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.
