Operating Instructions
7. Turn the Variable Temperature/Pressure Control to WARMING.
8. Plug the unit into a 120V AC wall outlet and press the (
ON/OFF Switch to turn the Pressure Cooker ON.The ON/OFF
Indicator Light will illuminate.
9. Turn the Variable Temperature/
Pressure Control to MAX/BROWNING.
CAUTION: NEVER LEAVE YOUR PRESSURE
COOKER UNATTENDED AT A
HIGH HEAT SETTING.
10. As soon as the pressure starts to build,however slight,the Pressure
Lift Pin will jiggle until it reaches full pressure and locks the Lid onto
the Pressure Cooker Pan.Do not try to remove the Lid until the
pressure has been safely released.The HIGH/LOW Pressure Level
Indicator will start to rise and some steam will escape from the
Pressure Regulator Valve. Wait for both rings to be visible on the
Pressure Level Indicator and a gentle steady flow of steam is
released from the Pressure Regulator Valve accompanied by a
loud hiss: the Pressure Cooker is now at full pressure.
11. Begin timing once the HIGH pressure is
reached.Follow the recipe or Cooking Guide,
allow food to cook for time specified.
NOTE: The amount of food being cooked will
determine how long it takes to bring the
Pressure Cooker up to full pressure.
12. Quickly turn the Variable Temperature/
Pressure Control to 7 - 8 (see illustration);
both rings will be visible,to maintain the
HIGH pressure.If you prefer to cook using
LOW pressure,turn the Variable
Temperature/Pressure Control to 6 - 7,
one ring will be visible.The constant
hissing sound and amount of steam will
fluctuate as the pressure changes.
Experience will teach you what setting
on your Pressure Cooker to use to
maintain the proper pressure.
IMPORTANT: If the heat is too high, there is a
constant very loud hissing. You
MUST turn the heat down. TOO
MUCH HEAT CAN RESULT IN
EXCESSIVE LOSS OF COOKING
LIQUID.
