Operating Instructions

Prior to First Use
Take time to read all instructions.
• Wash with warm soapy water.
• Treat the rim of the pot with a small amount
of cooking oil in order to make opening and
closing easier. See Figure 1.
• Fill pot ½ full with cold water and heat for 10
minutes according to Cooking Instructions.
• Open the NuWave PPC only after all pressure
has been released. Dry NuWave PPC with
soft cloth.
Safe Operation
• Adding food and liquid is important to fill the
NuWave PPC with liquid prior to operation.
Refer to recipes beginning on page 21 for
specific instructions.
• Maximum Volume: Never fill the NuWave
PPC more than ⅔ of its capacity with liquid
and food. See Figure 2.
• Fill NuWave PPC to only half capacity when
preparing foods that will expand in size and/
or produce foam while cooking (such as rice,
legumes, broths, or dried vegetables).
See Figure 3.
• Minimum Volume: The amount of liquid
needed depends on the cooking method used
in the recipe and the length of cooking time.
• Never cook without liquid, it can overheat
as a result, which can damage the NuWave
PPC (e.g. melt base, or damage safety
mechanisms and heat source).
• In case of overheating, never remove
NuWave PPC from heat source. Turn off heat
and let NuWave PPC cool until the pressure
indicator depresses.
