Example

Remove the cooking pot and place it on a firm and stable counter top.

Prepare desired food and place into cooking pot.

Secure the lid (2) onto the unit, turn it counter-clockwise to lock it properly in place.

Make sure the pressure limiting valve (3) is set to the "airtight" position.

Plug the power cord into a suitable power outlet.

The LED screen will display 00:00.

Choose the desired menu button. When pushed, the cooking time will display for the
selected setting. For example, if Rice is selected, the display will show P:12 and the
indicator light for Rice will flash. The Rice indicator will flash five times and then illuminate
solid once it begins operation. While the unit is building up pressure, the display will show
00:12. The unit may take between 5-20 minutes to build up pressure depending on the
weight of contents inside.
Note: When pressing a menu button, the LED screen will not immediately change until the
pressure has built up to capacity. This may take approximately 5-10 minutes depending
on the quantity of food you are cooking.

When the unit has built enough pressure, it will begin to pressure-cook the food. You may
hear a quiet hissing or sizzling sound coming from the inside of the unit during this time.
Here, the pressure cooker will begin to operate based on a cooking time of 12 minutes.
There is no need to press any other button. The display will show P:12 and the cooking
time will begin to countdown. Depending on the menu button selected, the display will be
different for each button and show P0__ correspondingly based on the default cooking
time chart.

When cooking has completed, the pressure cooker will beep 3 times and automatically go
to Keep Warm. The display will show "bb" during the Keep Warm cycle.

The Keep Warm indicator light will illuminate and the pressure cooker will begin to
naturally release the pressure. This will take approximately 10-15 minutes.

You may also Quick Release the pressure. If you wish to quick release the pressure,
move the pressure limiting valve (3) to the "exhaust" position to release the pressure until
the float valve (4) sinks.
Caution: Use an oven glove or long utensil. Keep hands and face away from the pressure
limiting valve (3) while in the "exhaust" position. Failure to comply may cause serious
injury.

Always be certain that the pressure is released completely before unlocking the lid (2)
and opening it.

Press Cancel to end operation and remove food to serve immediately or allow the unit to
remain in Keep Warm mode. It is not recommended to keep food warm for over 4 hours.
