1. Remove the Lid by turning clockwise to unlock, aligning
with . Remove the Sealing Gasket from the Lid and wash
the gasket and the Lid in warm soapy water. Dry the Sealing
Gasket and Lid thoroughly before reattaching the Sealing
Gasket to the Lid. Ensure the Sealing Gasket is smoothly and
securely in place in the gasket holder. If the Sealing Gasket is
not in the correct position the Lid will not be able to form a
seal and will not be able to gain pressure.
2. Remove the Cooking Pot and the Condensation Collector
and wash in warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly before
replacing back in the Multi-Cooker.
The Express Crock Multi-Cooker has been designed with safety
in mind and has various safety measures.
1. Pressure will not build if the Lid is not shut correctly and has
not sealed.
2. Ensure Lid is in the completely locked position and the is
aligned with .
3. Pressure will not build if the Steam Release Valve has not
been switched to the Seal position.
4. Over filling may cause a risk of clogging the valves and
developing excess pressure.
5. The gasket and the valves can be removed for cleaning.
(See pages 36-38).

6. Once the pressure increases, the Lid should not be opened.
Safety sensors ensure the pressure remains within the set
range. Never force the Lid open.
7. The Steam Release Valve has an extended finger tab, designed
to keep the hand away from the top of the valve. Always
use a kitchen utensil when operating this tab. Steam Release
Valve is designed to be loose-fitting for proper operation. See
RELEASING PRESSURE Instructions on pages 20-21.
8. The pressure cooking functions require liquid to work.
If the inside of the Cooking Pot does not have enough
liquid, a notification will appear on the Display Screen. See
NOTIFICATION CODES chart on pages 41-42.
9. At the end of cooking, the Lid should not be unlocked
until all the pressure is released, and the Bobber Valve has
dropped completely. This can be done using the Natural
Pressure Release Method or Quick Pressure Release Method,
explained on pages 20-21.
10. The Time Selection Buttons (+ and -) are used to set the
cooking time. To advance slowly, simply press the + or -
button and release. To advance quickly, press and hold the +
or - button. If you have passed the desired time, simply press
the opposite arrow button to return to the desired time.
NOTE: The timer can be selected for all programs and can be
changed at any time during cooking by pressing START/STOP
and selecting a new function.
11. The TEMP/PRESSURE button is used to select desired
cooking temperature or pressure (HIGH or LOW). The
Display Screen will illuminate TEMP or PRESSURE, depending
on which setting is being adjusted.
12. The temperature may only be adjusted on the SLOW
COOK, YOGURT, BOIL, SIMMER, SAUTÉ, and BROWN/
SEAR functions (see the Cooking Guide on page 25 for
available adjustments).
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR EXPRESS CROCK (CONT.)
Pressure cookers generate steam in order to build pressure.
Liquid is needed to create steam. So in order for your Express
Crock to build enough pressure to cook your meal, there needs
to be enough liquid in the pot to boil and generate steam. One
cup – or 8 oz – of liquid (it can be water, chicken broth, etc.)
is usually enough liquid to successfully build pressure. If your
recipe is too thick or doesn’t have enough liquid in it, then you
will receive an E6 Notification Code during the cooking cycle.
