OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

HOW TO USE THE

There are five Menu Buttons programmed for your pressure cooker. These are provided for quick and

easy cooking for small portions of food in addition to manual programming. (When cooking food that

is more than 3-4lbs. or more than 6-cups, please use the Timed Cooking function.) Each of these

choices is programmed to detect the weight of food being cooked and how much liquid is inside the

pot during the cooking cycle. The unit will automatically build up the pressure, cook the food and go

to Keep Warm when cooking is complete.

MENU BUTTON SELECTIONS & APPROXIMATE COOK TIMES:

SOUP & STEW 20 – 25 minutes RICE & RISOTTO 5- 10 minutes

MEAT & CHICKEN 10 – 15 minutes POTATOES & YAMS 15-20 minutes

BEANS & GRAINS 25 – 30 minutes

1) Prepare desired food and place into cooking pot.

2) Secure the lid onto the unit, turn it Counter-clockwise to lock it properly in place.

3) Make sure the Pressure Limiting Valve (3) is set to the “Airtight” position.

4) Plug the power cord into a 110-120V power outlet.

5) The LCD screen will display 0 00

6) Choose the desired Menu Button. Press the Menu Button, the indicator light will illuminate.

The pressure cooker will begin to operate. There is no need to press the START button.

7) When proper pressure is achieved, the LCD screen will display P 00

8) When the unit has pressurized, it will begin to pressure-cook the food. You may hear quiet

hissing or sizzling sounds coming from inside of the unit during this time.

NOTES & TIPS #3:

• During the Pressure Building process, you may notice steam or pressure escaping from the

Pressure Limiting Valve (3). Carefully adjust the valve by moving it gently or turning it side to

side gently using tongs or similar utensil until it seals properly.

• If any steam is escaping around the lid, it means that the Rubber Seal Ring (21) may not have

completed a tight seal when the lid was locked. Cancel the cooking process, release pressure

manually or naturally, remove the lid and check the Rubber Seal Ring (21). Reposition the lid

and ensure that it is secure. Start the cooking process again.

NOTES & TIPS #2:

When pressing a Menu Button, the LCD screen will not immediately change until the pressure has

built up to capacity. This may take approximately 5-10 minutes depending on the quantity of food

you are cooking.

NOTES & TIPS #4:

• When cooking soups or stews with other hearty ingredients such as potatoes or meat, as much as

5 or 6 cups of liquid must be used to prevent ingredients from over-cooking or burning.

NOTES & TIPS #5:

• NATURAL RELEASE

(may take 10-15 minutes), the pressure cooker may still be heated and cooking the food

slightly.
