For General Use
Make sure the Sealant Washer is seated properly on the inner steel
ring inside the Lid. (See Figure 1)
1. To remove the Sealant Washer, Pull up from the inner steel ring. The
Sealant Washer should be separated from the inner steel ring for
proper cleaning.
2. To replace the Sealant Washer, Press down into/around the inner
steel ring. The Sealant Washer will make a clicking sound as you press
it firmly into place.
Figure 1
The Floating Valve found on the underside of the Lid should be able to
move up and down freely only stopping when the rubber gasket meets
the Lid. (See Figure 2)
Figure 2
Place Inner Tank into the Outer Tank. Never load Inner Tank more
than 4/5 of the way full (3/5 for foods that expand when cooking) or
less than 1/5 of the way full. Rotate the Inner Tank to make certain that
it is seated properly on the Heating Plate. (See Figures 3-5)
Figures 3, 4 and 5
Place the Water Collector on the
Outer Tank by pushing it up on the
underside of the right Outer Tank
Handle. (See Figure 6)
Figure 6

Place Pressure Lid on Cooker so that the Lid Handle and the Pressure
Discharging Valve are pointed to the “10 o’clock” position. Rotate Lid
counter-clockwise until Lid Handle is in line with the Outer Tank
Handles, and a clicking sound is heard. (See Figures 7-8)
Figures 7 and 8
Insert the Pressure Discharging Valve into the Lid Handle. Push down
until it clicks. Turn the small lever on the Valve so that the SEAL mark is
in line with the Floating Valve opening on the handle. Always be
certain the Pressure Discharging Valve is free floating and clear of any
obstructions. (See Figures 9a and b)
Figures 9a and b
For best results, always check that the Pressure Discharging Valve,
Floating Valve and Sealant Washer are in good working order and that
there are no foreign particles blocking the Valve openings on the
underside of the Lid.
When the unit is first plugged in, it will sound a beep and the LED will
light up with 0000. When a Preset Cooking Option is selected such as
CHICKEN PIECES, the small red indicator light on this selection will light
up for 5 seconds, then the LED will show the applicable Cooking Time (9
minutes). A beep will be heard and a small red indicator light will also
show on the KEEP WARM mode until a pressure of 70 kPa is reached.
A Red ‘P’ will display on the Panel to the left of the Cooking Time once
Pressure is reached, and the red indicator light on the KEEP WARM
button will go out. The time will count back to “00” minutes until the
cooking cycle has completed. Three beeps will be heard and the KEEP
WARM button will display a blinking orange indicator until cancelled.
When the Cooking process is complete... Steam and pressure must be
released completely from the Cooker before the Lid will open. To do
this, carefully turn the small lever on the Valve so that either of the
EXHAUST marks are in line with the Floating Valve opening on the
handle. This will release the steam and pressure from the Cooker, until
the Floating Valve drops.
CAUTION: During this process protect your skin from any contact with
escaping steam.
To open the Lid, hold the Handle and gently turn clockwise until Lid
meets resistance. Lift carefully and place aside. Avoid personal injury
resulting from hot unit surfaces and dripping liquids. (See Figures 10a
and b)

Care and Cleaning
Before using the Pressure Cooker for the first time, wash the Inner Tank,
the Lid, Sealant Washer and Anti-Blocking Case with warm soapy water.
Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.
CLEANING THE SAFETY DEVICES: In addition to the Sealant Washer, other
safety devices on the pressure cooker must also be cleaned after each use.
THE ANTI-BLOCKING CASE: To remove the Anti-
Blocking Case, pull this small metal thimble up
from the inside of the Lid. Apply mild detergent
and wash it under warm running water. Put the
Anti-Blocking Case back in place by pushing it
down until it clicks. (See Figure 12)
Figure 12

THE PRESSURE DISCHARGING VALVE: To remove the Pressure Discharging
Valve, simply pull up and the valve will release from its spring lock
mechanism. Apply mild detergent and wash under warm running water.
Put the Valve back in place by pushing down until it clicks.
After use, unplug unit and allow to cool completely before cleaning.
The Pressure Cooker must be cleaned thoroughly after each use in order to
avoid staining caused by a build-up of food or cooking residue.
DO NOT POUR COLD WATER INTO A HOT PRESSURE COOKER.
Note: To ensure safe operation of this pressure cooker, strictly follow the
cleaning and maintenance instructions after each use. Should a tiny
fragment of food (such as a grain of rice or pea shell) remain in the unit, it
could prevent the safety devices from operating during subsequent use.
IMPORTANT: Always remove the Pressure Discharging Valve and clean to
remove any blockage that might have occurred during the cooking process.
This must be done after each use.
The Inner Tank and Lid should be rinsed under hot running water. Use only
a mild liquid detergent and a soft cloth, sponge or nylon scrubber for
cleaning. Do not use abrasive powders, bicarbonate of soda or bleach. Do
not use scouring pads. Rinse off with clean water and towel dry.
*This Guide is not a substitute for the Owner’s Manual. Refer to this
guide only after you have read the Owner’s Manual thoroughly.
When cleaning the Lid, the Sealant Washer must be removed and washed
separately with a sponge or soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Rinse off
with clean water and towel dry.
Remove the Water Collector and spill out water if necessary so that it is
empty for next use.
WIPE BASE AFTER EACH USE WITH A SOFT, DAMP CLOTH OR SPONGE,
MAKING SURE ALL FOOD RESIDUE IS REMOVED. DO NOT IMMERSE BASE IN
WATER.
Never use harsh chemical detergents, scouring pads or powders on any of
the parts or components.
• The Sealant Washer must always be properly positioned on the
underside of the Lid. Check periodically to make sure that it is clean,
flexible and not torn. If damaged, do not use this unit.
• Always check that the Pressure Discharging Valve and Floating Valve are
in good working order and debris free.
Note: The Sealant Washer must be replaced every year, or sooner if
necessary. It may also need replacing if Pressure Cooker is not used for a
long period of time, as it can harden from disuse, making it unable to form
an airtight seal. The Sealant Washer must be replaced only with another
one of the correct type and size for this Pressure Cooker.
