Inside the removable Cooking Pot are markings to guide the fill level of the Cooking
Pot. The word MAX indicates the maximum fill line.
The 1/3, 1/2, and 2/3 markings are handy guides to use in your recipes.
CAUTION: Never load the Cooking Pot above the maximum fill level line marked
MAX on the inside of the Cooking Pot.
Foods that expand during cooking (e.g., rice, beans, dried vegetables, potatoes,
carrots, etc.) should never go above the 1/2 mark.
Note: The Cooker cannot pressure cook without liquid. Ensure a minimum of 8oz of
liquid is used inside the removable Cooking Pot.

P RE S S U RE CO O KI NG

Pressure cooking is an ideal way to create quick, flavorful meals. Pressure cooking is
a method of cooking food in liquid (water, stock, wine, etc.) in a sealed Cooking Pot.
The sealed Cooker retains steam and builds pressure, raising the temperature of the
liquid inside the pot above boiling point. The increased temperature of the liquid and
the steam results in reduced cooking times.
HIGH Pressure Setting is 6.5 - 10 PSI (45 - 70 kPa). It is suitable for a wide range of
foods.
LOW Pressure Setting is 3.3 - 6.5 PSI (23 - 45 kPa). It is more suited to delicate
foods like chicken fillet, fish and some vegetables.
KEEP WARM Setting: When cooking time is completed, the Cooker automatically
switches to the KEEP WARM setting to prevent overcooking and to keep your
cooked food warm until serving - perfect for busy families, those on-the-go and those
who need flexible meal times. This setting is not hot enough to cook and should only
be used to keep cooked food warm before serving.
Ideal Meals to Pressure Cook: Soups, stocks, casseroles, sauces (e.g., pasta
sauces), meat, rice, firm vegetables (beetroot, potatoes) and desserts (e.g.,
pudding).
Capacity: Never fill the Cooking Pot above the MAX line. Foods that expand during
cooking should never go above the 1/2 mark. The Cooker cannot pressure cook
without liquid. Ensure a minimum of 8oz of liquid is used inside the removable
Cooking Pot.
CAUTION: Never use the Quick Pressure Release Method when cooking foods
high in liquid content, such as casseroles, stocks and soups. See RELEASING
PRESSURE instructions on pages 13-14.

Place the Cooker on a flat, level surface.
Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug the Cooker into a wall outlet. The
Cooker will beep, and the Display Screen will illuminate with five dashes (- - - - -).
1. Place your food and liquid inside the removable Cooking Pot.
2. Place the Lid onto the Cooker and align
counterclockwise to the LOCKED
3. Rotate the Steam Release Dial to the "Seal"
4. Select the desired cooking function.
5. Adjust the cooking time and pressure if necessary.
Note: See the Cooking Guide on page 16 to find the possible time and pressure
adjustments.
6. Once you have made the desired adjustments, if any, press START/STOP.
7. The Cooker needs to gain pressure before pressure cooking can begin.
When the Cooker is gaining pressure, "HEAT" will appear on the Display
Screen and the time will not count down. The Status Bar will illuminate to
track the pressurization progress before cooking will begin. The amount of
time the Cooker takes to gain pressure varies according to altitude and water
temperature, but average pressurization time is 13-15 minutes. When pressure
has been reached, "HEAT" will disappear on the Display Screen, and the time
will begin to count down.
8. After the set cooking time has elapsed, the Cooker will beep and will
automatically switch to the KEEP WARM setting. The Display Screen will
therefore change from the cook time to a new timer that will count up to 4:00 (4
hours) or until you press the START/STOP button. After 4 hours in the KEEP
WARM setting, the Cooker will go into stand-by mode, and the Display Screen
will illuminate with five dashes (- - - - -).
TIPS:
1. The pressure cooking settings are in the Cooking Guide table on page 16.
2. If the Lid is not shut correctly or if the Steam Release Dial is not in the "Seal"
position, the Cooker cannot gain pressure and a NOTIFICATION message will
appear in the Display Screen. Ensure that the Sealing Gasket is placed evenly in
the Lid. See the NOTIFICATION CODES chart on page 28.
3. It is common for some steam to release through the Bobber Valve during the
cooking cycle. This is part of normal operation of the unit.
Note: The Cooker cannot pressure cook without liquid. Ensure a minimum of 8oz of
liquid is used inside the removable Cooking Pot.
CAUTION: During cooking, steam will build up in the Cooker, so when lifting the Lid
use a kitchen glove or mitt to protect your hand.
