvercle intérieur est bien en place
sous le couvercle de l’appareil. Tenir la poignée du couvercle fermement et le placer
au dessus de l’appareil, tourner jusqu’à ce qu’il soit bien en place et bloqué (veuillez
suivre les schémas ci-dessous). Puis tourner la poignée du couvercle dans le sens
inverse des aiguilles d’une montre jusqu’à ce que le couvercle soit bien fermé dans la
position indiquée ci-dessous. En position fermée, la poignée du couvercle devrait être
alignée avec les poignées de l’appareil qui se trouvent sur le côté.

5. Placer la valve à pression sur le couvercle: la rainure de la valve et sa base sur le
couvercle doivent être alignées pour que l’appareil puisse pressuriser correctement.
NOTE: Si la valve à pression n’est pas fermée correctement, l’appareil ne se mettra pas
en marche.
REMARQUE: il est commun de voir apparaitre un peu de condensation sur le fond de la
valve. Cela fait partie de la marche normale de l’appareil
6. Tableau de fonctions:
a) Brancher l’appareil sur la prise murale, l’appareil émettra un son, tous les voyants
lumineux des différents programmes commenceront à clignoter et le LED s’allumera
et marquera 0:00. Si aucune action n’est prise pendant les quelques minutes qui
suivent, les voyants et le LED s’éteindront jusqu’à ce qu’à ce qu’on appuie sur une
touche.
b) Pour commencer, appuyer sur la touche “Fonction” et sélectionner le programme de
cuisson désiré. Une fois le programme sélectionné, le voyant lumineux de ce
programme s’allumera et le LED montrera le temps que prendra la cuisson une
fois que l’appareil est sous pression. Pour chaque programme, le temps de cuisson
commencera seulement après la préchauffe qui prend environ 14 minutes. Le temps
de préchauffe varie en fonction du volume, de la quantité, du poids et de la
température des aliments à cuire. Veuillez-vous reporter au tableau ci-dessous
pour les temps de cuisson selon les différents aliments. Le temps de préchauffe
peut être écourté si l’appareil est utilisé plusieurs fois de manière consécutive sans
le laisser refroidir.
