TIPS and HINTS
• Many recipes can easily be adapted for
preparation in your Electric Pressure
Cooker- soups, stews, side dishes and
more.
• The amount of liquid needed is much
less than for traditional cooking methods.
• Never exceed the Maximum Fill Amount
of the pressure cooker.
• Make sure the lid is on firmly and tightly,
and moved as far counterclockwise as
it will permit to allow proper locking.
• Hot foods/liquids will come to pressure
more quickly than cold foods/liquids.
• When pressure cooking is completed,
follow recipe instructions for releasing
pressure. For Quick Pressure Release
it is important to begin immediately upon
completion of pressure cooking;
otherwise foods will continue to cook,
and may overcook.
• Do not store pressure cooker with the
lid on tightly. This saves the seal from
unnecessary wear and tear.
• More nutrients and vitamins are
preserved during pressure cooking than
with traditional cooking methods, as less
liquid is used and thus fewer nutrients
are lost to evaporation.
• To adapt your own recipes, find a similar
one in our cookbook and use it as a
guide. In general, cooking time will be
at least
to
of the traditional cooking

time. Reduce your cooking liquid by at
least half – you may need to "play" with
your recipe to get it right. You may wish
to add vegetables at the end of cooking
to avoid overcooking. You can also use
the cooking charts provided as a guide.
• When experimenting with a recipe, if the
food is almost cooked, use Simmer to
complete cooking.

Do you have a question about the precision EPC 6000 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
**** does not come up to pressure
The AEG Precision EPC 6000 may not come up to pressure due to several reasons:
1. Blocked Float Valve or Pressure Release Devices – Ensure they are not clogged with food debris.
2. Improper Sealing – Check that the lid is properly closed and the sealing ring is correctly positioned.
3. Insufficient Liquid – The pressure cooker requires enough liquid to generate steam and build pressure.
4. Food Causing Foam or Clogs – Certain foods like oatmeal, split peas, and pasta can froth and block pressure release devices.
5. Heating Plate Issues – Keep the heating plate clean to ensure proper heat transfer.
6. Incorrect Power Supply – Ensure the cooker is plugged into a proper power source with the correct voltage.
If the issue persists, refer to the operating instructions for troubleshooting.

My pressure cooker no reading air is just coming out on too
Your AEG Precision EPC 6000 pressure cooker may be releasing steam without building pressure due to the following reasons:
1. Improper Sealing – Ensure the lid is properly closed and sealed. The sealing ring should be correctly positioned and undamaged.
2. Overfilled Pot – The total volume of food and liquid must not exceed 60% of the pot’s capacity (50% for dried vegetables, beans, or grains).
3. Pressure Release Valve Issue – Check if the pressure release valve is set correctly and not stuck in the open position.
4. Damaged or Misaligned Gasket – Inspect the gasket for wear, cracks, or incorrect placement, as it may prevent pressure buildup.
5. Excessive Steam from Browning/Sautéing – If you recently used the browning or sauté function, switch off the cooker and wait about 1.5 minutes before selecting the pressure function.
Ensure all components are properly set up before trying again.
