WARNING
Only use the cooking bowl
intended for this appliance;
using cooking vessels not
provided will result in a
non-resettable issue.
• Do not touch hot surfaces.
Appliance surfaces are hot
during and after operation.
To prevent burns or personal
injury, always use protective
hot pads or insulated oven
mitts, or use handles or knobs
where available.
• Do not place the appliance near
the edge of a bench or table
during operation. Ensure that
the surface is dry, level, clean
and free of any liquid and other
substances.
• Always operate the appliance
on a stable and heat resistant
surface. Do not use on a cloth-
covered surface and position
the appliance at a minimum
distance of 20cm away from
walls, curtains, cloths and other
heat sensitive materials.
• Do not place this appliance
on or near a hot gas or electric
burner, or where it could touch
a heated oven.
• Do not operate the appliance
on a sink drain board.
• We recommend not to place
the cooker on a stone bench
top when it’s cooking. This
is due to bench tops being
sensitive to uneven heat and
may crack if heated locally. If
you would like to cook with the
slow cooker on the bench top,
place a chopping board or heat
proof mat underneath
the cooker.
• Cooking appliances should
be positioned in a stable
situation with the handles (if
any) properly secured to avoid
spillage of the hot liquids.
• Do not place anything, other
than lid, on top of the cooker
when assembled, when in use
and when stored.
• Extreme caution must be used
when the cooker contains hot
food and liquids and/or is under
pressure. Improper use may
result in injury. When using this
appliance for pressure cook,
slow cook and steam, ensure the
lid is properly assembled and
locked into position before use.
• Do not move the cooker when
in use.
• Do not use the lid handle to
carry the appliance.
• Before placing removable
cooking bowl into the base
ensure the base of bowl and the
base of the appliance is dry by
wiping with a dry soft cloth.
4
• Do not use a damaged
removable cooking bowl.
Replace before using.
• Do not place food or liquid
directly into the base. Only
the removable cooking bowl
is designed to contain food or
liquid.
• Never operate the cooker
without food and liquid in
the removable cooking bowl.
Ensure a combined minimum
of 4 cups (1 litre) of food and/
or liquid when cooking. Using
less than 4 cups can result in
a reduction of pressurisation.
This minimum quantity
level does not apply for
the LEGUMES and RICE |
GRAINS settings.
• Always ensure there is enough
liquid in the removable
cooking bowl when steaming.
At least 4 cups (1 litre) of liquid
is required when steaming.
• Do not exceed maximum fill
level. Some foods expand
during pressure cooking
such as rice, diced vegetables.
Over filling may cause a risk
of clogging pressure release
valve and safety locking pin
and develop excess pressure.
Always follow the maximum
and minimum quantities of
liquid stated in instructions
and recipes.
• Some food to avoid when
pressure cooking are: apple
sauce, cranberries, pearl
barley, oatmeal and other
cereals, noodles and pasta, and
rhubarb; these foods can foam,
froth and splatter and clog
the pressure release valve and
safety locking pin.
• Before use, always check
pressure release valve and
safety locking pin for clogging
and clean if necessary. Check
to make sure the safety locking
pin moves freely from under
the lid.
• Do not attempt to open the
cooker lid after pressure
cooking until all internal
pressure has been released
and is slightly cooled. If the
lid will not turn to unlock, this
indicates that appliance is
still under pressure – do not
force lid open. Any pressure
remaining can be hazardous.

MANUAL PRESSURE COOK MODE
Pressure Cooking is a method of cooking
food in a small amount of liquid with a gasket
sealed lid that retains steam inside and builds
pressure. It is the increase in pressure that
raises temperature of the liquid and steam
inside to well above boiling point and therefore
allows food to be cooked up to 70% faster. This
means less energy is consumed and you will
enjoy substantial savings in both time and cost.
Because pressure cooked foods require very
little cooking liquid, more vitamins, minerals,
and other nutrients are retained, and the natural
flavours are enhanced.
1. To select the manual pressure cook mode,
press and hold the Pressure Cook button
for 2 seconds.
2. Adjust the cooking pressure by using the
PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE (+/-) buttons.
Pressure can be adjusted from 10 kPa (LOW)
to 80 kPa (HIGH).
3. The figure on the LED screen indicates the
preset cooking time for the selected setting.
