6. Attach the Power Cord to Base and then a wall outlet
(see ATTACHING THE POWER CORD, p. 7). When the
Unit is first plugged in, "0000" will appear on the LED
Display. The Unit is automatically "ON" when plugged
in.
7. ATTACHING LID: With the LED Display facing you, place
the Pressure Lid on the Unit, aligning the Magnetic Safety
Sensor with the Condensation Collector (see Fig. C). Twist
the Pressure Lid counterclockwise about 30° to the Closed
position until the lid clicks into place (see Fig. D) and a
single beep sounds.

If the valve does not click or lock into place, the lid
is not secured and pressure will not build.

9. SELECT COOKING MODE: Based on your chosen
recipe, choose from several cooking modes that can
be used alone or in combination to product a variety of
results.
10. SELECT COOKING TIME: When a specific cooking
mode is selected, a default time will be displayed for
5 seconds and the "QUICK" indicator, located in the
center of the display, will light up. There are three pre-
programmed options to choose from based on how you
like your food prepared –"QUICK" for rare, "MEDIUM"
for medium done, and "WELL" for well done. Choose
"QUICK" by pressing the desired cooking mode button
once, choose "MEDIUM" by pressing the button twice,
or choose "WELL" by pressing the button three times.
Alternatively, use the Time Adjustment button to
override the pre-programmed times. Press the button
until the desired cooking time is reached.
11. USE DELAY TIMER: The Delay Timer lets you delay
the beginning of the cooking cycle. To use the Delay
Timer, select a cooking time and temperature. Instead
of pressing the Program Dial to confirm the time and
temperature, press the Delay Timer Button. Then, use
the Program Dial to select the desired time delay and
press the Program Dial to confirm the setting.
NOTE: Using a delay time greater than 2 hours is
not recommended because bacteria can form when
uncooked food sits in the Inner Pot for too long.
12. Once the cooking settings have been selected, a
"rotating effect" will appear on the LED Display to
signify that the Unit is building pressure.
NOTE: The amount of time required for the
"rotating effect" on the LED Display to end and the
countdown process to begin depends on the volume,
concentration, and ratios of solid to liquid in the unit –
generally 5–40 minutes.
13. When the Unit is under full pressure, the Red Pressure
Indicator will move to the Up position. DURING THIS
TIME OR ANY TIME DURING THE COOKING CYCLE,
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOVE THE UNIT OR OPEN
THE LID.
14. At the completion of the cooking cycle, the Unit will
"beep" and enter Keep Warm mode until manually
cancelled by pressing the Cancel Button.
NOTE: Foods kept at Keep Warm mode for longer than
4 hours may lose their flavor and texture.
NOTE: When the cooking cycle is compete and the
Keep Warm function is in use, the temperature drops to
the Keep Warm holding temperature (160° F).
15. SAFELY RELEASE PRESSURE: Select the Cancel
button. Use tongs or a similar utensil to rotate the
Pressure Release Valve counterclockwise from the
Closed position ( ) to the Open position (
(see Fig. F). Allow all pressure to escape.
WARNING: KEEP YOUR BODY (FACE, ARMS,
TORSO) AWAY FROM THE PRESSURE RELEASE
VALVE AREA WHEN RELEASING PRESSURE
TO AVOID BEING EXPOSED TO THE STEAM
RELEASED FROM THE VALVE. FOLLOW THESE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN RELEASING
PRESSURE TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY.
16. When no steam is visible coming out of the Pressure
Release Valve, the Red Pressure Indicator will drop
to the Down position, indicating the Unit is not under
pressure and that the lid can be removed.(see Fig. H).
Open the lid by rotating the handle clockwise. A single
beep will sound. Lift the lid with the handle. WARNING:
PREVENT BURNS! DO NOT TOUCH THE STAINLESS
STEEL EXTERIOR. ONLY USE THE BLACK HANDLE
ON THE LID TO OPEN. CONTENTS IN THE UNIT ARE
HOT. ALWAYS OPEN THE LID AWAY FROM FACE

CAUTION: SOME FOODS, ESPECIALLY
THICKLY TEXTURED STEWS AND SAUCES
AND OILY FOODS, WILL PERCOLATE AND
