Functions Brown and Slow Cook do not have default pressure cooking time
because they do not use pressure cooking.
When you select a function and enter into the program, the display will show the default
pressure cooking time (for rice is 12 minutes), and the pressure cooker starts to heat up.
The default pressure cooking time shows on display will NOT start counting down until
the food or liquid has heated up and the pressure cooker has started pressure cooking.
Heating time normally takes more than 10 minutes depending on food quantity.
4. The menu indicator light will flash for 5 seconds before starting the menu. After 5
seconds, the indicator light will stop flashing to indicate that the cooking process has
started.
During this 5-second interval you can change the default cooking time by pressing the
plus (+) or minus (-) button on the panel.
At any time during the process, the program can be canceled by pressing the
Cancel/Keep Warm button. The pressure cooker will then go into Standby mode.
5. As the pressure increases inside the cooker, the floating valve will pop up.
At this point pressure cooker begins. The lid is now locked and cannot be opened.
CAUTION! NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE LID
WHILE PRESSURE COOKING!
Note: The Pressure Active indicator will light up a
nd indicate that the unit is
under high pressure.
After cooking time has ended, the pressure cooker will automatically go into Keep Warm
mode. The cooker makes an audible beep. The Keep Warm indicator light is on to show
the cooker is in Keep Warm mode. The display will count up the elapsed minutes and let
you know how long the cooker has been in Keep Warm mode. The PressureActive
indicator goes off automatically when the cooker goes into Keep Warm mode. Be aware
that the cooker is still under high pressure at that moment. Do not attempt to open the

lid. Release the pressure first.
Opening the Lid
When pressure cooking has come to an end, the cooker will go into Keep Warm mode.
At this point you may choose to open the lid. Therefore, the pressure needs to be
released. This can be done in two ways:
1. Quick pressure release: Move the Exhaust Valve to the VENT position. Steam will
immediately begin to release through the valve. When pressure is fully released, the
floating valve will sink. The lid will now be unlocked to open.
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN OPENING THE COVER.
SERIOUS BURNS CAN RESULT FROM STEAM INSIDE THE UNIT.
CAUTION: KEEP HANDS AND FACE FROM THE VALVE WHILE
VENTING.
Hot steam escaping from the valve may cause serious injuries if precautions are not
followed. Use pot holders, tongs or other tools to adjust the valve.
2. Natural pressure release: is recommended when cooking foods that will not have
the tendency to overcook, such as potatoes, beans, soups and stews. When in Keep
Warm mode, the pressure will begin to drop. This will take from 12 to 30 minutes.
During this time cooking continues slightly. When pressure is fully released, the float
valve will sink. The lid will be now unlocked to open.
CAUTION: KEEP HANDS AND FACE FROM THE VALVE WHILE
VENTING.

Hot steam escaping from the valve may cause serious injuries if
precautions are not followed. Use pot holders, tongs or other tools to
adjust the valve.
USE POT HOLDERS WHEN REMOVING THE REMOVABLE COOKING POT. NEVER
FORCE THE LID TO OPEN.
THE LID WILL ONLY OPEN WHEN ALL PRESSURE IS RELEASED.
REMOVE THE LID BY LIFTING IT AWAY FROM YOU TO AVOID INJURES CAUSED
BY HOT STEAM.
