Keep Warm.
5. To adjust the 2-hour default Keep Warm time, press
the TIME button and use the Select and Confirm dial
to adjust time from 30 minutes up to 4 hours. Press
the Select and Confirm dial to confirm the desired
time, then press the START/STOP button to start
Keep Warm. Timer will begin counting down.
NOTE: Keep Warm time can be adjusted at any time
by repeating step 5.
NOTE: The Keep Warm setting should not be used
for more than 12 hours. The quality or texture of the
food will begin to change after 1 hour on Keep Warm.
In the Keep Warm setting, a little condensation in the
upper ring is normal.
PRESSURE RELEASE
To Open the Lid
When pressure cooking cycle is finished, the unit will
automatically switch to the Keep Warm mode. At this
point, you may choose to release pressure in one of
three ways – Natural Pressure Release, Quick Pressure
Release, or a combination of both. The choice will be
dictated by the particular food being cooked and
indications in the recipe. If adapting your own recipe
for pressure cooking, find a similar recipe in our recipe
booklet and use that as a guide.
1. Natural Pressure Release – Allow the unit to remain
on Keep Warm. The pressure will begin to drop – time
for pressure to drop will depend on the amount of
liquid in the multicooker and the length of time that
pressure was maintained. As pressure is being
released, the preheat bars will count down. Natural
Pressure Release could take from 20 to 80 minutes.
During this time, cooking continues, so it is not
recommended for certain cuts of meats and some
desserts. When pressure is fully released, the unit will
beep once, all preheat bars will disappear from the
screen and the lid will unlock to open.
2. Quick Pressure Release – Following pressure
cooking you will hear 4 beeps indicating the process
is finished. Press and hold the Steam Release button.
The Steam Release icon will appear in the LCD and
steam will immediately begin to release through the
hinge area of the lid. Keep face and hands away from
steam as it is released. Do not release pressure under
hanging cabinets, which can be damaged by steam.
As pressure is being released, the preheat bars
will count down. When pressure is fully released, the
unit will beep once and all preheat bars will disappear
from the screen, the pressure indicator will drop and
the lid will unlock to open. Using Quick Pressure
Release stops the pressure cooking immediately. If
further cooking is necessary, the unit may be returned
to Pressure.
3. Combination Natural Pressure Release and Quick
Pressure Release – Some recipes use a
combination of Natural Pressure Release and Quick
Pressure Release. Allow Natural Pressure Release for
the time indicated in the recipe (food will continue to
cook slightly), followed by Quick Pressure Release.
SAFETY FEATURES
There are six safety devices installed in the multicooker
to assure its reliability.
1. Open-and-Close Lid Safety Device
The appliance will not start pressurizing until the lid is
closed and locked properly. The lid cannot be
opened if the appliance is filled with pressure.
2. Pressure Control Device
The correct pressure level is automatically maintained
during the cooking cycle.
3. Pressure Limit Valve
The pressure limit valve will release air
automatically when the pressure inside exceeds
the preset temperature.
NOTE: Overfilling the multicooker (see Instructions for
Use) may clog the pressure limit valve, which can
cause excess pressure to develop.
4. Pressure Relief Device
When the multicooker reaches the maximum
allowable pressure and temperature, the cooking pot
will move down until lid separates from the sealing
ring, releasing air pressure.
5. Thermal Control
The power will automatically shut off when the
cooking pot temperature reaches the preset value, or
the multicooker is heating without any food inside.
6. Thermal Fuse
The circuit will be opened when the multicooker
reaches the maximum temperature.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Unplug the power cord before cleaning.
2. Clean the outer body with a soft cloth, such as a
paper towel or microfiber cloth. Do not immerse the
outer body in water or pour water into it.
3. Remove the sealing ring assembly from the inside of
the lid by grasping the knob and pulling. Set aside.
