Pressure cooking is an ideal way to create quick, flavorful
meals. Pressure cooking is a method of cooking food in liquid
(water, stock, wine, etc.) in a sealed Cooking Pot. The sealed
Multi-Cooker retains steam and builds pressure, raising the
temperature of the liquid inside the pot above boiling point.
The increased temperature of the liquid and the steam results
in reduced cooking times.
HIGH Pressure Setting is 6.5 - 10 PSI (45 - 70 kPa). It is suitable
for a wide range of foods.
LOW Pressure Setting is 3.3 - 6.5 PSI (23 - 45 kPa). It is more
suited to delicate foods like chicken fillet, fish and some
vegetables.
KEEP WARM Setting: When cooking time is completed, the
Multi-Cooker automatically switches to the KEEP WARM
setting to prevent overcooking and to keep your cooked food
warm until serving - perfect for busy families, those on the run
and those who need flexible meal times. This setting is not
hot enough to cook and should only be used to keep warm,
cooked food for serving.
Ideal Meals to Pressure Cook: Soups, stocks, casseroles, sauces
(e.g. pasta sauces), meat, rice, firm vegetables (beetroot,
potatoes) and desserts (e.g., pudding).
Capacity: Never fill the Cooking Pot above the MAX line. Foods
that expand during cooking should never go above the 1/2
mark. The Multi-Cooker cannot pressure cook without liquid.
Ensure a minimum of 8oz of liquid is used inside the removable
Cooking Pot.
PRESSURE COOKING
Place the Multi-Cooker on a flat, level surface.
Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug the Multi-Cooker
into a wall outlet. The Multi-Cooker will beep, and the Display
Screen will illuminate with four dashes (- - - -).
1. Place your food and liquid inside the removable Cooking
Pot.
2. Place the Lid onto the Multi-Cooker and align with . To
lock, rotate counterclockwise to the LOCKED position.
3. Using the finger tab, rotate the Steam Release Valve to the
“Seal” position.
4. Select the desired cooking function
5. Adjust the cooking time and pressure if necessary.
Note: See the Cooking Guide on page 22 to find the
possible time and pressure adjustments
6. Once you have made the desired adjustments, if any, press
START/STOP.
7. The Multi-Cooker needs to gain pressure before pressure
cooking can begin. When the Multi-Cooker is gaining
pressure, “HEAt” will appear on the Display Screen and the
time will not count down. The amount of time the Multi-
Cooker takes to gain pressure varies according to humidity
and water temperature, but average pressurization time is
13-15 minutes. When pressure has been reached, “HEAt”
will disappear on the Display Screen, and the time will
begin to count down.
8. After the set cooking time has elapsed, the Multi-Cooker
will beep and will automatically switch to the KEEP
WARM setting. The Display Screen will therefore change
from the cook time to a new timer that will count up to
4:00 (4 hours) or until you press the START/STOP button.
After 4 hours in the KEEP WARM setting, the Multi-
Cooker will go into stand-by mode, and the Display Screen
will illuminate with four dashes (----)..