Adjust the cooking time by using the TIME
(+ / -) buttons (next to the 4 digit display)
to reduce the cooking time or increase the
cooking time. Time can be adjusted up to 2
hours.
4. Press the STEAM RELEASE button to select
between ‘NATURAL’ , ‘AUTO QUICK’, and
PULSE steam release.
5. Place food into the removable cooking bowl
Ensure there is at least 1L of combined food
and liquid in the bowl.
6. Close the lid and turn the lid knob
clockwise to lock into place. The cooker
alert will sound when the lid has been
locked.
7. Ensure the pressure release valve is placed
on the lid in the closed position.

HANDS- FREE VARIABLE STEAM
RELEASE
The Fast Slow GO™ features 3 steam release
methods:
Auto Quick
Pressure is released quickly to minimise
overcooking of foods or recipes with short
cook times.
This is recommended only for food types that
do not expand or foam when boiling.
Pulse
Pressure is released in bursts to reduce
disturbance to the food inside.
This is recommended for food types that
generate small amount of foam or do not foam
at all when boiling.
Natural
Pressure naturally subsides inside without
releasing steam through the vent to prevent
the disturbance of or breaking apart of
sensitive ingredients like stocks and beans
during pressure release.
Natural pressure release mode is suitable for all
types of food recipes.
NOTE
Some food type (e.g. legumes) that are known
to generate excessive foam can only use
'Natural' Pressure release to prevent food
spillage.
These can be selected using the Steam Release
button
on the control panel during the set
up and steam release cycles. Once selected,
the pressure release valve will automatically
release the steam at the end of the pressure
cooking cycle.
NOTE
The steam or pressure release mode
programmed into each preset cooking modes
are selected for best results. Any changes
to the steam release mode may lead to food
spillage.
CAUTION
Always keep hands and face clear of the
pressure release valve when pressure cooking
as hot steam and water may be emitted during
operation.
MANUAL SLOW COOK MODE
The SLOW COOK setting is designed for long
cook times at low temperatures. It is also ideal
for breaking down tough cuts of meat and
developing deep flavours.

TIPS FOR PRESSURE & SLOW
COOKING
Soup
• The PRESSURE & SLOW COOK SOUP
setting is suitable for cooking a variety of
soups from light broths to hearty minestrone
to pureed vegetable soups.
• Use the SAUTÉ/SEAR settings to brown
meat and soften aromatics prior to cooking.
• To shorten the pressurizing time, add cold
water/stock to bowl while still in the SAUTÉ/
SEAR setting and allow the water to come to
a simmer before pressure cooking.
• Do not overfill the cooking bowl. The total
volume of soup should not exceed the
‘MAX’ level marking inside the removable
cooking bowl.
Stock
• The PRESSURE & SLOW COOK STOCK
setting is suitable for making all kinds of
stock, including chicken, beef and vegetable.
• To make a brown stock, use the SAUTÉ/
SEAR setting to brown bones and vegetables
prior to pressure or slow cooking.
16
• Vegetables such as onions, carrots and celery
should be cut into large pieces. This will help
keep the stock clear and make it easier to
strain at the end of cooking.
• To shorten the pressurizing time, add cold
water to bowl while still in the SAUTÉ/SEAR
setting and allow the water to come to a
simmer before pressure cooking.
• Do not overfill the cooking bowl. The total
volume of water, bones and/or aromatics
should not exceed the ‘MAX’ level marking
inside the removable cooking bowl.
Meat
• The PRESSURE & SLOW COOK MEAT
setting uses high temperature/pressure to
dissolve connective tissue, producing fork-
tender, succulent results. Sauces become
thick and well developed.
• Choose well-marbled cuts of meat for the best
flavour and texture.
• Cut larger pieces of meat into 2 or 3 pieces to
better fit the cooking bowl.
• Use the SAUTÉ/SEAR setting to brown meat
prior to cooking.
• Unlike traditional stewing or braising,
pressure and slow cooking have almost no
evaporation. For deeply flavoured dishes,
use less liquid than called for in traditional
recipes, 1 – 1½ cups (250-375ml) maximum.
• Do not overfill the cooking bowl. The total
volume of uncooked ingredients should not
exceed the ‘MAX’ level marking inside the
removable cooking bowl.
