stovetop methods.
For decades, our culinary design division has created
some of the most useful and popular kitchen appliances
for worldwide use. The Power Pressure Cooker XL
™is the
latest in our distinguished line.

less energy is wasted in a shorter cooking time.
The “sealed” cooking process eliminates messy stovetop
spills while “trapping” heat, making for cooler kitchens
and easier cleanups.
Before You Begin
The Power Pressure Cooker XL
™will provide you many
years of delicious family meals and memories around the
dinner table. But before you begin, it's very important that

building pressure or allow steam to come out from the
• DO NOTTOUCH HOTSURFACES. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against electric shock, DO NOT IMMERSE or
rinse cords or plugs in water or other liquid.
• This appliance should NEVER BE OPERATED BY
CHILDREN, and special care should be taken when the
unit is in use in their presence.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before
cleaning. ALLOW TO COOL before putting on or taking
off parts.
• DO NOT OPERATE any appliance with a damaged
cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has
been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the
nearest authorized service facility for examination,
repair or adjustment.
• DO NOT USE any attachments or utensils that were not
recommended or supplied by the manufacturer. The
use of attachments not recommended for use by the
manufacturer may cause serious hazardous situations
including personal injury.
• DO NOT USE outdoors.
• DO NOT LET CORD HANG over edge of table or counter,
or touch hot surfaces.
• DO NOT PLACE on or near a hot gas or electric burner,
or in a heated oven. Extreme caution must be used
when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other
hot liquids.
• ALWAYS ATTACH PLUGTOAPPLIANCE FIRST, then plug
cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, set any control
to ”Off”, then remove plug from wall outlet.
• DO NOT USE appliance for anything other than its
intended use.
• This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may
result in scalding injury. MAKECERTAIN unit is properly
closed before operating.
• NEVER FILLTHE UNIT above the MAX LINE in the Inner
Pot. When using foods that expand during cooking such
as rice or dried beans, follow the recipe for “pressure
cooking” those products, and as a rule of thumb, do not
fill the unit above the “halfway” point. Overfilling may
cause clogging, allowing excess pressure to develop.
See Instructions For Use.
• BEAWARE that certain foods, such as applesauce,
cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals,
split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, and spaghetti,
can foam, froth, sputter, and clog the pressure release
followed carefully to avoid problems.
• ALWAYS CHECK the pressure release devices for clogs
before use.
• DO NOT OPEN the Power Pressure Cooker XL until
the unit has cooled and all internal pressure has been
released. If the unit 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.
See Instructions For Use.
• DO NOT USE this pressure cooker for pressure frying
with oil.

Built-in Safety Features
The unit has a magnetic safety sensor to assure the lid is
properly closed and the unit can pressurize. If the lid is not
on correctly, a beeping noise will occur, and also "Lid" will
appear on the display, indicating the lid is not fully closed
and the unit cannot pressurize. See the General Operating
Instructions section to familiarize how to properly place
the lid on the unit and lock it securely.
NOTE:The sauté and slow cooking options will not need
the lid on to cook. It is recommended to have the lid on
while slow cooking to prevent splatter.
Magnetic Sensor (For Lid)
The Red pressure indicator on lid indicates that the unit is
pressurized. DO NOT touch or press the indicator, doing
so will release hot steam which reduces the unit’s pressure
and possibly cause injury. Always use the manual pressure
release valve to release pressure.
IMPORTANT:Always check if the Red Pressure Indicator is
down before attempting to open the unit.The Red Pressure
Indicator will lower when the unit is without pressure.
Red Pressure Indicator(On Lid)
It prevents pressure build-up if lid is not closed properly.
DO NOT attempt to open when pressurized.
IMPORTANT:
• Always fully close the lid.
• If the lid is not properly closed and misaligned,
immediately unplug unit and release pressure with the
Lid Safety Device
Maintain even heat and pressure by automatically
activating or deactivating the power supply.
Pressure&Temperature Sensors
Should all safety features fail, this “spring-loaded” safety
pressure release device located beneath the heating
element will automatically lower the Inner Pot, causing it
to separate automatically from the Rubber Gasket.
This will enable the steam and pressure to automatically
escape around the pot Lid, avoiding a dangerous situation.
IMPORTANT:Always keep yourself and other objects away
from the unit.
Spring-Loaded Safety Device
Helps prevent food from blocking the steam release port.
Clog Resistant Feature
Should the Temperature/Pressure Sensor device
malfunction, causing pressure to build beyond maximum
setting, the “Back-Up” will automatically “kick in” and
release the built up pressure.

Canning Guide
Food Acidity
The lower the acid content in the food, the greater the potential for spoilage and contamination. Many foods such as fruits
Proper Pressure Canning minimizes the possibility of spoilage and contamination.
The canning process will enable you to prepare and
preserve all of your family’s favorites including fresh and
cooked fruits, vegetables, meats, jams and jellies.
Canning is a great way to bring “out of season” foods to
the table economically.You can buy in bulk now at low
prices and preserve for the future when items are scarce
and more costly.
Note: It is important that you read this guide carefully
following all steps to ensure that the food has been
processed to preserve its nutritional value and is safe for
consumption by your family. Improper canning can lead to
serious health consequences.
Pressure Canning
The Pressure Canning process can be used for all foods and
particularly for those containing little acid. These include
vegetables, meats and seafood.
When canning there is no room for experimentation.
Altering cooking time, ingredients and temperatures can
be dangerous and risky. Using the exact time, temperature

Raw Packing and Hot Packing
Fresh foods contain air. The shelf life of canned food
depends on how much air has been removed during the
canning process. The more air removed, the longer the
shelf life.
Raw Packing
Raw packing is the process of canning fresh but unheated
in their jars. Raw packed foods tend to lose color over time.
Raw packing may be preferable in some recipes.
Hot Packing
Hot packing is the process of canning foods that have been
pre-cooked prior to packing them in their jars.
This reduces the air in the food.
Regardless of the method used, all liquids added to the
foods should always be heated to a boiling point. This will
create a tighter seal.

Canning Guide
e Canning Process
To begin, select a recipe that has been pre-tested and approved
for pressure canning.
Though ingredients vary, generally speaking you will be
processing the food as demonstrated in this guide.
1. Select a pre-tested pressure canning recipe.
Choosing only the freshest ingredients, prepare the food as
fresh-picked ripeness.
2.
3.
4. Place a clean lid on top of the jar and then add a screw band.
Note: Never retighten lids after processing jars. As jars cool,
the jar to form a high vacuum.
If screw bands are too loose, liquid may escape from jars during
processing, and seals may fail.
If screw bands are too tight, air cannot vent during processing,
and food will discolor during storage. Over tightening also may
cause lids to buckle and jars to break, especially with raw-
packed, pressure-processed food. Screw bands are not needed
on stored jars. They should be removed after jars are cooled.
When removed, washed, dried, and stored, screw bands may
to remove, often rust, and may not work properly again.
