7. Do not place a dry / empty cooker on a heat source. Always use water.

8. Do not fill the cooker to more than 2/3 of its capacity. For solids like rice,

meat and vegetables, which expand during cooking do not fill the unit over half

full. Overfilling may cause a risk of clogging the vent tube and developing

excess pressure.

9. Do not pressure cook applesauce, cranberries, rhubarb, pearl barley,

oatmeal or other cereals, split piece, or foods such as noodles, macaroni or

spaghetti. These foods tend to foam, froth and sputter and may block the

vent tube.

10. When you release the pressure using the 3 way safety button, release the

steam gently when cooking rice, lentils / beans as the liquid inside may

froth over.

11. Always check the vent tube for clogging before use. Hold the lid up to

light and look through the vent tube hole to ensure it is clear.

12. For proper closure, the lid handle must be directly above the body

handle.

INTRODUCTION

MANTTRA QUICK AND EASY PRESSURE COOKER is brought to you by

MANTTRA INC.

PRINCIPLE OF PRESSURE COOKING : Under normal circumstances, most foods

cook at 212º F (100º C). This is because the water boils at this temperature in normal

atmospheric pressure.

If the temperature of cooking is raised, foods cook much faster. For example, 36º F

(20º C) increase in temperature allows food to be cooked four times faster, retaining

freshness and nutritional values of the food.

By increasing the steam pressure inside a pressure cooker to 12 lbs per square inch

above the atmospheric pressure, the temperature inside the pressure cooker increases

by 32ºF (18ºC) roughly. Thus, at these higher temperatures food cooks much faster.

This is the principle of pressure cooking.

13. Do not open the cooker until the pressure has been reduced to zero.

While there is still pressure in the cooker, do not remove the pressure

regulator. Only if no steam escapes when the 3 way safety button is

turned to open position, the lid should be opened. The lid should, under

no circumstances, be forced open.

14. Any servicing of the appliance should be performed by Manttra Inc.

(See Warranty Card )

15. Always buy genuine spare parts.

16. Do not use this appliance for deep frying or pressure frying with oil.

17. Do not use the cooker for other than intended use.

18. Before every use, please make sure that the handles are fastened properly.

19. Always keep the space around the ZPD (Ref. page 6) on the inside of the lid and

the ZPD itself clean, to ensure that it functions properly.

20. This product is for household use only.

The Pressure RegulatorThe Pressure Regulator

The Pressure Regulator

The pressure regulator is a device which

operates when the pressure inside the

cooker reaches 12 lbs per sq. inch

( 0.85 kg / sq. cm ) . As soon as the

pressure inside the cooker reaches the

normal cooking pressure, the pressure

regulator releases the steam with a hiss

safely in one direction away from you.

For the normal cooking of food,

5minutes of hiss is adequate to

complete the cooking. The pressure

regulator acts both as an excess pressure

releasing device and a pressure

controlling device.

C. Gasket Release System (GRS)Gasket Release System (GRS)

Gasket Release System (GRS)Gasket Release System (GRS)

Gasket Release System (GRS)

This is a re-settable safety device. If the

pressure regulator fails to function due to

overload or blockage of the vent tube, the

pressure inside the cooker goes above the

normal level. At this stage a portion of

the gasket is pushed out through the slot

in the lid, releasing the steam downwards

safely. The stove should be immediately

switched off taking care to avoid contact

with the line steam issuing out of the slot.

As there is no pressure inside the pres-

sure cooker you may now open the cooker.

Follow instruction on “How to open your

cooker” on the inside front cover page. If

you find any difficulty in opening, gently

push the gasket in with a blunt instrument

such as the handle of a spoon or a fork.

Please allow your cooker to cool and en-

sure that there is no risk of scalding while

handling the cooker. Remove the gasket,

clean it and if necessary the gasket seat-

ing area on the lid and body of the cooker.