Stew
• The PRESSURE & SLOW COOK STEW
setting is ideal for cooking ground meat, meat
sauces and hearty stews.
• Use the SAUTÉ/SEAR setting to brown meat
and soften aromatics prior to cooking.
• Unlike traditional stovetop methods,
pressure and slow cooking have almost no
evaporation. For thick, rich chillies and stews
use less liquid than called for in traditional
recipes. Use the REDUCE setting after
cooking to thicken foods that are too soupy.
• Do not overfill the cooking bowl. The total
volume of uncooked stew ingredients should
not exceed the ‘MAX’ level marking inside
the removable cooking bowl.
Legumes
• The PRESSURE & SLOW COOK LEGUMES
setting is suitable for cooking all types of
legumes , lentils and dried beans.
• Legumes and other beans can produce
a lot of foam during cooking. The preset
NATURAL steam release setting ensures
foam does not interfere with the steam
release valve.
• Cooking times are based on unsoaked
dried beans. To shorten the cooking time,
soak beans in cold water overnight. Discard
soaking water and cook with fresh cold water
for half of the preset cooking time.
• Use a ratio of 1-part beans to 3 parts water.
• Beans and legumes swell and double in size
after cooking. Do not overfill the cooking
bowl. The total volume of uncooked legumes
and water should not exceed the ‘½’ level
marking inside the removable cooking bowl.
Rice | Grains
• The PRESSURE COOK RICE setting is
designed to cook rice and grains, so they
remain separate and tender. It is suitable for
all types of rice such as long grain, jasmine,
basmati and brown rice.
• When pressure cooking brown rice, increase
the cooking time to 20 minutes.
• Measure or weigh dry rice accurately and
wash well with cold water until water runs
clear. Drain well and place into the removable
cooking bowl.
• Add corresponding water amount. For white
rice use 1.25 parts water to 1-part rice. For
brown rice use 1.5 parts water to 1-part rice.
Refer to the table on the next page for more
information.
• After cooking, allow rice to stand in bowl for 5
minutes before stirring and serving.
• Rice will swell and double in size after
cooking. Do not overfill the cooking bowl.

Risotto
• The PRESSURE COOK RISOTTO setting is
ideal for making creamy risotto, without all
the stirring and in a fraction of the time.
• Use the SAUTÉ/SEAR setting to soften
onions and other aromatics, as well as
deglaze the cooking bowl with wine.
• The key to creamy risotto is toasting the
rice grains before the liquid is added. Use
the SAUTÉ/SEAR setting to toast the rice,
stirring frequently, for 3–5 minutes or until
the edges become transparent and then turn
white.
• With little or no evaporation during pressure
cooking, it is important to keep to the ratio
of 1-part rice to 3 parts stock. If adding a lot
of vegetables to the risotto, reduce stock by
a third.
• Rice will swell and double or triple in size
after cooking. Do not overfill the cooking
bowl. The total volume of uncooked rice and
stock should not exceed the ‘½’ level marking
inside the removable cooking bowl.
OTHER PRESET SETTINGS:
SAUTÉ/SEAR - Lid Position: OPEN
This preset has three levels: low sauté, medium
sauté and sear.
The SAUTÉ setting is ideal for softening and
caramelizing garlic, onions or vegetables prior
to pressure or slow cooking.
The SEAR setting is designed to enhance and
deepen the taste of meals by using the same
cooking bowl for caramelizing and browning
foods before pressure or slow cooking.
REDUCE - Lid Position: OPEN
This preset has three levels: low, medium and
high.
The REDUCE function is ideal for thickening
and intensifying the flavour of sauces, syrups
and stocks.
STEAM -Lid Position: CLOSE
and rotate to locked position.
The STEAM setting is ideal for steaming food
such as vegetables, fish fillets and dumplings.
When steaming for more than 30 minutes, it
is recommended to add 1 cup warm water into
the cooking bowl at 30 minute increments to
ensure consistent steaming performance.
To reduce condensation forming on the
outside surfaces of the lid and handle, it is
recommended to remove the pressure
release valve.
WARNING
If the lid will not unlock, this indicates the
appliance is still under pressure. Do not force
the lid open as any remaining pressure can
be hazardous. Press and hold the STEAM
RELEASE button to manually release steam
(refer to page 14 for manual and variable steam
release).
