Important Safeguards
When using pressure cookers, basic safety precautions should always be followed:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. Close supervision is necessary when the pressure cooker is used near children.
4. Do not place the pressure cooker in a heated oven.
5. Extreme caution must be used when moving a pressure cooker containing hot liquids.
6. Do not use pressure cooker for other than intended use.
7. This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury. Make certain unit is properly
closed before operating. See Operating Instructions.
8. Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice or dried
vegetables, do not fill the unit over 1/2 full. Over filling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and
developing excess pressure. See Food Preparation Instructions.
9. Be aware that certain foods, such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split
peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or spaghetti can foam, froth, and sputter, and clog the pressure release
device (steam vent). These foods should not be cooked in a pressure cooker.
10. Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use.
11. Do not open the pressure cooker until the unit has cooled and all internal pressure has been released. If the
handles are difficult to push apart, this indicates that the cooker is still pressurized – do not force it open. Any
pressure in the cooker can be hazardous. See Operating Instructions.
12. Do not use this pressure cooker for pressure frying with oil.
13. When the normal operating pressure is reached, turn the heat down so all the liquid, which creates the steam,
does not evaporate.
14. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Safety Features
1. CLOSING SAFETY
The special locking mechanism allows pressure-cooking
only if the switch is properly turned to the “pressure cooker
locked” position.
2. COOKING SAFETY
As pressure builds, the indicator automatically rises so that
it keeps the cover from opening until pressure is reduced.
Do not attempt to force the pressure cooker open when
the indicator has risen.
3. SAFETY VALVE
If the regulator valve is blocked and pressure continues to
rise, the safety valve will release excess steam and reduce the
pressure inside the cooker. In this event, immediately turn off the
heat source and wait for the steam to stop. The pressure cooker
must be cooled down until the indicator pin goes down. When
the indicator pin has gone down, you will be able to open your
pressure cooker safely. Before reusing your pressure cooker,
make sure the safety devices are unobstructed (refer to the
maintenance section).
4. PRESSURE RELEASE WINDOW
If in the very unlikely event the safety valve fails to function,
a pressure release window on the side of the cover will
automatically activate to safely vent the steam. In this case
do not reuse your pressure cooker until you have had it
checked by the Royal Prestige Service Center.

Set Up
• Make sure there is liquid in the pressure cooker.
The absence of liquid in the pressure cooker can
cause overheating and serious damage.
• Make sure the regulator valve is unobstructed.
• Make sure the indicator pin moves up and down
freely, is visible and clean.
• Make sure the safety valve is unobstructed
• Make sure the gasket is positioned properly in the cover.
Operation
Your pressure cooker is compatible with all types of cook tops.
• If you use a gas cook top, the flame should not extend
beyond the base of the pressure cooker.
• If you use any other heat source, make sure that the
diameter of the burner is smaller than or equal to the base
of the pressure cooker.
• If you use an induction cook top, make sure that your
pressure cooker is in the middle of the heat zone marked on
the burner.
• Never use aluminum foil or plastic film in the pressure
cooker. This may obstruct the regulator valve, the indicator
pin or the safety valve.
1. OPENING BEFORE USING (COLD)
Rotate the knob to the
unlocked position. The clamps
will open exposing the red
arm covers. Remove cover
from base.
2. FILLING THE PRESSURE COOKER
Never fill the pressure cooker more than two thirds full. For
certain foods, which expand or cause the water to froth when
cooking, do not fill pressure cooker more than one third full.
3. OPERATING THE LID
4. COOKING
Position the regulator valve so
that indicator is pointing toward
the pressure icon.
Turn the knob to the
locked position.
Make sure the gasket is
positioned correctly in the cover
by following the diagram below.
Turn the knob to the
“Open” Position.
Place the lid on the
pressure cooker.

COOKING WITH CERTAIN FOODS:
• Certain meats, like ox tongue, have a surface skin which
inflates under the effect of pressure. Do not prick the
meat while the skin is inflated. It could spurt hot liquid and
scald you.
• Certain foods such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley,
oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni,
rhubarb or spaghetti can foam, froth and sputter and obstruct
the safety devices. These foods should not be cooked in a
pressure cooker.
6. DECOMPRESSION
As soon as you have finished cooking:
• Turn off the heat source
• To move the pressure cooker, use only the handles. Do not tip
the pressure cooker; it contains very hot liquid.
Rotate regulator valve indicator
to pressure release icon.
Steam will release quickly so
be careful!
Wait until the pressure
indicator has gone down.
Rotate the knob to the unlock
position and remove the lid.
• Place the pressure cooker on the heat source (which
should be turned up as high as possible, unless the recipe
specifically states otherwise). Never put your pressure cooker
in an oven. When using a gas stove, do not allow flames to
extend beyond the bottom.
• As a result of the pressure, the indicator pin will rise and lock
the knob.
• When you hear a mild hissing noise of steam escaping from
the regulator valve, you should turn down the heat, as long as
you always hear a hissing noise. Cooking time is just as long
and you will save on energy.
• If you notice anything irregular in the functioning of your
pressure cooker, remove it from the heat source,
decompress it (see section 5) and consult the section
entitled “Troubleshooting”.
• If you use salt, dissolve it in water before putting it in the
pressure cooker.
5. COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
• When normal operating pressure is reached, turn the heat
down so all the liquid does not evaporate while still allowing a
small amount of steam to escape.
• Make sure that you can always hear a hissing noise from
the regulator valve as this indicates that there is liquid in
the pressure cooker. Do not expect to see the regulator spin
round; this is not what it is designed to do.
ALWAYS ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING QUANTITIES WHEN FILLING
YOUR PRESSURE COOKER:
• At least 1 cup of liquid with every use.
• Never use more than two-thirds of the volume of the
pressure cooker.
• Never use more than one-third the volume of the pressure
cooker for ingredients that tend to increase in size during
cooking. *SEE OPERATION SECTION.
• Over-filling may obstruct the safety devices allowing
excessive pressure to develop.

Cleaning and Care
1. CLEANING AFTER USE
• It is best not to leave food in the pressure cooker after
cooking. The acidity of certain foods may damage and
discolor the utensil.
• Wash the pressure cooker in hot soapy water with a soft
cloth or sponge after every use. Do not clean the pressure
cooker with an abrasive or chlorinated product such as
bleach. If there are calcium deposits on the pressure cooker,
clean with vinegar and rinse thoroughly.
Never put the lid or the gasket in the dishwasher.
• Remove the gasket from the cover and carefully clean both
in hot soapy water after every use. Annual replacement of
the gasket is recommended.
• Rotate knob to the disassemble position.
• Remove pressure containment system retainer nut to
separate it from the lid assembly.
• If residual matter is obstructing the safety devices, remove
it with the help of a needle or other pointed tool.
2. STORING
When storing your pressure cooker, remove the gasket and place
it in the bottom of the cooker, turn the lid upside down and place
on the pressure cooker. Do not leave the gasket on the lid.