Reassemble the gasket on to the lid. Please

check and ensure that the vent tube is clean

and clear. If your cooker is overloaded

beyond recommended capacity, reduce

quantity appropriately before resuming

cooking.

D. The Fusible Safety DeviceThe Fusible Safety Device

The Fusible Safety DeviceThe Fusible Safety Device

The Fusible Safety Device

A fusible safety device has been incorpo-

rated as part of the ZPD. The non-toxic

fusible alloy, of the ZPD floating freely

near the vent tube, is a backup safety de-

vice. In the most unlikely event of the

GRS failing to function the special non-

toxic fusible alloy of the ZPD will melt

and let off the steam safely. This could

happen only when the temperature / pres-

sure rises beyond the normal level due to

the cooker having insufficient water or

food particles blocking / clogging the vent

tube.

Your pressure cooker comes fully

assembled and it is ready to use.

3 way safety button3 way safety button

3 way safety button

This safety feature ensures that your

cooker does not build pressure if the 3

way safety button is not in the correct

position. If the 3 way safety button is

aligned to the “open” position, the ZPD

will not allow steam build up. If the 3

way safety button is aligned to the“steam

release “ position, the pressure regulator

will be raised and will not allow steam

build up.

water must be used for the first 15

minutes of pressure cooking. Add one cup

(7 ozs)for every 15 minutes of additional

cooking time (pressure cooking times are

shown in the recipes ). Please note the

cooking time and put in adequate water

before starting to cook. These quantities

are in addition to the liquid required for

cooking.

2.2.

2. Your pressure cooker should not be

filled more than 2/3rd its capacity for

solids and 1/2 for liquids. When

cooking liquid foods, please use the

quantity of water as specified in the

recipe. For cooking milk dishes, start

with low heat to bring the milk to boil

and then turn it upto pressure.

When cooking beans, lentils, etc.

allow a few minutes before closing

the lid to avoid excess froth. Add a

spoonful of oil or any cooking

medium while cooking.

PROCEDURE:PROCEDURE:

PROCEDURE:

a. Put adequate quantity of water

in the appliance. Then add the

food to be cooked

b. Ensure the gasket is inside the

lid.

c.c.

c. Follow the instructions on inside

front cover page of this book to

close your pressure cooker.

d. Place the cooker on high heat. As

pressure builds up you can see

emission of steam through the lid

handle as it takes a little while

for the ZPD to seal the cooker.

The pressure regulator will hiss

continuously, once it has reached

full pressure. Begin timing the

cooking period from this mo-

ment and lower the heat suffi-

ciently to maintain a gentle hiss-

ing sound and the occasional es-

cape of steam from around the

regulator.

e. After cooking, turn off the heat

source, take the appliance off the

stove and allow it to cool. Do not

attempt to remove the pressure

regulator when there is pressure

inside. You have the option of

releasing the steam by turning

gently the 3 way safety button

to the central position. Now the

pressure regulator will get lifted

and the steam will get released.

f. Once the steam issue stops com-

pletely, turn the 3 way safety but-

ton further to your left till the ar-

row mark on the button gets

aligned to the legend showing

the “open “position of the

cooker. Refer instructions on

“How to close and open ”.

g. Now open the cooker gently.

h. After use wash the appliance in

hot soapy water. Remove the

gasket, wash it and allow it to dry

till next use. Take care when

washing the pressure cooker.

Like all fine cookware we rec-

ommend that you do not place

any parts in the dishwasher.

i. Store the pressure regulator

safely on a shelf.

CAUTION:CAUTION:

CAUTION: Some food stuffs with a lot

of liquid tend to froth. Users are there-

fore advised to take adequate care while

opening the pressure to avoid scalding

injuries.

All metal surfaces of the appliance are

likely to be hot even after pressure inside

the appliance drops to zero. Therefore use

handles on the appliance when moving

and take necessary care to avoid scalds /

burns on account of physical contact with

hot metal surface.
