OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
STATES OF THE MAGIC CHEF MULTICOOKER
• Standby: The cooker is in standby when it is plugged in and the display will show “- - - -”�
• Preheat: Preheating occurs when the cooker is warming up to the correct temperature and pressure� This
happens after you select your cooking time and before the cooker starts the actual cooking time� Lines on
the outside of the display will circle around continuously�
• Operating: Once the preheat time is complete, the Magic Chef Multicooker will begin to cook� The display
will show the appropriate cook time�
LID OPENING
1� Before opening the lid, make sure the multicooker has finished cooking� If the cooking program is still on,
then press the “Cancel” button to stop it�
WARNING: DO NOT open the multicooker until the unit has cooled and all internal pressure has been
released� If the handle is difficult to slide open, this indicates that the cooker is still pressurized� DO NOT
force open� Any pressure in the cooker can be hazardous� (Refer to page 14�)
2� There are two ways to release the pressure from the cooker, the Natural Release and the Quick Release�
• Natural Release: Once cooking is complete, the pressure will release on its own� The natural release
time can be anywhere from 10-25 minutes� All the pressure is released once the float valve has fallen�
You can then open the lid� Placing a wet towel on the lid can help the multicooker cool down faster�
• Quick Release: If you want to release the pressure immediately after it is done cooking, then use
the quick release option� Once the cooker stops cooking, slide the exhaust valve to “Venting” to
release the pressure� All the pressure is released once the float valve has fallen� DO NOT use the
Quick Release function for foods that have a lot of starch or when a lot of liquid is in the cooker� Use
natural release for these foods� Additionally, you can use a combination of Natural Release and Quick
Release� This can be helpful if you need the extra cooking time with the Natural Release, but don’t
want to wait the full time for the pressure to be released�
WARNING:
• ALWAYS use oven mitts when releasing pressure or when opening the lid�
• After cooking, use extreme caution when opening the lid� ALWAYS open the lid away from you to
avoid skin contact with any heat or steam� Serious burns can result from steam inside the unit�
• DO NOT place face or hands by the holes on top of the exhaust valve� The steam can cause scalding�
• DO NOT try to remove the float valve or exhaust valve when steam is escaping�

3� Place your hand on the handle and turn the lid to the unlock position and lift� Place the exhaust position to
“Venting” when opening the lid, regardless of what pressure release option you used�
4� Once the lid is detached, you can hold it above the platform where the condensation collector is� The
excess condensation will fall into the collector and not on your food�
