N.B Do not leave perishable foods such as meat, poultry, fish, cheese and dairy products at room temperature
for longer than 2 hours.

Please note that once the cooking time has counted down, the time may not be adjusted. If more or less

Warm/Cancel Functions
Once the cooking process is complete, the Pressure Cooker will beep and move automatically to the WARM
function this is shown by a "bb" on the LED display. This function is used to keep cooked food warm up to
24 hours, however for maximum flavour the recommended hold time for food is no longer than 6 hours.
This function is also to stop or cancel the current function.
NOTE: It is not recommended to use the WARM function for extended periods when cooking fish or
chicken dishes.
To Remove the Lid
When the pressure cooking cycle has finished, the unit automatically switches to WARM. At this point you may
choose to release the pressure in two ways. The floating pressure safety valve will not go down until pressure is
released and you will not be able to open the lid.
1. Natural Pressure Release – This is recommended for anything with large amounts of liquid e.g. soups
and stocks it will prevent the liquid inside from boiling over and blocking the pressure release valve.
Following pressure cooking, allow the unit to remain on the WARM function. The pressure will begin
to drop inside this can take from 12 minutes to 30 minutes depending on the amount of liquid inside.
The lid can only be removed with the pressure has gone down.
2. Quick Pressure Release - Following pressure cooking, the cooker will beep, this indicates that the cooking
time has finished. Press the Cancel Button to stop the WARM function and turn the Pressure Release Valve
to the "Pressure Release" position using an oven mitt (see Fig 6).
Hot Steam will be released. DO NOT put your hands or face near the unit when turning the valve.
The lid will only open once all the pressure has been released. Turn the lid clockwise and unlock.
When removing the lid, tilt the lid away from you, this way the steam is directed away from you to avoid
being scalded by the escaping steam. Use oven mitts when removing the inner cooking pot.
Only use non-stick utensils to serve from the cooking pot as any hard utensils made from stainless steel
or similar materials could damage the non-stick surface of the inner cooking pot.
