SAFE LID OPENING

Push the button to the venting position to release pressure from the pressure valve until the float valve drops down.

Releasing pressure in one of the following ways.

HOW TO RELEASE PRESSURE AND OPEN LID

Slip the button to Venting position to release pressure rapidly.

Slip the button to Unlock position when the Red Floater down, then rotate lid counterclockwise.

CAUTION

Please keep hands and face away from the hole on the top of the Pressure Valve when using Quick Release. The escaping steam is very hot and can cause scalds. During pressure releasing process, protect your skin by avoiding any contact with escaping steam or the stainless steel portion of the Lid. Press down gently on Lid and turn anticlockwise until Lid meets resistance. Lift carefully and place aside. Avoid personal injury resulting from hot unit surfaces and dripping liquids.

For food in large liquid volume or starch content (e.g. porridge, congee), use Natural Release instead as thick liquid may splatter out.

Natural Release

Allow the cooker to cool down naturally until the float valve drops down.

This may take up to 15 to 40 minutes, or even more, depending on the amount of food in the cooker. Place a wet towel on the lid to speed up cooling. After cooking is finished, turn OFF Keep Warm mode if it is turned ON.

4. After use, remove any foreign objects from the silicon gasket and Anti-Block Shield.
5. Keep the Silicon Gasket clean to avoid odor.
6. Never pull the silicon gasket by force, as the pulling may cause deformation and affect its function in sealing the pressure.

SAFETY AND COOKING TIPS

Extreme caution should be taken when moving the pressure valve handle to Venting position. Keep hands and face away from the pressure valve openings. Failure to comply may result in burning or serious injury.

• Do not open the lid until pressure inside the cooker is completely released. As a safety feature, until the float valve drops down the lid is locked and cannot be opened. DO NOT force lid open.
• When opening the lid, the inner pot may adhere to the lid. This is caused by vacuum due to cooling. To release the vacuum, move the pressure valve handle to the Venting position.
• If the float valve is stuck, move the pressure valve to the Venting position. After all the steam is released, push the float valve down with a pen or long stick.
• Always add at least 1 cup / 250 ml of water or other liquids so enough steam can be generated to cook under pressure. These include cooking sauces, wine, beer, stocks, juices of fruits and vegetables. Oils and oil-based sauces do not have enough water content and will not account for the required liquid volume.
• Time to pressurize and cooking time will vary according to the temperature and quantity of the ingredients. Food that is cold or frozen will take longer to cook than food that is at room temperature.
• When using the Preset Time (Delay Start) program, allow sufficient cooling time before serving.
• The Preset Time (Delay Start) program is not recommended for porridge, oatmeal or other foamy and thick liquids. Cooking progresses should be monitored when cooking these foods.

CARE AND CLEANING

Regular care or maintenance is essential in ensuring that pressure cooker is safe for use. The pressure cooker must be cleaned thoroughly after each use in order to avoid staining caused by a build-up of food or cooking residue.

WARNING

Unplug your pressure cooker and let it cool to room temperature before cleaning.

DO NOT POUR COLD WATER INTO A HOT pressure cooker.

CAUTION

Always remove the Pressure Valve and clean the opening with pin to remove any blockage that might have occurred during the cooking process.

This must be done after each use.

Do not try to repair pressure valve yourself. Contact customer service for qualified repair information.

• Both the inner pot and lid are dishwasher safe.
• Remove the inner pot and lid and wash with detergent. Rinse with clear water and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
• Wipe the inner cooker base rim and slot dry with cloth to prevent rusting of the exterior cooker rim.
• Remove the lid filter plate and anti-block shield from the underside of the lid.
• Wash with warm, soapy water, rinse with clear water and wipe dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning the lid filter plate, the Sealing Ring must be removed and washed separately with warm, soapy water, rinse with clear water and wipe dry with a soft cloth. The Silicon Gasket must always be properly positioned on the Lid Filter Plate.
• Clean the outer body with a damp soft cloth or sponge.
• Never use harsh chemical detergents, scouring pads or powders on any of the parts or components.
• Periodically check that the pressure valve and float valve are in good working order and free of debris.
• Never immerse the outer housing and power cord in water or any other liquid.

HOW TO USE

Pressure Cooking

Canning

1. Rotate the knob to the "CANNING" function.
2. Press the "OK" button and rotary encoder to adjust the cooking time.
3. Press the "Pressure" button to adjust the pressure,the high pressure display is 80kPa and the low pressure is display 50kPa

NOTE

For more info, please visit the National Center for Home Food Preservation website. Do not use over-ripe fruit. Bad quality degrades with storage.

• Do not add more low-acid ingredients (onions, celery, peppers, garlic) than specified in the recipe. This may result in an unsafe product.
• Do add acid (lemon juice, vinegar or citric acid) especially to tomato products when directed in the recipe. If necessary, you can balance the tart taste by adding sugar.
• Do not over-season with spices. Spices tend to be high in bacteria making canned goods unsafe.
• Do not add butter or fat. Fats do not store well and may increase the rate of spoilage.
• Thickeners - never use flour, starch, pasta, rice or barley.
• Use only USDA recommended Clear Jel.

Non-pressure Cooking

NOTE

• The built-in cooking time is suitable for general purpose food. Please use the cooking time table in the recipe book to determine the appropriate cooking time based on the specific food, the quantity of food and your texture preference.
• You may override pre-programmed time by selecting the taste key.
• The pressure is automatically controlled, no need to adjust manually.
• Depend on the food content, the quantity and its temperature (frozen or not), the preheat cycle can range between 10 to 40 minutes. As the pressure increases inside the cooker, it is perfectly normal for traces of steam to escape from the float valve until the float valve pops up.
• During this pressurized state, you should not see any steam gushing out anywhere from the lid, However, from time to time you may see a small smoke effect coming from the pressure valve and occasionally a little sputtering.
• This is perfectly normal. During the cooking operation, the cooker makes low clicking sounds. This comes from normal operation in switching the heating element on and off.
• To serve the food, press "Warm/Cancel" to stop the keep warm cycle and open the lid according to the Safe Lid Opening.
• When opening the lid, the inner pot may appear to be stuck on the lid. This is caused by contraction of air due to cooling. Please turn the pressure valve handle to "Venting" to let in air to release the vacuum.
