pressure has been released when steam is no longer escaping from the valve and the Lid opens freely with minimal
force. Only then is it safe to remove the Lid and serve food. When lifting the lid, use an oven glove to protect your
hands.
B.
Quick Pressure release method should be used with caution: Using a kitchen utensil, gradually flick the tab on
the Steam Release Valve to the "Release" setting (see Figure 4). Steam will release rapidly from the Steam Release
Valve. Do not place any part of your hand or body over the steam outlet on the top of the valve, as steam is very hot
and can scald skin. Use this method with caution when cooking liquid ingredients such as casseroles, soups, stocks,
beans and pulses. Never use this method when cooking rice, as rice tends to be very delicate. The pressure has been
released when steam is no longer escaping from the valve and the Lid opens freely with minimal force. Only then is it
safe to remove the Lid and serve food. When lifting the lid, use an oven glove to protect your hands.

Valve OPEN ("Release")
Valve CLOSED ("Seal")
CAUTION:
1.
Do not force the Lid to open. If it does not open easily this means that the Multi-Cooker is still under pressure.
2.
During cooking, steam will build up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the Lid use a kitchen glove or mitt to protect
your hand.

SLOW COOKING

LOW Setting: This is suitable for simmering and slow cooking. Recommended cooking times in LOW are from 6 to 8 hours.
HIGH Setting: This is for faster cooking. Recommended cooking times in HIGH are from 2 to 4 hours.
KEEP WARM Setting: When cooking time is completed, the Multi-Cooker automatically switches to the KEEP WARM
setting to prevent overcooking and to keep your cooked food warm until serving - perfect for busy families, those on the
run and those who need flexible meal times. This setting is not hot enough to cook and should only be used to keep hot,
cooked food warm for serving.
Note: When slow cooking, the ideal fill level for your ingredients is between the 1/2 and 2/3 marks. Never fill the Cooking
Pot above the MAX line.
Due to the multi-functionality of the CSC051 appliance, its slow cooking function works in a slightly different way
to regular Crock-Pots. If using a recipe for a similar-sized Crock-Pot, you may need to increase the cooking time
for use with the CSC051.
USING THE SLOW COOK FUNCTION
The SLOW COOK function does not use pressure in the cooking process, but some pressure can build inside the unit during
cooking. When using this function, ensure the Steam Release Valve is in the "Release" position. This function will cook
similarly to standard slow cookers, using lower temperatures and longer cooking times to achieve tender, flavorful meals.
Place the Multi-Cooker on a flat, level surface.
Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug the Multi-Cooker into a wall outlet. The Multi-Cooker will beep, and the
Display Screen will illuminate with four dashes (- - - -).
1.
Place your food and liquid inside the removable Cooking Pot.
2.
Place the Lid onto the Multi-Cooker and align
position.

3.
Using the finger tab, rotate the Steam Release Valve to the "Release" position.
Note: Although this setting will not use pressure in the cooking process, some pressure can build inside the unit
during cooking. This is why it's important to keep the Steam Release Valve in the "Release" position.
4.
Press the SLOW COOK button and adjust the time and temperature as needed.
Note: See the Cooking Guide on page 11 to find the possible time and temperature adjustments.
5.
Press START/STOP. The time will begin to count down.
6.
After the set cooking time has elapsed, the Multi-Cooker will beep and will automatically switch to the KEEP WARM
setting. The Display Screen will therefore change from the cook time to a new timer that will count up to 4:00 (4 hours)
or until you press the START/STOP button. After 4 hours in the KEEP WARM setting, the Multi-Cooker will turn off.
TIP: The SLOW COOK settings are in the Cooking Guide on page 11.
CAUTION: During slow cooking, steam may build up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the Lid use a kitchen glove or mitt
to protect your hand.

STEAMING
The STEAM function is perfect for gently steaming fish and vegetables. It is pre-programmed to use the HIGH pressure
cooking setting. When steaming, use the Steaming Rack.
Capacity: When the Multi-Cooker is used with the STEAM function, the maximum capacity of liquid should be just under the
rack wires, so that the liquid is not touching the food.
Note: The unit cannot pressure cook without liquid. Ensure a minimum of 250ml of liquid is used inside the removable
Cooking Pot.
