Pressure Cooker Program
This program will allow you to cook foods under pressure in much less time, as
cooking time is reduced up to 70% compared to traditional cooking methods.
Pressure cooking is Fast, Easy, Healthy!
1. Before every use, make sure the silicone gasket and the pressure regulating
valves are clean and in place.
2. Plug the cord into a wall outlet.
3. Position the removable cooking pot in the cooker, and add the ingredients
following the recipe. When cooking foods under pressure, a minimum of 1 cup
(8 oz) of liquid is required.
SAFETY NOTES:
Do not fill the pot more than ²⁄3full with food and liquid. Do not fill the unit
more than ½ full when cooking foods that expand during cooking.
The following foods should not be cooked under pressure: applesauce,
cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal, split peas, noodles, pasta or rhubarb.
These foods tend to foam, froth and sputter, and may block the pressure
valve.
4. Place the lid on the cooker; align the protruding part of the handle with the
condensation collector, and turn it counterclockwise until it locks into place.
The locking pin will click into place.
5. Turn the pressure regulator knob to PRESSURE.
6. Choose the desired cooking mode by pressing either the HIGH or LOW
pressure button on the control panel. The light on the HIGH/LOW button will
flash and the digital display will show 00:01. This equals 1-minute cooking
time.
7. Set the desired time by pressing the HIGH or LOW button once for each
additional minute or by continuously holding the button down. The longest
cooking time is 99 minutes.
8. Press the START/STOP button to begin cooking. The time selects and
indicator light will stop flashing. If you forget to select a desired cooking time
or forget to press the START/ STOP button, the unit will beep twice and the
digital display will read --:-- after 30 seconds.
9. While building pressure, the display will show either HI or Lo as well as a
series of lines to the left showing the unit is on and building pressure. Be
patient this may take some time depending on the food you are cooking.
10. The unit will begin to count down in minutes once the appropriate pressure
has been reached. The floating valve will rise when the pressure is reached.
WARNING: NEVER TRY TO FORCE THE LID OPEN WHILE YOU ARE COOKING
UNDER PRESSURE. THIS CAN RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
WARNING: NEVER DEEP FRY OR PRESSURE FRY IN THE COOKER. IT IS
DANGEROUS AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE AND SERIOUS DAMAGE.