SOUS VIDE
The SOUS VIDE setting is ideal for cooking
food to a very precise temperature in a
water bath.
What is Sous Vide?
Sous Vide is a cooking technique that allows
you to cook food to the doneness you desire by
heating water to a set temperature. Food items
are placed in a heat-proof food safe plastic bag,
that is submerged and cooked to your preferred
doneness without the risk of drying out through
over cooking.
18
What do you need to cook food with the Sous
Vide function?
Thick heat-proof food safe plastic bags.
Resealable bags will also work if the cooking
temperature is under 70°C.
Do I need to vacuum seal?
You do not need to vacuum seal bags for
SOUS VIDE, however, as much air as
possible needs to be removed from the bag,
and water prevented from entering the bag
to provide accurate food results. To use the
water displacement method, place food in a
resealable bag with a double seal, then lower
the bagged food into a water filled container.
Once most of the air is out of the bag, carefully
seal just above the water line.
Is the lid open or closed?
To ensure consistent cooking temperatures,
the lid must be closed and in the locked
position during the sous vide function. Turn
the pressure release valve to the open position.
When do I sear?
You can sear items before or after cooking
with the SAUTÉ/SEAR function. If searing
prior to using the SOUS VIDE function, allow
time for resting and cooling overnight in the
refrigerator.
SOUS VIDE steps:
1. Fill cooking bowl with cool water until it has
reached the MAX line.
2. To reduce preheat time, start with water
close to your target temperature.
3. Press SOUS VIDE and set temperature and
time as desired. Close the lid and rotate to
locked position. START to begin heating
water.
4. Place the food item or the produce in
a plastic Sous Vide bag. If you do not
have specific Sous Vide sealed bag,
we recommend using a double-sealed
resealable bag. Add aromatics like bay
leaves, rosemary, lemon slices or rind and
oil as desired.
5. When water has reached desired
temperature (machine will beep once),
carefully place bag into the water bath.
If bag floats, place stainless trivet upside
down over the bag to keep it fully
submerged.
6. Close the lid and rotate to locked position,
but ensuring the pressure release valve is in
the open position.
7. When cooking time is completed, remove
bag from water bath.

YOGHURT
How to use the yoghurt shortcut
auto program:
Natural Yoghurt
Prep time: 10 minutes / Incubating: 5-8 hours
(plus up to 1 hour 30 minutes cooling)
1 litre full-cream homogenised milk
2 tbsp full-cream natural yoghurt with live and
active cultures
STEP 1 – Scald the Milk
Place the cooking bowl in the Fast Slow GO.
Add the milk. Close and lock the lid. Press
YOGHURT then press START. The milk will
heat to 83°C and hold at the temperature for
10 minutes.
STEP 2 – Cool the Milk
Open the lid and do not press any controls.
The cooling phase will automatically cool
the milk to 43°C. First, the word ‘COOL’ will
appear on the cooker screen.
At the end of cooling time, the cooker will
sound an alert when it has reached the correct
temperature, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
19
TIP
Cooling the milk with the lid open will result
in a skin forming on top. Removing this skin
before adding the starter will help to ensure a
smoother texture to the yoghurt.
STEP 3 – Incubate the Yoghurt
At the end of STEP 2, the word ‘ADD’ will
appear on the cooker screen. Place the yoghurt
starter in a bowl. Add ½ cup of the cooled
milk and whisk until smooth. Whisk the milk
mixture into the cooled milk in the cooking
bowl. Close the lid and rotate to locked
position, press START to incubate for 5-8
hours. The longer it is incubated the tangier
the yoghurt will be.
STEP 4 – Refrigerate
When the cooker sounds an alert that the
yoghurt has finished incubating, remove
the cooking bowl, cover with plastic wrap
and refrigerate until cold. Once the yoghurt
is completely cold, transfer to an airtight
container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
TIPS
• Using homogenised milk will produce a
smoother yoghurt. If your result is slightly
lumpy and separated, whisk the cooled
yogurt gently to combine.
• To cool scalded milk faster, place cooking
bowl in a large bowl of iced water, check the
temperature with a thermometer. When the
milk has reached 43°C, add ½ cup of the
cooled milk to the yoghurt starter, whisk until
smooth, then whisk in the mixture and return
the cooking bowl to the pressure cooker.
