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.

Pressure Cooker Lid Markings
Please note the "Open" and "Close" markings on the rim of the pressure cooker body and the
“ ” on the rim of the Lid. To properly close and secure the pressure cooker Lid, always line up
the “ ” marking on the Upper Ring with the “ ” on the rim of the Lid.
Condensation Cup Assembly
The Condensation Cup is the clear plastic piece that snaps into the back side of the pressure
cooker. Attach condensation cup in rear of the unit until it locks into place.
Pressure Limiting Valve Warning
WARNING: To avoid serious injury, always use tongs or a long kitchen tool to set the valve to
Venting.
CAUTION, HOT STEAM: Keep hands and face away from the pressure limiting valve when
rotating to Venting.

UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
Before First Use
1. Remove packaging materials such as cardboard, plastics or Styrofoam and discard
appropriately.
2. Clean all the parts by wiping with a soft damp cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly.
3. Clean the cooking pot in the dishwasher or with warm soapy water. Rinse, towel or air-dry
and place in the pressure cooker.
Lid Assembly
1. How to open the lid:
Hold the handle rmly while pushing down on the red lid release button, turn the lid counter-
clockwise until it loosens and lift vertically; the lid can stand on the Lid Rest Tab.
Note: For new units, the seal of the Lid may be slightly stronger than normal and may be
slightly difcult to unlock. Once the Lid has been opened and closed several times, it will
loosen up.
2. How to close the lid:
Observe the Silicone Gasket ring inside the Lid and ensure that it is tted into the lid all the way
around.
Caution:
• If the rubber seal ring is damaged, do not use the pressure cooker. Contact Rosewill Tech
Support to repair or replace.
• To lock Lid in place, remove any food residue from the cooking pot’s Upper Ring to ensure
a proper seal. Take the Lid off the Lid Rest, hold the Handle and close it downwards at the

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.

OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS
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
cooking is complete.
the Inner Pot into the pressure cooker. Adjust the pot left and right to ensure optimal contact
between the Inner Pot and the Heating Plate.
3. “Close” and lock the lid.
4. Adjust the Pressure Limiting Valve to the “Sealing” position and ensure that the Float Valve
sinks.
5. When adjusting the Pressure Limiting Valve to either the "Sealing" or the "Venting" positions,
line up the marking on the Pressure Limiting Valve with the arrow on the Handle as shown in
gure.
6. Plug the power cord into the pressure cooker and then into the wall outlet. The LCD display
will show “OFF”.

After Selecting A Menu Button
1. Turn the Menu Knob to select one of the preset functions. Then, select one mode among
“Less”, “Normal” and “More” via the ADJUST button. The Default Cook Time will display for
the selected setting.
For example:
If RICE is selected, the display will show OO 12. The cook time can be adjusted by rotating
the dial after you select desired menu function and press the dial once.
2. Once you press START, the LCD screen will display OO XX and the unit will begin heating.
3. As the unit heats up and pressure builds, the Float Valve will rise. The amount of liquid
and other ingredients in the pressure cooker determines the length of time needed for full
pressure to build—generally 5 to 40 minutes.
4. If you use the same rice example, while the unit is building up pressure, the LCD display
will show “ON”. The Pre-Heating Icon will illuminate. The LCD screen will not begin to
countdown until the pressure has built up to capacity. Once it begins to pressure cook, the
Pressurized Icon will illuminate. The LCD display will show P:12 and begin countdown.
5. The raised Float Valve indicates you are cooking under pressure. The Lid is now locked and
cannot be opened.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE LID WHILE PRESSURE COOKING.

Auto KEEP WARM Feature
When cooking has completed, the pressure cooker will beep and automatically switch to
KKEEP WARM function, except after the YOGURT function. The KEEP WARM indicator light
and KEEP WARM icon will illuminate and the display will show 00:00; it will display how
long the pressure cooker has kept warm. After 24 hours, the pressure cooker will automatically
switch to “OFF”.
NOTE:
It is not recommended that the KEEP WARM setting be used for more than 4 hours. The quality
and texture of food will begin to change after 1 hour on KEEP WARM. A bit of condensation in
the upper ring during KEEP WARM is normal. To set the pressure cooker to KEEP WARM, press
the KEEP WARM button until the display shows 00:00.
To Reset Or Cancel
User can reset or cancel any function at any time by pressing the KEEP WARM/CANCEL button
until it shows “OFF”.
Removing Lid After Pressure Cooking
When the pressure cooking cycle has completed, the unit will
automatically switch to KEEP WARM. At this point, you may release
in either way—Natural Pressure Release or Quick Pressure Release.
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.
2. Quick Release (recommended for foods that should be Medium or Medium-Rare):
Following pressure cooking, the cooker will beep 3 times and go to KEEP WARM. Press the
CANCEL button. Using an oven mitt or long utensil, carefully turn the Pressure Limiting Valve to
the “Venting” position to release pressure until the Float Valve sinks.
NOTE: You cannot adjust the Pressure Limiting Valve to the “Venting” position immediately after
using the PORRIDGE and SOUP functions. It is crucial that the Float Valve sinks before any
attempts are made to open the Lid.
CAUTION, HOT STEAM—RISK OF SCALDING: USE TONGS OR A LONG UTENSIL TO
TURN THE VALVE. KEEP HANDS AND FACE AWAY FROM PRESSURE LIMITING VALVE.
How To Use the SAUTE Function
This setting allows cooking over high heat without the Lid. Before pressure cooking, most
recipes will benet from the golden color, richer avors and moist results gained from
SAUTEing.
