FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. DOES THE POWER COOKER HAVE LEAD IN IT?
No!
2. WHAT TYPE OF STEEL IS THE UNIT MADE OF?
Stainless Steel
3. IS IT NORMAL TO HAVE STEAM COME OUT OF THE SIDES?
If there is steam coming out of the sides and the button on top of the LID is in the closed position, then the LID has not seated.
This sometimes happens when the unit is new. If the gasket is in place try pushing down on the LID. This should seal the LID
and the steam should stop coming out. It is also important to be sure the Float Valve is assembled correctly. Incorrect assembly
may cause steam to come out the sides or prevent pressure from building. The Float Valve should be able to move up and down
freely only stopping when the silicon gasket meets the LID. It is however normal for condensation to appear in the condensation
collector. See Float Valve Assembly above for correct assembly.
4. HOW DO YOU ASSEMBLE/DISASSEMBLE THE UNIT?
See Diagram on page 8/9 of this manual.
5. WHY WOULD THE LID COME OFF WHEN IT SHOULDN'T?
It would only come off if there was no pressure inside, see answer to question 3 above.
6. WHAT IS THE DEFAULT TIME?
Each cooking mode has a default time that appears as soon as you select that desired mode button. Before the Default Time
"minute count down" clock begins, the unit must first reach the proper pressure and/or temperature for that mode.
7. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THE UNIT TO REACH FULL PRESSURE AND FOR THE COOK TIME CLOCK TO START A COUNT DOWN?
Up to 17 minutes.
8. CAN YOU CHANGE THE COOK TIME, DURING THE COOKING PROCESS?
No. You can only change the cook time if you press the KEEP WARM/CANCEL button and select a new time.
9. CAN YOU LEAVE THE UNIT ON WHEN NOT AT HOME?
Yes! Once the time elapses the KEEP WARM will switch on.
10. CAN YOU PUT FROZEN FOODS IN WITHOUT DEFROSTING?
Yes, remember to add an extra 10 minutes for frozen meats.
