the unit will automatically resume the cooking cycle where it was left off.

HELPFUL TIPS
● Read this manual thoroughly and follow all instructions.
● Be familiar with the recipe and have all ingredients prepped before you begin.
● Be sure the lid is secured and locked properly before beginning.
● You may wish to brown some meats before cooking with other ingredients.
● Cut foods into equal-sized pieces to promote even cooking. In recipes that call for multiple
ingredients, cut those that cook more quickly into larger pieces and those that take longer
to cook into smaller pieces.
● A large variety of liquids can be used for pressure cooking, such as wine, beer, bouillon, fruit
juices, water, broth and more.
● After becoming familiar with your pressure cooker, you can adapt conventional recipes to
be used with it. As a general rule, cut cooking times of your conventional recipes by two
thirds. The amount of liquid used may also have to be reduced because there is very little
evaporation in the pressure cooker. Remember, however, there must always be some liquid
in the pressure cooker to produce the necessary steam. As a rule of thumb, add 1 cup of
liquid for the rst 15 minutes of pressure cooking then 1/3 cup of liquid for each subsequent
15 minutes. This rule may vary depending on the type and amount of food cooked.
● In the event that the unit is unable to build pressure, simply add more liquid until it can
pressurize.
● Since pressure cooking enhances avors, we recommend reducing the amounts of herbs
and seasonings when adapting conventional recipes.
● The use of fresh herbs is recommended as they will have a more intense avor than dried
herbs.
● In general, pressure cookers cook foods in about 1/3 of the time of conventional cooking
methods.
● Increase cooking times by about 10% when cooking in high altitudes of over 3,500 feet.
● If you wish to cook food in less time than the pre-programmed timer default setting, observe
the timer and press CANCEL when you would like to stop the cooking process before the
timer has reached 0.
