NOTES & TIPS #7:
During the cooking process, when the pressure cooker enters into the Pressurized
Sequence, the first digit on the LED screen will display the letter "P".
For foods with a high volume of liquid (Stews, soups, porridges, etc.) IT IS NOT
RECOMMEND TO USE QUICK RELEASE. This is to avoid liquid splatter from the
ventilation in the Pressure Limiting Valve (3).
Use NATURAL RELEASE: User should wait for the temperature to drop and the Float
Valve to sink on its own prior to opening the lid.
CAUTION: It is not recommended to use the Delay Timer function to cook foods that may
spoil. Leaving raw foods inside the pressure cooker for long periods of time prior to
cooking may result in the food spoiling. Cook food that can be left out such as rice,
beans, grains or other foods that will not spoil.
HOW TO USE THE
Before Pressure Cooking, most recipes will benefit from the golden color, richer flavors
and moist results gained from Browning/Sautéing. This important step is made simple
by the one-touch button!
To Brown or Sauté your meats or vegetables prior to pressure cooking:
1. Remove lid (2) and plug in the pressure cooker.
2. Press the BROWN/SAUTE button. Press the +/- buttons to increase/decrease the
time. There is no need to press any other button.
3. Add oil or butter as directed in your recipe and then place food into the Inner Pot (6).
4. Stir or turn food as needed until desired color and consistency is reached.
5. Press the Keep Warm/Cancel button if you want to cancel the BROWNING function
before the timer finishes counting down.
 Allow the unit to rest 2-3 minutes after cancelling the BROWNING function
before beginning to pressure cook.
6. Continue your recipe by adding liquid, attaching lid (2) and selecting desired
program/cook time.
