1. Automatic temperature control: Appliance will automatically stop heating, if the
cooking pot is missing/empty or operating without enough liquids.
2. Automatic pressure control: If the internal pressure exceeds maximum pressure
value, the appliance will automatically start releasing pressure through the pressure
release valve.
3. Extreme pressure protection: If the automatic temperature and pressure control
safety devices become invalid and the pressure inside the pot reaches maximum
value, the appliance will automatically start releasing pressure from the lid.
4. Anti-blocking steam vent device: A specially designed cover avoids food
particles from blocking the pressure release valve (under the lid) while in operation
and ensure steam exhausts smoothly during the cooking process.
5. Overheat safety device: The appliance will automatically disconnect if excessive
temperature is built up inside the cooking pot.
6. Special safety lid mechanism: The appliance is equipped with a locking lid
mechanism that prevents the appliance from operating if lid is not properly locked.
Locking mechanism also prevents the lid from opening when appliance is pressurized.
7. Extreme pressure control: The appliance will automatically disconnect if it reaches
extreme pressure level.
BEFORE FIRST USE

COOKING PROGRESS DISPLAY
The Starfrit electric pressure cooker is designed with a unique feature that allows you to
cook any meal with peace in mind. The digital cooking stage display helps you monitor
the cooking stages every step of the way.
HEATING: HEATING will start immediately after a cooking function is selected.
Heating stage will light up and display will show rolling bars indicating that the
heating stage has started. During the heating stage the appliance will gradually reach
maximum temperature. Heating time may vary depending on food and quantity as well
as external factors such as ambient temperature.
PRESSURIZING: PRESSURIZING stage will light up and pressure will start to build
inside the appliance. Display will continue showing rolling bars . Pressurizing time
may vary depending on food and quantity as well as external factors such as ambient
temperature (between 8-10 min). Pressure release valve will go up indicating the
appliance is pressurized.
COOKING: The appliance will switch to Cooking once maximum pressure temperature
is reached. Display will show total pressure-cooking time (0:00). Each cooking style
function has a preset cooking time. Cooking time displayed represents pressure
cooking time not total cooking time. Total cooking time may vary depending on
food and quantity. Pressure release valve will remain up indicating the appliance is
pressurized. Do not try to force the lid open while the appliance is in use.
DEPRESSURIZING: The appliance will beep 5 times when pressure cooking time is
over and automatically switch to pressure release mode. The pressure release stage will
light up and the appliance will naturally start releasing internal pressure. This may take
10-15 minutes depending on food and quantity. For a quick release, carefully turn the
steam release vent to the ‘’release ‘’ position . Do not try to force the lid open allow
the appliance to cool down completely. Always use protective oven mitts.
WARM: Once the pressure inside the appliance is completely released, pressure
release valve will drop down and appliance will automatically switch to WARM function.
Warm stage will light up and timer will start counting up by incrementing of 1 minute
for up to 24 hours. Once maximum time is reached, appliance will automatically turn
OFF. Use extreme caution when opening the lid to avoid scalding.
