Short Cord Purpose
NOTE:
A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer power-supply cords or extension cords are
available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the product;
2. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.
Pressure Seal Ring/Silicone Gasket Assembly
Always ensure the Silicone Gasket is securely tted onto the metal Y-shaped ring in the interior
of the Lid. Make sure the crease in the Silicone Gasket meets with the outside of the Y-Ring all
the way around. Then place the Y-Ring and Silicone Gasket back into the Lid making sure the
hole in the center of the Y-Ring's cross-section is lined up with the metal pin in the center of the
Lid. Press down rmly until the Y-Ring is secured onto the Lid.
FEATURES
Multifunctional Pressure Cooker
1. Multiple functions for cooking, stewing, braising and simmering.
2. Cooking will be done automatically by selecting the different menu choices on the unit.
3. The pressure cooker also has its own memory. During interruptions such as a power failure,
the unit will automatically resume the cooking cycle when power returns.
Power Saving and Rapid Cooking Time
By using high pressure and high temperatures, food is cooked much more rapidly. This reduces
the cooking time and consumption of power. For example:
when cooking rice, this pressure cooker will save up to 20% of the electricity and up to 15% of
the time when compared to a conventional rice cooker. When cooking stew, soups or braising
meats, this cooker will save more than 40% of time and more than 45% of power compared to
a conventional slow cooker. Cooking can also be done at high altitudes.
Preserves Nutrients and Promotes Healthy Eating
Airtight cooking methods preserve nutrients and original avors of food.

OVERVIEW
Cooking Pot Markings
Inside the removable cooking pot are two sets of
markings. One side is marked "2/3 MAX PRESSURE
COOK", which indicates the maximum ll line when
cooking any food, other than rice, in the pressure
cooker. The other marking is “CUP” and is used
when cooking rice. When pressure cooking rice,
never ll the pressure cooker with water past the 6
cup marking.
1. Open lid, remove cooking pot from pressure
cooker and add food and liquids.
NOTE: The total volume of food and liquid must
not exceed 2/3 of the capacity of the cooking pot.
For foods such as dried vegetables and beans, or
rice and grains, the total volume must not exceed
1/2 the capacity. Overlling may clog the pressure
limit valve, which can cause excess pressure to
develop. Always use at least 1/2 cup liquid when
pressure cooking.
WARNING: To avoid a serious burn injury when
cooking foods other than rice, never exceed the
2/3 mark of the combined volume of liquids and
solids.
2. Ensure the inner receptacle, where the Heating
Plate is located, is clean and dry before inserting
2/3
1/2
sound can be heard.
• To ensure you are properly closing the lid, line up the “Open” and “Close” markings on the Lid
and pressure cooker body.
Water Test
To ensure correct assembly of the Silicone Gasket before the rst use, it is recommended to
read the following instructions and ll the Inner Pot with water to the 2/3 line and program to
pressure cook for 30 minutes. Once completed, pour out the water, rinse and towel dry the
Inner Pot. The pressure cooker is now ready for use.
Lid Safety Lock System
Note: This unit has a built-in safety feature that prevents all functions from activating if the Lid
is not properly locked/secured into place.
Cooking presets cannot be selected if the Lid is not properly locked/secured into place. The
display will show "Lid" and continuously beep until the Lid is properly closed. You will not be
able to select a cooking function.
This prevents the unit from cooking without the lid being properly secured. The SAUTE function
will still work, as this function does not use the Lid.

With the lid securely locked in place, unit on and the LCD displayed, select the button for the
desired cooking function by reading the following instructions:
• There are 17 menu functions pre-programmed in your pressure cooker—RICE, SOUP, EGGS,
MEAT/STEW, BEAN/CHILI, POULTRY, MULTIGRAIN, BEEF, STEAM, PORRIDGE, PORK/RIBS,
DESSERT, RISOTTO, VEGETABLES, SAUTE, YOGURT, SLOW COOK.
• The default times are programmed for quick and easy cooking for small portions of food less
than 3 pounds. When cooking food more than 3 pounds, use the Custom Manual function.
Each of the default times is programmed to detect the weight of food being cooked and how
much liquid is inside the pot during the cooking cycle.
• The unit will automatically build up pressure, cook the food and go to KEEP WARM when

1. Natural Release:
Following pressure cooking, allow the unit to remain on KEEP
WARM.
The pressure will begin to drop—time for pressure to drop depends on the amount of liquid in
the cooker and the length of time that pressure was maintained. Natural Release can take from
15 to 30 minutes.
During this time, cooking continues so it is recommended for certain cuts of meats, soups, rice
and some desserts. When pressure has fully released, the Float Valve will drop and the Lid will
unlock to open. With a safety feature, the Lid will not open unless all pressure is released. Do
not force the Lid open. If the Lid feels tight, please allow additional time for pressure to fully
release before attempting to open the Lid.
