INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
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 fill line when cooking any
food, other than rice in the pressure cooker. The other marking is MAX RICE CUP and is
used when cooking rice. When pressure cooking rice, never fill 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 (Figure
12). For foods such as dried vegetables and beans, or
rice and grains, the total volume must not exceed 1/2
the capacity (Figure 13). Overfilling may clog the
pressure limit valve, which can cause excess pressure
to develop. Figure 12 - 13
Always use at least ½ cup liquid when pressure cooking.

WARNING: To avoid a serious burn injury when cooking foods other than rice, never
exceed the Figure 13 2/3 MAX PRESSURE COOK mark of the combined volume of
liquids and solids (Figure 12 - 13).
