electric appliance, there are some potential risks. Only operate this cooker
in accordance with the instructions provided and only for its intended
household use.
PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW BEFORE USING THE
APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME.
• Read all of the instructions contained in this manual before using the
appliance.
• This product is not intended for commercial or outdoor use; it is only for
household and indoor use.
• Do not operate the unit if the electric cord or plug is damaged. If the
appliance is not working properly, has been dropped or damaged, left
outdoors or submerged in water, discontinue use immediately and contact
our customer service department at 1-855-928-6748.
• The LUX™ LCD has a NEMA 5-15P, 3 pins plug and a power cord.
• Attach plug to the multi-cooker base first, then insert the power plug into a

ENGLISH
pressure in the cooker can be hazardous.
• Always cook in the removable cooking pot of the multi-cooker. Cooking
without the removable cooking pot may cause an electric shock or damage
to the unit.
• Never deep fry or pressure fry in the cooker. It is dangerous and may cause
a fire and serious damage.
• Never cover or block the pressure valve with anything. This may cause over
pressurizing and may lead to serious accidents.
• While you’re cooking, the lid and the outer stainless steel surface of the
cooker might get hot. Handle with care and carry or move the cooker
using only the side handles. Be very cautious when moving any appliance
containing hot food or liquids.
• Keep hands and face away from pressure regulator knob when releasing
pressure from the cooker to avoid being scalded by hot steam.
• After cooking, use extreme caution when removing the lid. Serious burns
can result from residual steam escaping from inside the unit. Open the lid
facing away from you and allow the drops of water to trickle back from the
lid into the cooker.
• Always unplug and let cool before cleaning and removing parts. Never
attempt to unplug the unit by pulling on the power cable. Keep unplugged
when not in use.
• To reduce the risk of an electric shock, never immerse the plug, power cable
or housing in water or any other liquid. Only the removable cooking pot can
be placed in the dishwasher.
• Only qualified experts may repair and perform maintenance work on the
electric multi-cooker using authentic ZAVOR replacement and accessory
parts. Never attempt to disassemble and repair the multi-cooker yourself.

injury. Make sure the unit is properly closed before operating. See “Pressure
Cooker Program”.
• Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand, such as
rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit more than 1/2 full. Over filling
may result in clogging the vent pipe and will not allow enough room for
proper building of pressure. See “Operating Functions”.
• The following foods tend to foam, froth and/or sputter: applesauce,
cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal, split peas, noodles/pasta, rhubarb, etc.
These items may block the pressure valve if filled too high in the removable
cooking pot. Please be sure when pressure cooking these items to not fill
the removable cooking pot more than half way.
• Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use.

AND MIGHT CONTAIN DROPLETS OF HOT LIQUID. BE SURE TO USE
POT HOLDERS, OVEN MITTS OR A KITCHEN TOWEL WHEN RELEASING
PRESSURE.
b. Natural Release Method: Release the pressure by shutting the unit
off completely. This allows the pressure to drop naturally without turning
the pressure regulator knob to STEAM. This will take several minutes,
during which the food inside will continue cooking. Some recipes (such
as risotto) benefit from this extra cooking time. You will know when the
pressure has been released because the floating valve will drop and you
will be able to open the lid.
12. Once all the pressure is released, remove the lid by turning it clockwise,
lifting it up and tilting it away from yourself to avoid getting burnt by
any remaining steam or hot water condensation dripping from the inner
portion of the lid.
WARNING: AFTER COOKING, THE REMOVABLE COOKING POT WILL
BE HOT.USE POT HOLDERS, OVEN MITTS OR A KITCHEN TOWEL TO
HANDLE IT OR LET IT COOL DOWN BEFORE REMOVING.

Pressure Cooking Fresh or Dried Fruits: To achieve best results when
pressure cooking dried or fresh fruit, please refer to the below tips and hints:
1. The quick release method is recommended when pressure cooking fruit to
prevent overcooking.
2. Half a cup of water is sufficient for cooking any quantity of fruit because
the cooking time is very short.
3. Add sugar to fruit only after it is cooked, not before.

results when cooking with dried or presoaked beans/legumes, please refer to
the below tips and hints:
1. Rinse dried beans/legumes under cold water and drain; discard any
pebbles or other debris in batch.
2. Do not fill cooker more than half full to allow for beans/legumes to expand
in size.
3. Use enough liquid to cover the beans/legumes
4. Do not salt beans/legumes. Using salt while cooking the beans/legumes
will prevent them from cooking properly.
5. Add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to beans/legumes to minimize frothing.
6. For best results when cooking dried beans/legumes, use the natural
release method.

expand in size.
3. Do not use the quick release method to release pressure; use the natural
release method instead.
4. Pearl Barley tends to froth, foam and sputter which may block the pressure
valve if filled too high in the removable cooking pot. Please be sure to not
fill the removable cooking pot more than half way.
