9. When LED displays “0” cooking has
finished. The appliance will sound
5 beeps.

Release Valve, press the Steam Release
Button until initial bursts of steam have
been released. Then you may either
continue to press the Steam Release
Button or rotate the Pressure Release
Valve until all steam has been released
and safety locking pin has dropped.
11. Wait 1 minute after releasing pressure to
unlock and remove lid.
12. To open lid turn handle in a
counterclockwise direction until
aligning “ALIGN” arrows to the OPEN
position. This should be effortless.
13. Check food to see if it has been cooked
sufficiently. If not, replace lid and lock
into position following the previous steps.
IMPORTANT
• It can take from 30 seconds to
20 minutes to bring food to
pressure, depending on the food
and quantity being cooked. To
speed this time up use boiling, not
cold liquid.
• Do not fill removable cooking bowl
higher than MAX line marking on
the inside of the cooking bowl.
• Do not exceed the mark line 8
on the inside of the cooking bowl
when pressure cooking foods that
expand; for example, dried beans,
grains and legumes.
• The minimum amount of combined
food and liquid to be added to
removable cooking bowl for Pressure
Cook recipes cooking in under
10 minutes is 1 quart (4 cups).
Anything less might boil dry and
the appliance will not function.
Additional liquid may need to be
added during cooking.
• Never operate appliance when
it is empty. Do not cook with less
than 1 quart of combined food
and liquid.
• Never use oil or milk as a cooking
liquid such as deep frying or
making custards. Only use hot/
warm liquids particularly after
sautéing to avoid any damage
to the removable cooking bowl.
Adding hot liquids also reduces the
time to reach pressure.