• To increase tanginess of the yoghurt, increase
the incubation time.
KEEP WARM
The keep warm function maintains hot food at
safe serving temperature (60 °C or above) for
up to 6 hours at the end of a cooking cycle. If
using the keep warm function as a standalone,
hot food is at safe serving temperature up to
24 hours.
• To use KEEP WARM as a standalone
function, press and hold the keep warm
button on the control panel.
• The KEEP WARM function can be toggled
on and off in both PRESSURE COOK and
SLOW COOK using the KEEP WARM
button on the control panel. The ‘KEEP
WARM’ light is lit, and the timer will start
counting up to a maximum of 6 hours at the
end of a cooking cycle.
NOTE
To not compromise food quality, it is
recommended to use KEEP WARM function
no longer than 1–2 hours.
DELAY START
The Fast Slow GO™ has a timer function to
delay the start of cooking for up to 24 hours.
This timer function does not apply to the keep
warm and steam functions.
The DELAY START function is disabled for the
MEAT food preset.
CAUTION
Never allow meat, poultry, seafood, eggs
or other goods that require refrigeration to
sit at room temperature for more than two
hours. Bacteria quickly multiplies on warm
temperature between 4°C and 60°C.
The following steps shows how to program for
delayed cooking:
• Adjust cooking cycle time and temperature/
pressure level as desired.
• Press ‘DELAY START’ button to enable
DELAY START function.
• The screen will show the delay start time in
hours and minutes.
• Use the TIME (+ / -) buttons to adjust the
time delay in 10-minute intervals for up to 24
hours.
• Press DELAY START again at any time to
exit without saving the delay start setting.
• Press START/CANCEL to activate the
current cooking settings with a delayed
starting time.

Before cleaning, ensure the cooker is turned off.
Remove the power plug from the power outlet
and remove the connector end of the power
cord from the cooker base. Allow the cooker
and all accessories to cool completely before
disassembling and cleaning.
Wash removable cooking bowl with warm
soapy water and a clean soft cloth or sponge.
Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.
If limescale deposits develop over time,
combine 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and
1 cup hot water in the cooking bowl and heat
using the steam function for 10 minutes before
cooling and cleaning with a scrubbing brush.
NOTE
Removable cooking bowl can be washed in
dishwasher, but it is recommended to wash
cooking bowl in hot, soapy water using a
mild household detergent. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
WARNING
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or
scouring pads on the outer and inner body of
the appliance.
• Do not immerse metal base or power cord in
water or any other liquid as they may cause
electrocution.
• Ensure removable cooking bowl is correctly
positioned in the base before you commence
cooking.
Care & Cleaning
• Time will start counting down and preheat
LED will not be illuminated during DELAY
START.
ALTITUDE ADJUST
Pressure builds and increases when the
temperature inside the cooking bowl exceeds
boiling point. As altitude increases, the
temperature at which water boils decreases as
a result of the drop in air pressure. This creates
very different conditions for cooking when
using a pressure cooker.
In order to maintain consistent cooking results
at various altitudes, the Fast Slow GO™ has an
Altitude Adjust feature that adjusts the settings
based on the altitude of your current location.
1. To enter Altitude press and hold both the
DELAY START and KEEP WARM buttons
for 2 seconds.
2. Press the TIME (+/-) buttons or the
PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE (+/-) buttons
to adjust altitude.
3. Four-digit display shows ‘Alt’ and number,
switching every 1 second.
4. Press START button to confirm and a beep
will sound.
5. The cooker’s settings have now been
adjusted for your current altitude. Pressing
any button or quitting after timeout will
save the current set altitude value. To
change altitude to factory settings, adjust
the altitude back to 0 metre.
NOTE
Exact altitude can be found at
www.elevationmap.net or by contacting
Breville Customer Service Centre.
SETTING THE UNIT MEASURE
The unit measure default is in Celsius (C). To
change between metric and imperial units,
press the PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE (+/-)
buttons for 5 seconds and the display will
show F for Fahrenheit. Press the PRESSURE/
TEMPERATURE (+/-) buttons again for 5
seconds to revert to Celsius and the display will
show C.
