USING THE MANUAL SETTING WHILE PRESSURE COOKING
If you have a pressure recipe that requires a manual setting —
or if you simply want to pressure cook using your own pressure
setting and cook time — then select MANUAL PRESSURE and
adjust the pressure and cook time as desired. See the Cooking
Guide on page 29 to find the possible time and pressure
adjustments.

that cooking finishes when you need it.
Note: The DELAY TIMER function is not available on the
BROWN/SEAR, SAUTÉ, SIMMER, YOGURT or AIR FRY/
CRISP settings.
Note: Do not use the DELAY TIMER function when the
recipe has perishable ingredients such as meat, fish, eggs, or
dairy, as these may spoil.
1. Adjust the Cooker settings using the instructions on
pages 18-37.
2. After setting the cooking time, press the DELAY TIMER
button. The DELAY TIMER and START/STOP buttons
will flash, and "0:30" will flash on the Display Screen, to
indicate the Cooker is being programmed on the delay
setting.
3. Press the + and - buttons until you reach the number of
hours and minutes you want the cooking process to be
delayed (i.e. set the amount of time you wish to delay the
cooking cycle). The maximum delay is 4 hours (4:00).
4. Press START/STOP button to begin the delay feature.
The timer and DELAY TIMER button will stop flashing,
