Preparing Your Pressure Cooker - Elite EPC-608 Instruction Manual

PREPARING YOUR PRESSURE COOKER

1. To open the lid, hold the Handle (1) and turn it in a clockwise direction until you reach the
Opened Lid position. Then pull upwards to vertical position (Figure 14 & 15).
2. Remove the inner pot (8) and place desired food and liquids into the pot. The amount of
water and food should not exceed 4/5 of the height of the inner Pot (Figure 16.) For food
that will expand in water, the level should not exceed 3/5 of the Inner Pot (Figure 17). The
minimum level for cooking would be 1/5 of the Inner Pot (Figure 18).
•
When cooking rice, the maximum amount of rice allowed for
this pressure cooker is 12 cups of uncooked rice.
•
Normally one cup of rice requires one cup of water. This may
vary according to taste.
Be certain the inner lining receptacle, where the Electronic Heater

is located, is clean before inserting the inner pot. Place the inner
pot into the pressure cooker and adjust the pot left and right to
ensure optimal contact between the Inner Pot and the Electronic Heater. (Figure 19)
